Christmas in St. Pauls

The wine village of St. Pauls invites visitors to its traditional Paulsner Advent from November 29, 2025, until Epiphany on January 6, 2026.

The program begins on November 29 with the opening ceremony and a crafting session. Special highlights include the procession of the Wildmonn Tuifl (Krampus group) and the visit of Saint Nicholas. Reflective atmospheres are created by the Adventsingen (Advent singing) and the performances of the Living Nativity Scene. Local crafts are presented on the dates of the Handwerk am Dom (Crafts at the Cathedral) market. On Christmas Eve, the Turmbläser (tower brass musicians) will provide a festive conclusion.

The Paulsner Advent stand is open on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as on Monday, December 8, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. respectively.

Wildmonn Tuifl Parade

On the eve of St. Nicholas' Day, December 5, the Wildmonn Tuifl—a local Krampus group wearing terrifying wooden masks and furs—parade loudly through the alleys of St. Pauls. This traditional custom provides a thrilling and fascinating contrast to the contemplative St. Nicholas celebration on the following day.
