What began in 1986 as a committed experiment has long since become an international crowd puller known as the "Viennese Advent Magic" Christmas market in the Rathauspark. For ten years, visitors from near and far have been transformed into that expectant mood that we usually only know from fairy tale books. At the latest when entering the magnificently decorated Rathausparkes the gray everyday life remains like a discarded coat back. The trees decorated by artists are also the theme of the 1996 Christmas brand. The angels designed by Wolfgang Pupek float in the upper left corner, while the "Herzerlbaum" designed by Gerry Gam lights up on the upper right, which has almost become a symbol of the Christmas season in Vienna , The central motif of both the magic of Advent as well as the Christmas stamp is a crib with larger than life figures, which was created by Gero Schwanberg. The branded background features the illuminated town hall and the Christmas tree, which comes from a different Austrian province every year. Hundreds of candles make him shine at night in bright light. The Viennese "Christkindlmarkt" and "Christkindl's Workshop", where children can tinker with small gifts under the expert guidance, close the breech around the Christmas brand 1996. Vienna and the magic of Advent wish you a Merry Christmas!
