Advent calendar Cathedral Square

This calendar made of printed cardboard was first published by Richard Sellmer Verlag in 1947: as the second Advent calendar ever in its publishing history. In the style of classic children's book illustrations, this reprint also depicts a wintry Christmas scene at Domplatz in rich detail.
The city wall with city gate is placed at a small distance in front of the erected three-winged Domplatz backdrop, creating a large panoramic image with a three-dimensional effect.
Starting on December 1, one of the little doors can be opened each day - in keeping with Advent tradition - behind which lovingly drawn secular and biblical Christmas motifs can be found. They are distributed over the entire calendar, along the front city wall (for example at the city gate and Christmas market stalls) as well as in the backdrops of the cathedral square (for example above the fir tree top and in the house entrances). Finally, on Christmas Eve, the last door to open is the large, double-winged cathedral portal.

Collector’s edition. Not suitable for children younger than 14 years of age.
