Comic cribs in Gratwein-Straßengel: A humorous advent magic

The Advent season brings a very special attraction to Gratwein-Straßengel this year, which will inspire both crib lovers and comic fans. In the prelate house on the Kirchberg Straßengler, visitors can experience the "Original Strassengler Comick Ribs" every Advent Sunday from 1 p.m. This extraordinary exhibition offers a humorous variant of traditional crib, which is equipped with world-famous comic figures.

There are a variety of iconic characters such as Asterix, Mickey Mouse, Bart Simpson, Garfield, Lucky Luke and the Smurfs that gather around the scene to pay homage to the Christ Child. The question remains: Where are Maria, Josef and the child of Jesus? Maybe you are still on the go or already on the run to Egypt? This exciting uncertainty stimulates visitors to think.

diverse creative productions

In addition to the comick rib, there are also other interesting installations such as the "pork skirt" and the "bird crib", which critically respond to the pig and bird flu pandemics and address the conditions in factory farming. These creative creations make the exhibition not only entertaining, but also socially relevant.

Another highlight will take place from December 1st in the "Comixeum", the "small comic world". The "Styrian Comribt" is presented every day at 3 p.m. Comic characters from all over the world combine against an impressive backdrop of Styrian landmarks such as the Dachstein, the Basilica Mariazell and the clock tower in Graz. Instead of an angel, Superman hovers over the scenery, while popularities such as Batman, Donald Duck, Kermit, Papa Schlumpf and the Minions are honoring the Christ Child.

These special cribs offer more than just entertainment; They create a unique connection from tradition, humor and contemplation. Families, comic fans and cultural enthusiasts are invited to experience the Advent season in an unconventional way. The combination of Styrian culture and international comic charm is a growing experience that gets new characters and creative ideas year after year. Anyone who gets into this colorful crib landscape will not only be brought to a laugh, but also stimulated to think.
