Nativity figures made of wood ⁽⁰⁾

The nativity figures from South Tyrol offered in our online shop Germanwoodcarving.com were predominantly created in the early 1980s in the then still small workshops of traditional South Tyrolean woodcarving families . Each hand-carved nativity figure is crafted with great attention to detail and reflects the artistry and passion of the woodcarvers from the Alps.

Early nativity scenes were mostly designed in an Alpine, rustic style , depicting the simple, nature-oriented life of mountain dwellers. Over the years, these evolved into impressive wooden nativity scenes, sometimes with over a hundred figures , allowing collectors to create their own unique home nativity scene .
The finely crafted figures are characterized by delicate details and are reminiscent of the industrious inhabitants of the idyllic South Tyrolean mountain villages from over a hundred years ago.

Among the most popular and well-known nativity sets from South Tyrol today are the Kostner Nativity , Ulrich Nativity , Mahlknecht Nativity , Rainell Nativity, Insam Nativity, and Simon Nativity .
