Herrnhuter Sterne Main House

Highlight • Monument

This is where the success story of the Herrnhut Stars began in 1897.
Created over 160 years ago in the bosom of the Moravian Church, the Moravian Star is considered the origin of all Christmas stars. At the beginning of the 19th century, the first star made of paper and cardboard shone in the boarding school rooms of the Moravian Church. In the 19th century, the boarding school rooms were mainly home to missionary children. Since living conditions in the mission areas were often adverse, parents sent their children back home when they reached school age. They received an education and upbringing under the care of the Moravian Church.
The history of the “Stammhaus – since 1897” is closely linked to the book and music dealer Pieter Hendrik Verbeek. On September 3rd, 1894, P.H. Verbeek opened the "book, art and music store" in the Winter House in Herrnhut and had the current headquarters of Herrnhuter Sterne GmbH built in parallel in 1894/1895. In 1895, the company moved to the headquarters, where Herrnhuter stars had been sold since 1897.
The headquarters of Herrnhuter Sterne GmbH combines historical scenery and traditional craftsmanship. Herrnhuter stars have been available to buy in the headquarters since 1897 and with a new design and concept, it combines tradition and modernity. The newly created "Werk Raum" shop area stands for exclusivity and quality and represents handcraft in its purest form - created by exquisite manufacturers.

Herrnhut Sculpture Trail

Highlight • Monument

On the six-kilometer trail between Herrnhut and Großhennersdorf, you'll learn about the history of the Moravian Brethren and the biography of Count Zinzendorf in a unique way. 17 different artistic sculptures, such as "The Dispute," "The Parable of the Mustard Seed," and "Under the Lord's Protection," accompany you on this easy-to-walk forest trail.

If you'd rather avoid the return walk, you can also take bus line 27, which runs regularly between Herrnhut and Großhennersdorf.

The Dispute Sculptures

Highlight • Monument

Some damage from the weather is already visible on the sculptures. They are heavily overgrown, which makes the individual figures stand out better.

Forest playground with treehouse and wooden swing

Highlight • Rest Area

On this forest path there is a small playground and a table with two benches for a rest. It's not your usual playground. Here you can find vertical tree trunks of different heights for climbing, a slightly unusual swing (more of a platform on chains) and a tree house.

Carers do important and responsible work. You can only take your hat off to them.
I have been a volunteer on the board of the Löbau care association for many years and today we went on a short hike along the sculpture path with the association members and their partners, followed by dinner at Eulkretscham.

May 2, 2023,Runde um Herrnhut

Today is the day off and I'm doing a little circuit around Herrnhut.
It goes very quietly on many forest paths. Very pleasant not to meet anyone for a few hours and to be without communication.
I sit by a small forest lake for a long time and listen to nature and myself.
In the Jesus house I have my …

Not the stiff, but the quarrel and not obhur, but care. Glasses would not have been bad.
Nice afternoon tour.
