 La crèche allemande |
It
all began in the middle of the 1960's. The first nativity scene was just as anyone imagines a nativity scene to be: A room for the birth and a pointed, thatched roof. This typical " German Nativity Scene" arose on a simple building-site with "stone-masons", "bricklayers", "carpenters" and "joiners". All was true to life: The bricks, the walls, the beams, the roof, the flooring. |
|||
| However, oriental
countries do not know pointed, thatched roofs! Thus a new plan was already beginning to ripen: Sometime in the future a second Nativity Scene would be built with the typical, flat, oriental roof. After aquiring the right type of bricks, the idea of building a new Nativity Scene was taken up again in 1998. |

And building was a joy! The style and workmanship remained the same; a small building-site from which developed all that had made up the original stall: A miserable room, yet also a room for the miserable. |
|
| There are
no building plans for a nativity scene. - Using the message of the
Nativity as a guideline, the whole thing is pure "creation"
originating in thoughts. |

So to begin
with the many different types of nativity scenes are simply studies
or thoughts in stone. |
||
| These living,
talking stones together with the "Message of the Nativity"
and the accompanying text, are to pass on "The Message of the
Child in the Manger". |

In their unconventional
and unorthodox manner they are to repeatedly provoke the observer
to question his own relationship to this child - to Jesus. |
||
| The
"Nativity Scene of Time" also speaks of the "Message
of the Child", from the Lord, who was crucified, arose and especially
the Lord, who will come again. |
