Christmas in the Courtyard 2026

Kerstin Beul – Coconut Tree | Regensburg

Fine threads, intricately knotted with great attention to detail, become unique pieces of jewellery. From delicate bracelets and playful patterns to designs inspired by nature, each piece is handmade using traditional macramé techniques.

A particular highlight is the “Coconut Tree” bracelet: its intricate knots evoke a delicate palm leaf, bringing a little tropical spirit to your wrist.

Handmade, natural and with a touch of wanderlust – unique little treasures to give as gifts or keep for yourself.

Anna and Markus Fuchshuber | Regensburg

With great attention to detail, Anna and Markus Fuchshuber create these special lamps as a shared project close to their hearts.

Small works of art are created from real ostrich eggs:
Fine, hand-milled drawings transform each shell into a unique piece full of poetry.
Softly illuminated from within, they unfold a warm, magical glow: a light that touches both heart and room.

Each lamp is a one-of-a-kind piece, mounted with elegant fittings on driftwood: a piece of nature that tells stories.
In addition to the artfully milled lamps, there are also simple versions without milling, enchanting with their natural beauty and the delicate structure of the egg.

It is said that the sea gives its treasures only to those who understand its language.

“Abalone – The Luminescent Ocean Vessel”

This extraordinarily shimmering abalone shell is more than a natural find: it is a hand-shaped masterpiece from the deep sea. Its iridescent shades of blue, green and rosé recall liquid moonlight and make it an object that calms, inspires and fascinates at the same time.

Whether on a coffee table, on an altar or at the center of a special moment, this abalone is not merely decorative, but energetic: a quiet companion radiating protection, gentleness and depth.

An object for people who do not need to show elegance loudly, but magnetically.
A piece of the sea that decided to keep working.

 

Friederike Schleyerbach | Beratzhausen

“Katharieder Bauernhanddruck” follows an old craft tradition with enthusiasm and idealism: hand printing. This hand printing is created by the Schleyerbach family in their own craftsmanship and, on request, individually as a personal special or custom-made piece. High quality and sustainability go without saying. For 38 years, “Katharieder Bauernhanddruck” could be found in Kramgasse in the heart of Regensburg’s old town.

 

Ruth Bellmer | Regensburg

Hand-crocheted Christmas tree decorations are a special eye-catcher in festive decor.

With great attention to detail, Ruth has crocheted an entire Christmas world. Our tip: her charming crocheted bookmarks.

 

Helmut Hartl | Wenzenbach

With skilled craftsmanship, a feel for form and great attention to detail, carefully selected woods are transformed into unique creations. Elegant writing instruments, beautifully shaped bowls, delicate jewellery and small decorative treasures are all turned by hand with care and precision.

Nature shapes the design: individual grain patterns, warm tones and the distinctive texture of each wood give every piece its unmistakable character.

Our current exhibition, “Peek Performance – Kunst im Augenblick” (“Art in the Moment”), makes it possible: Regensburg artist Bernd M. Nestler is presenting small-format originals created especially for our Christmas market.

Quick, spontaneous strokes, vivid colours and a wonderful lightness capture the moment in expressive little artworks – each one an unmistakable original.

A special piece of art to give as a gift, fall in love with or simply hang in your own home.

Laura Hartl | Regensburg

With her start-up “Glowbake”, Laura Hartl shows that mindful enjoyment and sweet temptation go wonderfully together – and are easy to bake yourself.

Her cakes are vegan, gluten-free and naturally sweetened: a delicious alternative for anyone who wants to avoid certain ingredients without compromising on taste.

Naturally sweet, surprisingly delicious and baked with lots of love.

Susanne Träg | Regensburg

Made with love, for little ones and their big adventures!

Needle and thread become lovingly sewn or knitted baby clothes, fine liqueurs and wholesome syrups simmer in the kitchen, and Swiss stone pine reveals its finest side. Love, creativity and dedication make every piece something special.

Johann Zimmermann | Beratzhausen

An institution in Tändlergasse.

For more than 50 years, trained master carpenter Johann Zimmermann has run the chess shop in the AltstadtQuartier. After passing his master craftsman’s examination, Mr. Zimmermann specialized in marquetry at the end of the 1960s and opened a shop for chessboards.
