Traditionelles Adventsblasen

Christmas spirit during Advent. For 49 years now, the Advent blowing has been one of the highlights of the Christmas season in the abbey town of Prüm.

Advent Concert

This atmospheric concert, which always takes place on the first Advent Saturday in front of the Basilica on Hahnplatz, has been an integral part of the Prümer tradition for many years.
The Advent blowing was initiated more than four decades ago by the late Prümer sisters Marlies and Berta Hansen, inspired by the traditional Salzburg tower blowing.

From the tower of the Basilica, from the balconies, and from the windows of the houses around Hahnplatz, the musicians of the Music Association 1834 e.V. Prüm perform pre-Christmas tunes from Germany, the Alpine region, and our neighboring countries.
The impressive aura of the St. Salvator Basilica creates a unique atmosphere on the festively decorated Hahnplatz. People in the square become quiet and contemplative when the Christmas sounds resonate - a wonderful start to the Advent season.
The musical direction is in the experienced hands of Thomas Rippinger, conductor of the Prümer Music Association. The Advent blowing attracts numerous visitors to the festively illuminated Prümer town center with stars every year.
