Description
The region of Western Pomerania has a lot to contribute to the advent and Christmas customs known today. As early as the late Middle Ages, it was reported that presents were laid out in shoes for the children at Christmas time. The romantic Philipp Otto Runge from Wolgast played a major role in the custom of putting up a decorated tree for Christmas. Furthermore, the old Hanseatic city of Stralsund is the city with the oldest Christmas market on the Baltic Sea coast. In a broad range, Gunnar Möller presents Christmas customs and traditions from over five centuries for the Western Pomerania region.
