And each star brings a new chapter.
We’re taking you on a wintry story from Ueckermünde - with an old storehouse, little secrets and moments that unfold their magic especially at this time of year.
Look forward to a warm, festive story that will accompany you throughout December. ⭐
Four Sundays of Advent, four stars, and a little story that unfolds week by week. A first star appears … and everything begins.
a calm and beautiful First Sunday of Advent!
In an old granary in Ueckermünde – where the wooden beams still whisper stories of winters long past – Anna finds a small, dusty wooden box.
When she opens it, she discovers only a single hand-carved star and a note inside:
“It is a single star that shows the first step into the light.”
Nothing more.
But beneath the star she feels something – a tiny groove.
And suddenly… a small slip of paper slides out.
On it, it says:
“Come back next Advent.”
full of light and beautiful moments!
The second Sunday brings new light – the first star begins to shine …
A week later, Anna returns to the old warehouse, curious.
The star is still lying there, but this time it glows faintly – as if someone had quietly brought it to life.
On the back of the star, she now discovers an engraving that wasn’t there before:
“Seek the place where stories begin.”
Anna thinks.
Stories… the warehouse… or maybe the Hotel am Markt with its historic storage house, where people have gathered for years?
When she arrives there, she finds a second star on a windowsill in the foyer – and a trail of shimmering wood dust.
A Christmas mystery is beginning to unfold.
we’re sending you light, calm, and a touch of Christmas magic!
The trail continues: three stars point the way.
On the third Sunday of Advent, both stars sparkle brightly.
When Anna places them side by side, the engravings form a pattern that looks like a map – a small, encrypted set of directions.
She follows the signs into the old town – straight to the Brauhaus Stadtkrug.
There, she discovers a third star – larger, more ornate.
Beside it lies a small letter:
“When you find the final star, you will understand what they shine for.”
Anna senses it:
The stars are more than just decoration.
They mean something.
filled with light and warmth!
The final Advent Sunday brings the revelation.
The fourth star appears at dawn on the last Sunday of Advent – this time already hanging at the entrance of the brewery.
As Anna touches it, all four stars begin to glow warmly.
The engravings now clearly form a single word:
“Togetherness.”
In that moment, Anna understands:
The stars were never meant to lead to a treasure of gold, but to something far more valuable – the people who share Christmas together.
That evening, she hangs the four stars on the Christmas tree in the brewery.
One by one, guests arrive. They smile, talk, raise their glasses – and suddenly, there it is: exactly what the stars had promised.
People realizing that everything is simply better together.
✨ The stars have shown the way – and now we wish you a Christmas that brings hearts and people closer together.
May your holiday be warm, peaceful, and full of wonderful moments.
from the Hotel am Markt & the Brauhaus Stadtkrug in Ueckermünde 🌟
