A piece of history
What many may not know: The world's oldest child Jesus is located in the Allgäu. This valuable figure was discovered during renovation work at the Swabian Nativity Museum in Mindelheim and probably dates from around 1300. It could tell stories about the Christianization of the Allgäu and the celebration of Christmas, because it has been changed several times over the years and therefore has a unique historical value, such as Allgäu.de reported.
The pre-Christmas season gives the Allgäu something very special. Regardless of whether you are looking for the ideal gift or simply want to enjoy the festive atmosphere, the Christmas markets offer something for everyone. If you set off in good time, you will experience these impressive markets in all their glory!
