This world-famous Christmas song comes to us from a small Austrian village called Oberndorf. The story goes that, on a cold Christmas Eve in 1818, a pastor called Joseph Franz Mohr was desperately looking for a carol to sing at his midnight mass service later that evening. He picked up a Christmas poem he’d written a few years earlier and took it t...
Believe it or not, but one of the world’s most famous Christmas carols actually has nothing to do with Christmas. Set to the tune of a traditional folk song, the lyrics to O Tannenbaum were written in 1824 by an organist and composer from Leipzig, Ernst Anschütz. The tree that inspired the song was not actually a Christmas tree, but an ordinary fir...
The religious lyrics to this well-known Christmas carol were written in 1837 by Johann Wilhelm Hey from Thuringia; the melody is usually attributed to Friedrich Schiller. The song describes the annual return of the Christkind.
The words for this Christmas carol were written by Hermann Kletke in 1841 and were set to a melody that was already in use in Thuringia and Saxony. This carol is interesting because it reflects the gradual secularisation of Christmas during the 19th century; the birth of Jesus is not even mentioned in the lyrics. Instead, the author focuses on the ...
The origins of this Christmas carol and Marian hymn are shrouded in mystery; we don’t know who wrote the lyrics, nor who composed the melody. It first appeared in print way back in 1599 and has since been published with a varying number of verses and in several translations.

The lyrics were written by Carl Enslin and set to a traditional folk tune. Other people say that the music was composed by Benedikt Widmann. All we know is that S...
Derived from the Czech carol, Nesem vám noviny, this German Christmas carol from Bohemia reflects on elements from the nativity story. The German text was written as a loose translation of the Czech original by Carl Riedel in Leipzig in the 19th century. It’s still very popular today, especially among Protestant congregations.
One of the most famous songs written in the German language, Leise rieselt der Schneewas composed in 1895 by the Protestant pastor Eduard Ebel. It tells of the Christkind’s arrival and the snow falling in winter. The melody is also usually attributed to Ebel, but there is some suggestion that he actually adopted an old folk tune for his song.
Written by the man best known for writing the lyrics to the German national anthem (August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben), Morgen kommt der Weihnachtsmann is a popular German Christmas carol about - you guessed it - the imminent arrival of Santa Claus. It was first published in 1837 under the title Der Weihnachtsmann. Reflecting the militarist...
Originally written in Latin as Adeste Fideles, this traditional Christmas carol has been attributed to a number of different authors - including hymnists, composers, kings and monks - and translated into various languages. It was first published in a 1751 collection of Latin hymns by John France Wade, who is often erroneously credited as the author...
On the Appelplatz, surrounded by electrified barbed wire, thousands of Jews, anguish on their faces, gathered in silence. Night was falling rapidly. And more and more prisoners kept coming, from every block, suddenly able to overcome time and space, to will both into submission.
