The construction site of the LASK stadium is not far, but the garden of a residential building on the Froschberg in Linz is more attractive until January 6. Reason: Erich Fröschl’s cradles.
“I’m not the good precision mechanic. I don’t have a plan either, so it’s different every year,” says Erich Fröschl. The man from Linz worked as a financial accountant for 24 years, then in an apartment with boys with behavioral problems. retired and a passionate manger builder.
What started nine years ago with a Mostfassl nativity scene has now grown into a landscape consisting of six different nativity scenes, which can be admired at Brahmsstrasse 27 in Linz. Fröschl has set everything up in the garden of the house. Pieces of bark, brushwood and moss were placed, and there are exactly 243 figures here – from the Holy Family to the Shepherds.
He began preparatory work at the end of September. The world of cribs in the garden of the residential building has been ready since November 27. It will remain until January 6. Until then, Fröschl switches on the lighting consisting of Christmas lights every day at 4.30 pm and ignites the 24 tea lights in the lanterns. At 21:00 it is “lights out”.
The 68-year-old can often be found in the world of cribs: “It’s fun to make adults and children happy and watch them take pictures of the crib or shake their heads in disbelief.”
