    For some reason, the word, “celebrates” feels weird to describe a Krampusnacht festival in Germany. Maybe “observes Krampusnacht” may be more fitting? Either way, here’s something you need to know about Germany: Close your eyes and “picture” Germany. What do you see? Probably some fat bellied men in tight Lederhosen swinging a Maß of Bier around wh...

    Please note that some articles contain links that earn me a small commission at no extra cost to you. If you don’t know the origin of Krampus yet, this half goat half devil is the counter part to the traditional St. Nicklaus in parts of Southern Bavaria. In Bavaria, they don’t do Santa Claus like we are used to in the US. There is a “Weihnachtsmann...

    Oof. Try explaining this story to your 6 year old first grader who just learned about this. To be honest, since I didn’t grow up in Bavaria, I always thought the legend of Krampus was “just a thing.” Like something kids had heard of, maybe even caught a glance of at a Christmas Market, but not like full on taught. You know, something equivalent to ...

    So where is Krampus from? Well, nobody is exactly sure, but most believe he originated in what is today’s Austro-Bavarian region (Salzburgerland) which includes Berchtesgaden (Germany), Salzburg, and St. Johann im Pongau (Austria) among other Alpine towns, however, he is especially popular in the South Tirol region of Austria as well. While most so...

    Most “Stereotypes” about Germany (Lederhosen clad men, pretzels so big they cover your whole face, real life fairytale castles that inspired Disney himself) are actually not stereotypes. All those things exist! Well, at least in Bavaria. The reality is that when most people “Think of Germany” they often are envisioning Bavaria- why do you think I l...

    (Krampi? What would be the plural form of Krampus!?) For regions that revere this long standing tradition, boys as young as 16 can be initiated into their Krampus Group or Club (They often call it a “Pass” in Austria and a “Bass” in Germany) but once he’s married (at least in some locations) then he’s booted out!!

    While the traditional Krampus (a half demon, half goat man) is probably the most well “known” of the German Christmas Demons, you can find even more authentic, cultural experiences in the heart of Bavaria. Depending on the region you are in, or even what tradition the locals are practicing, you may see several different names. Most are different di...

    Like I said above, many towns will have a Krampus “wreak chaos” at a Christmas market or even have their own Krampus lauf. But there is a small region in Germany with truly one of the most traditional, cultural experiences I’ve ever seen.One of the most popular areas for the German Krampus is in the Bercthesgadenerland (South East corner of Germany...

    What is the “Best Krampus Festival?” Well, are you looking for a local (more traditional) event or are you looking for a big ol’ scary Krampus Parade and event? Depending on what you go to will greatly impact the kind of experience you have.

    Germans have a lot of stereotypes. Just like how Oktoberfest is not synonymous with all of Germany (as neither is Lederhosen), Krampus is not celebrated everywhere in Deutschland. In fact, you’ll probably only find Krampus in Southern parts of Bavaria, particularly in the Alps. The furthest “North” I’ve seen him is in the Oberpfalz region of Bavari...
