The open-air crèche in the Wehrgraben district, near the museum railway station, was founded by Siegfried Jäger in 1996. After his death, it became the responsibility of the Verein Wohnen Steyr (emergency shelter) in 2004. Life-size wooden figures are decorated anew every year at the waterfall. The figures are restored in the “Kraftwerk” day structure, lovingly dressed by many helping hands from all departments of the association and completed with faces by the day center. Great importance is attached to traditional elements, but the creativity of our clients and employees also finds its place in this special nativity scene time and again. We attach great importance to sustainability and upcycling in these “redesigns”. This year, many old pallets have found a new, valuable purpose and you can buy handmade products at our sales stand right by the Teufelsbach. The greatest gift for our clients is to know that their lovingly crafted specialties have found a happy buyer. Our staff will be happy to provide you with information about our work and support opportunities for our association over a delicious shepherd's punch and cookies. ![Krippenausstellung im Palmenhaus](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/403816/2D5FD1B906DC1D3FAAC44FF7F07F474ADC001488ECAD8AA31C3CCFAEE9761F45/krippenausstellung-im-palmenhaus.jpg "Krippenausstellung im Palmenhaus") Crib exhibition in the Palm House The highlights of the exhibition in the Palm House are the baroque Lamberg nativity figures and the so-called ‘Waggon Nativity Scene’ by Josef Seidl from Mühlviertel, which was specially made for the ‘Light into Darkness’ campaign. made especially for the ‘Light into Darkness’ campaign. ![Spielplatz im Schlosspark](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/406309/2A94ADECD321BD2EEA805A856970EB407B475A7F3D5032B0A77382DE3A40F4CC/spielplatz-im-schlosspark.jpg "Spielplatz im Schlosspark") Playground in the castle park ![Steyrer Kripperl](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/404857/1E51BF28DD1D44360C41B95C5979ECBFBBA4D7A123FF744C41D9017F0C0D7F5B/steyrer-kripperl.jpg "Steyrer Kripperl") Rod puppet theatre „Steyrer Kripperl“ The Steyrer Kripperl is one of the last remaining rod puppet theatres that is still performed.
