Weihnachtszauber

Weihnachtszauber 2020 e.V. is a volunteer-led association based in Lübbecke, Germany, dedicated to giving children facing difficult circumstances a joyful and welcoming Christmas experience. Each year, volunteers transform the grounds at Wiehenweg 52 into a festive forest filled with lights, decorated fir trees and small surprises. Children are guided through the setting by friendly elves before meeting Santa Claus, who shares a story, listens to them and gives each child a personally chosen gift.

The association welcomes school classes, kindergartens and social institutions for visits on designated days, offering groups an opportunity to enjoy the forest and meet the elves and Santa. Selected evenings may also feature events such as a St. Nicholas celebration, a mulled-wine concert or a fire show, open to the wider community. The experience is made possible through donations, sponsors and volunteer support. People can contribute money, gifts for children or practical help, including setting up and decorating the site.
