Best known and most unique is the angel
performance of the Augsburg
Christkindlesmarkt.
24 angels appear on the absolutely beautiful
scene of city hall and transform the building into
a huge Advent calendar.
The angels appear every Friday, Saturday and
Sunday at 6:00 pm.
One exception is December 23:
On this day the angels appear at 7:00 pm
and walk down stairs to the portal of city hall.
A small peak behind the scenes:
The angels are young girls from Augsburg who
have been chosen especially for this task.
A charming facial expression, graceful
movements, musical talent and of course the
ability to be free of dizziness are required.
And to be sure no accidents occur while the
angels stand on the sills of city hall, the mountain
rescue team provides for their safety.
