The latest product in our store
ChristKindl-Markt has been a family-owned business since 1993, when Ruth Krawzcyk opened our first brick-and-mortar shop. Today we import thousands of pieces directly from workshops in Germany's Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) region — the birthplace of the hand-turned Christmas pyramid, the Räuchermann incense smoker, and the modern nutcracker — working with multi-generational manufacturers like KWO, Wendt & Kühn, and Seiffener Volkskunst eG. Every piece we carry is made in Germany using techniques passed down through generations of woodturners and carvers. Whether you're starting a collection or adding to one that's been in your family for years, we're here to help you bring a piece of authentic German Christmas tradition home.
German Christmas traditions are rooted in a culture of craftsmen and artisan guilds. These craftsmen use fascinating techniques to create folk art from solid wood. The items that we carry are high quality and handmade; generations of skilled craftsmen have been passing down their wood turning skills since the early 1800’s. We now encourage the passing of German Christmas traditions to generations to come.

German Christmas pyramids are a beautiful representation of centuries-old traditions and intricate wooden craftsmanship. These gorgeous structures often bear a resemblance to whimsical carousels, and feature delicate figurines and scenes from folklore or religious stories. When lit by candles, the rising heat sets the pyramid in motion, gently spinning tiers adorned with holiday motifs that evoke a nostalgic and magical atmosphere of German Christmas celebrations.
Kits for Christmas decor made entirely from wood capture the essence of timeless charm and festive tradition. These kits have intricate designs that often include items such as wooden incense burners and candle holders, which are meticulously carved and adorned with seasonal motifs. Kits enhance the seasonal ambiance and offer a hands-on and gratifying experience you can share with someone you love.
