Today

Sonder-Krippenausstellung Krippenmuseum - Haus der Krippen

The focus of the exhibition is on Christmas cribs. Historical cribs take the visitor back to a time when crib shows still had missionary character due to widespread illiteracy - the visual representation of the word of God. The Klüsserath nativity scene friends have put together an extraordinary and diverse nativity scene show. With around 90 exhibits on around 300 square meters, the interested visitor has the opportunity to experience the pictorial representation of the birth of Jesus and to receive expert background information all year round. Opening times: At the moment Saturday-Sunday 2pm-6pm Children up to 12 years free; Inquiries and group registrations are also possible at other times.

Every (three) years again, during the Christmas season, from Friday to Sunday, from 1 PM to 6 PM, the doors of the Nativity Museum open for the grand Klüsserath Nativity Exhibition. In addition to the permanent exhibition at the Nativity Museum, we showcase about 90 Christmas creches that have been built in our nativity building courses over the past three years.
On Sundays, skilled nativity builders demonstrate the art of nativity building in the "Living Workshop," as well as carving, felting, and covering nativity figures.

Our cafeteria invites you to linger with homemade cakes and warm and cold drinks.


In the sales room of the Nativity Museum, nativity figures, various accessories, and nativity literature can be purchased.

In a tombola, high-quality prizes such as a complete nativity scene can be won for 1 Euro per ticket.
