Christmas sounds from the wing rock: tradition inspires the region!
Kelheim, Deutschland - This year Veronika Wittl and her son Jakob (13) delight the Altmühltal region on the Advent Sundays with festive sages from the viewing rock wings mountain over Mehern. As in the past five years, they appear at 3 p.m. and play trumpet and tenor horn for around 20 minutes to spread a Christmas mood, whether in fog or bad weather. Daughter Susanne (9) also took her place as a sheet music. This campaign started during the Corona pandemic, when concerts and celebrations were impossible. For Veronika it is now a loving tradition: "It just makes you joy," says Jakob, who likes to make music with his mother, like Donaukurier reported.
In addition, the local artist Günther Schlagbauer built an atmospheric crib on the rock edge, which was damaged by a storm last year. This year he was able to restore the crib thanks to great effort and integrate them into the winter scenery again. The sound of music and the impressive crib gives the Advent season a magical character on the Advent season.
a look into the past
In parallel to the festive music events, it is interesting to look at the historical dimension that also shapes the cultural roots of our region. Jakob Beÿeler, an ancestor from the 17th century, originally came from the canton of Bern in Switzerland and played an important role in the migration of the Protestants to America. This was part of a greater movement that took place during the Reformation time when many Seeking emigrated to new countries after religious freedom. As documented on the genealogical page rootweb , Jakob Beÿeler also followed a marriage to a certain Ferona in 1737 to find a new home with his family.The connection of these two topics - the Christmas sounds in the present and the historical stories from the past - show how deeply rooted the traditions and the culture of our region are. In these contemplative times, not only the festivity is celebrated, but also the journey that many generations have traveled to be here today.
