What festivals were traditionally celebrated during the winter months? How did people cope with the cold in the past? What stories do lights, figurines and winter-themed objects tell? The exhibition covers everything from festive Christmas traditions to winter sports and leisure activities. In keeping with Loriot’s quote, ‘There used to be more tinsel’, the exhibition features, amongst other things, historical Christmas tree decorations and festive décor, as well as winter sports equipment and toys. One highlight is an electric heating pad which, in the 1960s, kept more than just the Falterturm in Kitzingen warm. The exhibition is open during the town hall’s opening hours.
