A look at the archives shows that St. Nicholas has been a welcome guest for over 60 years. Back then, he was still accompanied by his faithful companion Knecht Ruprecht. Together, the two of them visited all the primary school classes and, even back then, not only had words of praise, but also occasional words of warning. The messages focused particularly on the topics of behavior and morals, which impressed the pupils at the time - and sometimes made them a little awestruck.
Although the appearance of St. Nicholas has changed since those days, his visits have remained the same. He returns again and again to bring joy to the children and make the Advent season a special experience.
