The Anklöckler, who remember Maria and Joseph’s search for a hostel, visited on December 9th. They performed twice. Once for the residents on the first floor and once for those on the second floor.

The station manager on the first floor is Michael Bachmaier. The 35-year-old Mittersiller discovered his passion for the nursing profession as a community service worker here. The trained salesman can now look back on a number of services during the Christmas holidays. He will also be in action this year.

And he’s looking forward to it: “During the holidays and especially on Christmas Eve, the atmosphere is very special. In the morning everything necessary is done, but then contemplation returns. Because the setting is smaller and more manageable, the action always takes place takes place on both floors. A volunteer and a former civil servant play music, there is a Christmas snack with coffee and sausage soup in the evening. Everyone receives small gifts that were made together. This was no different with St. Nicholas’ visit. One part Our ‘protégés’ can no longer verbally express the joy of what is happening, which of course also includes the lights on the Christmas trees, but the joy and emotion is written on their faces. A highlight is that our home manager on all three rough nights smoke and don’t miss a single room. For me, all of this is something very beautiful; it moves a lot in me. The others on the team feel the same way.”

On Friday, December 22nd, the Mittersill Liedertafel will also pay a visit to the house. And another special feature: The all-purpose room on the ground floor has been designed as an Advent market for the first time this year – beautifully decorated and with cozy meeting places for the residents of the house and their visitors.
