Orginal Herrnhuter Sterne

Welcome to the Workshop Showroom of the Herrnhut Star Company

~ Christmas 365 days a year ~

The Herrnhut Star Company´s Workshop Showroom is situated at the company´s main production site. It offers the year round opportunity of viewing the manufacturing process whilst surrounded by a striking array of stars sparkling in various colours and sizes.

 

 

Just as they always have been, Herrnhut Stars are still made traditionally by hand and are pieced togehter in several stages. Visitors can follow the production of a paper star through the various work stations from beginning to end.

 

 

Alongside that of larger stars, the manufacture of the smallest paper and plastic star, with a diameter of just 13cm, can be seen. The manufacture of both kinds of star has it´s own peculiarities. 

 

The assembly of the smallest paper stars is particularly worth seeing, being achieved with the help of tweezers as each piece is glued to the next. This intricate work requires a steady hand. In contrast, the assembly of the smallest plastic stars, being the only star in the product range built around a core fram, is consequently comparatively easier and quicker to achieve.

 

Both younger and older visitors have the opportunity to try their hand at assembling a star themself.

~ Come and visit us - The Herrnhut Star Team look forward to welcoming you! ~
