Steyrer Christkindl

Meet the Steyr Christmas Angel!

What could be more beautiful than a pre-Christmas visit to the city where the "Christkindl" resides? Where ancient traditions come back to life and remind one of their own childhood. In the Christkindl town of Steyr, a personified Christkindl has been created.

On the Advent weekends, the Steyr Christkindl is out and about in the city center and can also be booked exclusively for appearances.

The costume, consisting of a bodice, skirt, and cloak, a crown and a cap, is designed based on historical templates. The tailored costume has, in its details, craftsmanship, and silver embroidery, the baroque Lamberg’sche nativity figure of the angel of the Annunciation as its model. For the color scheme of the costume, the colors green – silver – white were chosen, as the Steyr festive attire, designed by Dr. F. Lipp, features these colors.

The master tailor of traditional costumes, Waltraud Musenbichler, processed 196.5 meters of fabric and trimmings and additionally adorned the costume with 540 crystal-colored Swarovski stones.

Gift tip: “From Wishing, Waiting, and Wondering – Laura is searching for the Steyr Christkindl” – the book for the 20th anniversary of the Steyr Christkindl.
