Emmendingen’s Glowing Advent Calendar Unites Kids Through Art and Music
Emmendingen has kicked off its festive season with a special illuminated Advent calender at the Schlosserhaus. The display features 24 colourful windows on the city library’s façade, each revealing a surprise every evening. Local schools and artists have worked together to create the event, bringing children with and without disabilities into the project. The Advent calendar 2025 was officially opened with a welcome speech by Deputy Mayor Joachim Saar. Students from Esther-Weber School and Fritz-Boehle Secondary School designed the artwork, while Herr Weber, a teacher at Esther-Weber, coordinated the collaboration. Performances by the Fritz-Boehle School choir and musical contributions from Esther-Weber School added to the festive atmosphere. The project has been uniting children of all abilities through creativity for years. This year’s google calendar continues that tradition, blending art, music, and storytelling. The event runs throughout December, with daily surprises leading up to Christmas.
