<p>Nearly all <a title="Advent wreath" href="http://kmqinmel.wordpress.com/2011/12/08/7-candle-countdown-to-christmas/" target="_blank">Advent wreaths </a>have four candles. But there are some like this one in the Mühlenkirche in Braunschweig with up to 24 candles. This is the traditional design of the Advent wreath, invented by  Johann Hinrich Wichern in 1839.<br />
The Mühlenkirche is a church in an old windmill and there is still the old millstone, serving as a &#8220;wreath&#8221; this Christmas season.</p>
<p><em>Ursprünglich hatte der Adventkranz tatsächlich 24 Kerzen, wie dieser in der evangelisch-reformierten Mühlenkirche in Braunschweig-Veltenhof.  Johann Hinrich Wichern erfand den Kranz in Hamburg für arme Kinder im &#8220;Rauhen Haus&#8221;. So ein <a title="Wichernscher Adventskranz" href="http://www2.evangelisch.de/themen/religion/der-adventskranz-wurde-vor-den-toren-hamburgs-erfunden7242" target="_blank">Wichernscher Adventskranz</a> hängt noch heute zum Beispiel im Hamburger Michel.<br />

<p>This is not an angel &#8211; she is supposed to look like &#8220;Christkind&#8221;! Since in Southern Germany not Santa Claus would deliver presents, but the &#8220;<a title="Christkind on wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christkind" target="_blank">Christkind</a>&#8220;. And to make things even more complicated, this very woman had a completely different &#8220;job&#8221;: She had to clean the handles of the civil registry office in Braunschweig. Following a tradition, especially in Northern Germany some women who turn 30 and are not married are told to do so by their friends. (Men have to sweep the stairs. Both have to &#8220;work&#8221; until someone unmarried kisses them.) As this birthday was celebrated two days before Christmas Eve, the woman was dressed up like Christkind. And as always, there were some drinks involved, hot ones, of course.</p>
<p><em>Dieses Christkind ist gar keines, sondern eine junge Frau, die an ihrem 30. Geburtstag unverheiratet war und nach einem vor allem in Norddeutschland verbreitetem Brauch die Klinken des Braunschweiger Standesamtes putzen musste, bis jemand sie &#8220;frei küsste&#8221;.</em></p>

<p>This picture was taken exactly five years ago &#8211; the view from the balcony of our flat in Cologne. Nine months later we moved to Australia. The two pointed spires in the background (somewhat vague in winter mist) belong to <a title="Cologne cathedral" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne_Cathedral" target="_blank">Cologne cathedral</a>. It&#8217;s the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe and has the second-tallest spires and largest facade of any church in the world.</p>

Not very popular in this case, but normally you can find at least some shivering smokers who were banned from bars and restaurants in 2007. Sometimes blankets are provided. Heaters are forbidden in more and more German cities due to climate change.</p>
<p><em>Viele Restaurants und Kneipen bieten auch im Winter Außensitzplätze an. Meist sieht man aber nur ein paar verfrorene Raucher, die je nach Bundesland seit 2007 oder 2008 drinnen die Luft nicht mehr verpesten dürfen. Oft sind Decken im Angebot; Heizpilze wurden dagegen schon in einigen deutschen Städten verboten.<br />
