Sparkling once more for the yuletide, illuminated Christmas houses in Baden-Württemberg's southwest are a beacon of joy. In Lichtenstein, Reutlingen district, the spectacle lies in an icy landscape. Until January 1st, visitors can marvel at this dazzling display from 5 pm till 10 pm. Jörg Meißel, the homeowner, sharing his long-standing Christmas tradition of decking his house with over a dozen Christmas figurines, mentions an impressive 6-meter Christmas tree as well. Last year, this festive delight set him back around €330 on his electricity bill.
Over in Erdmannhausen, Ludwigsburg district, Andreas Niehues-Zimmermann's house sparkles with 300 figurines and 90,000 LEDs. His wife, it appears, is the driving force behind this delightful narrative, a polar bear in armor from "The Golden Compass" being a testament to her inventive talent.
Sadly, no colorful Christmas house awaits in Karlsruhe-Neureut this year. Thorsten Grüger's move to Bruchsal and the ongoing construction around the new house have forced a brief hiatus. However, the spirit of Christmas hasn't been dimmed; Grüger has promised a return to form next year.
Exploring Baden-Württemberg's southwest during the festive season isn't complete without a stop at the Lichtenstein's radiant Christmas house.
