Nußdorf cot at the music pavilion

The angel shows the way!

Every year during Advent, a nativity scene is set up in Nußdorf am Attersee from the end of November until Candlemas (dismantling takes place in the last week of January). Larger-than-life nativity figures are displayed in the music pavilion of the municipality of Nußdorf am Attersee. The figures depict people from Nußdorf and bear an astonishing resemblance to them.

The man-sized figures are standing in the music pavilion in Nußdorf and will not be overlooked by walkers or passers-by on the street.

The angel, which is placed above the crib, announces:
"Take a rest and look where the people of Nußdorf keep watch at the village crib at Christmas time - and with their ancestors!

As already mentioned, the figures were made according to own designs by Mrs. Nora Brunnhofer.
She is a trained painter and sculptor and has been responsible for countless sets and masks at the Linz State Theater since 1970.
Mrs. Brunnhofer did not know most of the figures personally and was therefore dependent on photographic representations.
When selecting the materials, special emphasis was placed on weather resistance and easy handling.

Since the figures are larger than life, they need a lot of supporting hands to set them up. Thanks to all those who set up and maintain the nativity scene every year!

Goldhaubengruppe, Verschönerungsverein and the friends of the village crib wish a nice stay at the Nußdorf crib!
