Weihnachten auf der Sayner Hütte mit Charlotte Althans
In der Sayner Hütte 4, 56170 Bendorf-Sayn
The Sayner Hütte presents a new Christmas tour of a special kind: An hour full of history, warmth, and family memories surrounding the Sayner Hütte.
During the scenic tour, Charlotte Althans, the wife of the "Chief Hut Construction Inspector" Carl Ludwig Althans, takes on the role of the narrator and invites you to a personal encounter with tradition and work in historic rooms. In doing so, Charlotte Althans chats about Christmas customs and family traditions as they were lived at the hut. She provides insights into the work and influence of her husband, Carl Ludwig, and describes his impact on the interactions and working world in the Prussian ironworks. Amidst Christmas cookies, punch, and intimate anecdotes, Charlotte recalls how children and workers experienced the Christmas season, what rituals were maintained, and what life at the hut looked like back then.
The entertaining tour offers a sensory mixture of historical facts, personal
stories, and authentic everyday moments. Visitors can expect an
atmospheric event in a historic setting that brings the past to life – ideal for families, culture enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to experience the Sayner Hütte from a new
perspective.
Relax with a glass of Christmas or "Elf Punch" and enjoy the Sayner Hütte in a cozy atmosphere. Charlotte Althans looks forward to welcoming you as a guest and promises a memorable journey back to the 19th century.
