Here you find Christmas cribs from Israel and colourful cribs from South America, wood cribs from Bavaria and such, made by traditional manufacturers in the German Erzgebirge. Czech and Austrian straw cribs stand side by side with African wood cribs and German tin cribs, some fit in a nutshell, others can’t be overseen.

Posterstein Castle
– well-fortified in the middle ages, welcoming as a museum

The 800 year old fortress Posterstein in the middle of the Thuringian “Sprottental” houses a regional history museum since 1952. The museum invites to manifold exhibitions – the topics are ranging from the castle’s history to an early 19th century salon (“Musenhof Löbichau”).
