We bought an expensive clock in the Käthi Wohlfahrt store in Rothenburg and had it shipped home. Sadly, the clock was broken on the inside when we unpacked it. We were happy to discover they have an office in America for this type of thing. We shipped the clock to Wisconsin I believe. A short time later we received a... more

Ok...it's not REALLY an off season Christmas Market but no matter how many times I visit one of these shops in the midst of summer, it makes me crave the Christmas Markets. The ornaments are really lovely. I have a "moon" theme and pick up one of the moon cut ones everytime I happen to have a chance to visit. more

Arrived back yesterday from visiting the astonishing Christmas Markets. As beautiful and enchanting as the Kathe Wolfahrt's Christmas shops are, they are very expensive! If you want simple straightforward decorations, there is a "wholesale" shop immediately inside one of the many entrances to the town. It is close by the childrens playground entrance and I think the name of the... more

I have been to this shop a few times while living in Northern Bavaria. It was enchanting and always put me in the mood for the holidays, whether it be July or the middle of the Christmas season. My first visit was shortly after moving there and it was my birthday and it snowed. It is truly a romantic step... more

I think they only exist in Germany. Quality items that will make treasured heirlooms. There are actually two stores in Rothenburg. One is like a Christmas... more

I enjoyed Kathe Wohlfarts stores in Heidelburg and Rothenburg.The displays are beautifully done and wonderful to look at. Being an experienced Christmas shopper myself I recognized much of the merchandise in the stores. True as previously mentioned by another shop owner, some items are from China or other sources. But it is difficult to find the unique in a world... more

I have been to Katie Wohlfahrt's shops in Germany for years and years. True, there are spectacular displays, especially in Rothenburg, but I feel that if the wooden items are suppossed to be "German Made", they should be. In a shop of this type, catering to the tourist trade, when items are sold they are expected to be made in... more

I love Christmas. I'd play Christmas music year-round if I didn't feel it would spoil my anticipation for the yuletide. Imagine my fascination walking into Kathe Wohlfart's - head to toe, up and down, inside out, Christmas. Ornaments, ivy, candles, angels as far as the eye can see! It's a great place to wander around and get ideas for your... more
