Nordmann Informations-Zentrum

The Nordmann Information Center shares information and inspiration about Christmas, with a particular focus on the Christmas tree and its traditions. Through its website and the “Schöne Weihnachten – Freude schenken!” initiative, it presents stories, ideas and activities intended to help people celebrate and share the season’s joy. Topics include the history of Christmas customs, the origins of gift-giving traditions, tree decorations from different cultures, Advent trees and ideas for children’s trees.

The site also offers creative decoration projects, such as handmade shimmering leaf ornaments and mandala-inspired baubles, described as accessible ways to create personal Christmas tree decorations. Its news and events highlight nature and the appeal of naturally grown trees, alongside activities such as providing Christmas trees for ships in Hamburg’s harbor. Visitors can also find media resources, downloads and press releases, as well as contributions from television gardener and Christmas ambassador John Langley. The center’s content combines seasonal knowledge, family-oriented creativity and community initiatives, encouraging visitors to explore Christmas traditions and find ways to bring festive cheer to others.
