German Nativity Scene
German Nativity Scene
It all began in the middle of the 1960's.
The first nativity scene was just as anyone imagines a nativity scene to be: A room for the birth and a pointed, thatched roof.
This typical " German Nativity Scene" arose on a simple building-site with "stone-masons", "bricklayers", "carpenters" and "joiners".
All was true to life: The bricks, the walls, the beams, the roof, the flooring.

However, oriental countries do not know pointed, thatched roofs!
Thus a new plan was already beginning to ripen: Sometime in the future a second Nativity Scene would be built with the typical, flat, oriental roof.
After aquiring the right type of bricks, the idea of building a new Nativity Scene was taken up again in 1998.

And building was a joy!
The style and workmanship remained the same; a small building-site from which developed all that had made up the original stall: A miserable room, yet also a room for the miserable.

There are no building plans for a nativity scene. - Using the message of the Nativity as a guideline, the whole thing is pure "creation" originating in thoughts.

So to begin with the many different types of nativity scenes are simply studies or thoughts in stone.

These living, talking stones together with the "Message of the Nativity" and the accompanying text, are to pass on "The Message of the Child in the Manger".

In their unconventional and unorthodox manner they are to repeatedly provoke the observer to question his own relationship to this child - to Jesus.

The "Nativity Scene of Time" also speaks of the "Message of the Child", from the Lord, who was crucified, arose and especially the Lord, who will come again.
