Traditionelles Adventsblasen

Christmas atmosphere in Advent. For already 50 years, 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 takes place every first Advent Saturday at Hahnplatz in front of the basilica, has been a fixed part of Prüm's customs for many years.
Initiated over four decades ago by the late Prüm sisters Marlies and Berta Hansen, it is based on the traditional Salzburg tower music.

From the tower of the basilica, the balconies, and the windows of the houses around Hahnplatz, the musicians of the music association 1834 e.V. Prüm play pre-Christmas melodies from Germany, the Alpine region, and our neighboring countries.
The impressive aura of the St. Salvator Basilica creates a unique atmosphere at the festively decorated Hahnplatz. The people in the square become quiet and contemplative as the Christmas sounds resonate - a wonderful start to the Advent season.
The musical direction is in the capable hands of Thomas Rippinger, conductor of the Prüm music association. The Advent music attracts numerous visitors to the romantically illuminated Prüm city center every year.
