Kinderland St. Stephan

November 25 to December 23, 2024 | Daily from 11:00 a.m.

Every year during Advent, St. Stephen's Church Square becomes a magical children's land. A small steam locomotive cheerfully makes its rounds and, together with the lovingly staged fairytale scenes, transforms the square into a children's wonderland. A special highlight - in addition to the visit of the Christ Child - is the stage with a changing children's program. From the magician Parastu to Punch and Judy. Festively decorated little houses offer food and drink for young and old.

When children's eyes light up, the Christ Child in Karlsruhe is not far away. On the first three Sundays in Advent, children can hand in their wish lists in person to the Christ Child at 2 p.m. or post them in the letterbox in Kinderland. After the Christkind has collected the children's wishes, he will draw ten wishes and fulfill them with the support of the Karlsruhe play pyramid!

The Grimm family ... and if they haven't died, they are still alive today!
But in the real world, everything looks very different. The prince searches in vain for the dragon, full of zest for action, Little Red Riding Hood likes to get lost among people and coming home is out of the question. There are also grandmothers everywhere, the witch would like to fall in love, but her own nose gets in the way, the giant who bends iron has only poetry on his mind and prefers to give flowers as presents ... and if you want to know what happens next, come to Fairyland and experience it live!
