Das Christkind, which literally translates to “Christ child,” is the traditional bringer of gifts on Christmas Eve in Germany. The 2019 Christkindl opens the Nuremberg Christmas market. In the largely Protestant north and east, the Weihnachtsmann is considered the bearer of Christmas gifts. Who brings the Christmas gifts to your family - Santa Claus or the Christ child? Wenn das Christkind die Geschenke für die Kinder hinterlassen hat, es wird gesagt, dass es eine kleine Glocke läutet.
