In Leipzig, where history meets modernity, one of the region’s most significant floristry events takes place – the Advent Exhibition at the legendary Blumenland Engler. Founded in 1889, this iconic location transforms every year into a magical winter wonderland. This year’s edition, held from November 9 to December 8, attracted numerous flower lovers who had the chance to admire creations by masters from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
A Floristic Starry Sky
This year, the exhibition was designed by the elite of European florists, who showcased their unique interpretations of the main theme – Winter Fantasy. The artists included:
Markus Pommer (Munich)
Jennifer Mühlbauer (Pirna)
Gunar Mühlbauer (Pirna)
Claudia Schröter (Dresden)
Katrin Richter (Mülsen)
Sabrina Reiner (Innsbruck)
Anika Reber (Amriswil)
Magic in Every Detail
During the exhibition, Blumenland Engler turned into an enchanted winter landscape. Guests were welcomed at the entrance with magical sounds of Christmas melodies, the scent of roasted almonds and mulled wine, and thousands of twinkling lights. The entire shop space was filled with unique, masterful arrangements.
The Winter Fantasy theme was interpreted in a variety of ways:
• Natural decorations with moss, cones, and twigs impressed with their simplicity and eco-friendly concept.
• Modern installations surprised with minimalist design and subtle color accents.
• Classic Advent wreaths in traditional red and gold tones evoked the spirit of past holidays.
Blumenland Engler – Tradition Since 1889
The story of this special flower shop began in 1889, when the great-great-grandfather of the Engler family planted the first begonias. Since then, the company has become a symbol of the highest quality and passion for floristry. The Englers not only preserve tradition but also embrace innovation, creating a space where every bouquet and decoration is something special.
The Engler family also organizes classical concerts in their unique venue, adding an artistic dimension to their exhibitions. They support floristry through shows in collaboration with master florists, inspiring the local community.
The family character of the business can be felt everywhere. It is a place that connects generations and where every guest feels at home. Perhaps that’s why every composition holds a kind of magic that’s hard to find elsewhere.
A Floristic Journey Through Winter Fantasy
Visiting the exhibition at Engler is a feast for the senses. In every corner of Blumenland, floristic artworks were hidden. Guests could not only admire the decorations but also purchase selected compositions, while the masters created new projects live.
This event is more than just an exhibition – it’s a journey into the world of Christmas magic.
Conclusion: A Place Worth Visiting
The Advent Exhibition in Leipzig is a must-see for every flower enthusiast. It’s a meeting with the finest masters, tradition, and a unique atmosphere. Everyone who visits leaves inspired and filled with Christmas joy.
