TOURDATA
Roseggerstraße 20-22, 4020 Linz
The Linz Nativity Friends will once again transform the Botanical Garden into a charming Christmas landscape this winter: From November 22 to February 2, intricate nativity scenes can be discovered in the greenhouses and along a circular path outdoors. The detailed works showcase the diversity of traditional and modern nativity art – created with much love, patience, and craftsmanship.
Opening hours: November 22, 2025, to February 2, 2026, daily from 9 AM to 4 PM. (Closed on December 24, 25, 31, and January 1)
About the Linz Nativity Friends:
The Linz Nativity Friends meet regularly in the club's workshop to create artistic nativity scenes from Styrofoam, wood, glue, and paint. "The smaller and more detailed, the more I enjoy building," says chairman Michael Thomasberger. He has enjoyed crafting since a young age and has many tips and tricks up his sleeve. "We mainly use wood and fiberboard, as well as Styrofoam to make the nativity scenes lighter. Houses and base plates are plastered with a mixture of sawdust, glue, and chalk, primed with white dispersion (the second layer with powdered colors), and then finished. In nativity building circles, this term is commonly used and simply means giving a figure, or in our case, the nativity scene, a finish. Dried tree bark can be transformed into stones and rocks in this way. About 40 working hours are likely spent on each nativity scene."
Details about the events of the Linz Nativity Friends can be found on their website www.linzer-krippenfreunde.at.
