Every year on the first Sunday of Advent, the Sonneberg Toy Museum invites visitors to its Christmas-themed afternoon with special offers. And where better to celebrate than in a building filled from top to bottom with toys from all over the world? Even if many of them are just for looking at.
An offer for curious individuals, those seeking training or jobs – this is the format that has been established for several years, allowing everyone in southern Thuringia, from Meiningen to Neuhaus and from Arnstadt to Eisfeld, to get their own personal impression of companies in their region.
The fact that Meiningen was ultimately responsible for bringing the Christmas tree to England is just one of the stories that the Meiningen Santa Claus tells during a visit to the Christmas market and the castle there.
More than 1,000 interested young people and more than 70 expectant skilled trades businesses – that, at least, is the extremely encouraging result of the South Thuringia Chamber of Crafts' introductory and participation program.

In order to familiarize the residents of Meiningen with their city forest and to show them the special concept according to which it is to be managed and developed, district forester Frank Henkel and master forester Sebastian Dummer invite them to morning walks on selected Sunday mornings.
Organized for the first time, the "Long Night of Culture" has been very popular. Starting in the afternoon and continuing until late in the evening, visitors can enjoy a wide range of cultural offerings at various locations throughout the city, including places in Meiningen that are usually reserved for the public.
Where there's food, there's also drink. And at an event like the Street Food Festival, something a little more unusual is also welcome. You'll find that among the many stalls on Meiningen's market square.
The Meiningen market manager has been working hard for years to bring the street food trucks to Meiningen. Now, for the first time, he's also pleased with the positive response to this offering at his marketplace.
