Himmelstadt is looking for helpers for 70,000 wish lists to the Christ child!

The anticipation for Christmas is in full swing, and the Christmas post office in the small sky city in Franconia raises the alarm! While the children are already diligently sending their wish lists to the Christ child, the only Christmas post office in Bavaria is fighting with an acute lack of helper. The volunteer Rosemarie Schotte, 83 years old, reports: "Five people fell away this year!" Young women who are either freshly baked mothers or will soon become. To answer the 70,000 letters that arrive in Himmelstadt every year, in good time, new volunteers are urgently needed.

helpers urgently wanted!

The preparations for the upcoming holidays are in full swing! The hectic time in the Christmas post office begins next week: the volunteers have to open, read and sort the letters from all over the world. Every child receives an answer from the Christ child, and it is not an easy undertaking! Schotte emphasizes that the logistical challenge can only be mastered on site: "We don't send the post to Upper Bavaria to answer." In order to increase the number of helpers to around 40, five to six new volunteers are still necessary. If you want to help, you can get in touch and become part of this magical Christmas mission!

already around 2,000 wish lists have arrived, and the number will increase suddenly from the end of November. The Christmas post office in Himmelstadt, which has existed since 1986, has developed into a popular goal for children who want to personally submit their letters. On the 1st Advent, which falls on December 1st this year, the post office officially opens its doors. The well -known songwriter Rolf Zuckowski is expected as a guest of honor and brings the anticipation for the festive time!
