In der Stille der Winternacht, fällt der Schnee so sacht,
Tannenbäume leuchten hell, im gold'nen Kerzenschein,
Familien kommen still herbei, um den Frieden zu teilen,
Singen Lieder voller Heil, in der kalten Nacht.
In der Stille der Winternacht,
Wo die Liebe leise wacht,
Klingt ein Lied, so sanft und rein,
Vom Frieden, der in uns scheint,
In der Stille der Winternacht,
Ist der Himmel nah und klar.
Durch die Straßen weht der Wind, trägt die Lieder mit sich,
Von der Freude, die er bringt, in der Weihnachtszeit,
Und die Herzen füllen sich mit Licht und Zuversicht,
In der Stille der Winternacht, leuchtet jedes Heim.
Jeder Stern am Himmel weit,
Trägt ein Licht der Ewigkeit,
In der Stille finden wir,
Unsern Frieden, hier und hier.
In der Stille der Winternacht,
Wo die Liebe leise wacht,
Klingt ein Lied, so sanft und rein,
Vom Frieden, der in uns scheint,
In der Stille der Winternacht,
Ist der Himmel nah und klar.
In der Stille der Winternacht,
Wo der Frieden ewig wacht.
Christmas in Germany, or "Weihnachten," is one of the most celebrated holidays, steeped in tradition and festive spirit. The holiday season begins with Advent, marked by the use of Advent calendars ("Adventskalender") and wreaths ("Adventskranz") with four candles, one lit each Sunday leading up to Christmas Eve. Germany is also famous for its "Weihnachtsmärkte" (Christmas markets), where people gather to buy handmade gifts, ornaments, and enjoy seasonal treats like "Glühwein" (mulled wine) and "Lebkuchen" (gingerbread).
On Christmas Eve ("Heiligabend"), families come together for a festive meal, which varies by region but often includes dishes like roast goose ("Weihnachtsgans"), sausages, or carp. After dinner, the exchange of gifts ("Bescherung") takes place, often followed by attending a midnight church service ("Christmette"). A key figure in German Christmas traditions is "Christkind" (Christ Child), an angelic figure who brings gifts to children, though in some regions, "Weihnachtsmann" (Santa Claus) is also a part of the festivities.
Music plays an essential role during Christmas in Germany. Many carols and hymns have origins in Germany, and these songs are an integral part of church services and family gatherings. Traditional caroling, known as "Sternsingen," is also a cherished activity, where children dress as the Three Wise Men and sing Christmas carols while collecting donations for charity.
This world-famous Christmas carol, originally written in German, is a timeless classic. It was composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber, with lyrics by Joseph Mohr. The song’s peaceful melody and lyrics capture the solemnity and joy of Christmas.
Another well-known Christmas carol, "O Tannenbaum," celebrates the evergreen tree as a symbol of enduring hope and life during the winter season. While the melody is cheerful and uplifting, the lyrics emphasize the beauty and strength of the Christmas tree.
This German Christmas carol captures the serene and quiet atmosphere of a snowy winter night. The lyrics reflect a sense of peace and anticipation for the celebration of Christ’s birth. It’s a popular song to sing around Christmas in German households.
This traditional German hymn invites children to witness the nativity scene and celebrates the birth of Jesus. The song’s joyful tone and simple melody make it a favorite among families and is often sung in church services.
