The City of Cullman unveiled a stunning architectural landmark last month as part of the rapidly expanding Cullman Christkindlmarkt.

Standing 20 feet, 4 inches tall and spanning 47 feet, 5 inches wide, the new walk-on Christmas arch surpasses the scale of Dresden’s famed Schwibbogen — a marquee attraction in a city internationally recognized as the birthplace of Germany’s Christmas-market traditions.

“This arch is more than a structure — it’s a symbol of who we are,” Mayor Woody Jacobs said. “It honors our founding heritage, strengthens our downtown, and creates a sense of wonder for every family who visits the Christkindlmarkt.

“I’m grateful for the extraordinary work of our (Cullman Parks, Recreation, & Sports Tourism) team and the shared vision that made this possible.”
