I bought Christmas ornaments at this location about 23 years ago. I was just telling my husband the story of how I bought these really beautiful ornaments that still adorn our family tree every year. These are now treasured family heirlooms that are timeless. The amazing thing is that they are just as pretty as when I bought them 23... more

One word to sum up the Christmas Shop - Overwhelming. It was the first shop where we felt we could get lost in. There were several floors of all kinds of Christmas decorations. There was everything you could think of from traditional European glass blown decorations through to hundreds of types of balls and everything inbetween. There was a massive... more

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

If you get to Germany and make a side trip to Rothenburg, you will never forget this shop. It is a bit expensive, but you will not find these articles in the United States. 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
