At The German Christmas Shop, we take great pride in curating the most enchanting handmade treasures from across Germany and few capture the joy and nostalgia of Christmas quite like the creations of Paul Ullrich Kunsthandwerk.

If you’ve ever admired the charm of a hand-carved Santa or the gentle spin of a candlelit Christmas Pyramid, you’re about to fall in love. We’re beyond thrilled to carry pieces from the Ullrich family workshop, a name synonymous with tradition, imagination, and pure Christmas joy.

A Legacy Carved in Wood

Founded in 1880, the Ullrich family has been crafting Christmas and Easter decorations for over four generations in the heart of the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) of Germany, the birthplace of wooden Christmas art.

Their workshop, tucked deep in this storybook region, is where whimsical wooden figures come to life. Every piece is hand-turned, sanded, painted, and assembled by skilled artisans who continue a craft passed down through the decades.

Nostalgic, Playful, and Purely Magical

There’s something instantly heartwarming about the Ullrich style. Their figurines and pyramids have a cartoon-like nostalgia that feels both timeless and joyfully childlike the kind of charm that makes you smile before you even realize it.

From cheerful incense smokers to delightful snowmen and miniature Santas, each piece tells a story one that connects us back to a simpler, more magical time when Christmas was all about wonder.

A Treasure for Collectors and Dreamers Alike

Whether you’re looking for a Christmas Pyramid that glows with candlelight, a tiny Räuchermann (incense smoker) to scent your home with warmth, or an Easter figurine bursting with color and personality, Ullrich’s collection offers something special for everyone.

We fell in love with their playful spirit when we first encountered Ullrich, and we know you will too. ❤️
