- German-language Christmas carol. The origin of the song is often given as Carinthia or - probably incorrectly - the Eifel. The first two stanzas come from the collection of Fritz Hugo Hoffmann (1891–1965). The East-German choirleader and lyricist Ilse Naumilkat had the text of the 2nd and 3rd stanza protected by copyright in 1961. However, her lyrics very much match the ones found in the Hoffmann collection.
