In the Christmas bakery there is a German Christmas carol that the musician Rolf Zuckowski wrote and composed. The song was covered several times in the following years.

Content and background

The song describes what goes on in a Christmas bakery or when making cookies.

Rolf Zuckowski himself describes the genesis of the song as follows:

“It was the beginning of December 1986. After a concert in North Rhine-Westphalia, probably Bochum, I phoned my family (my first rented car phone). It was said: 'We bake cookies'. During the whole trip home my thoughts stayed with the baking children and my wife. When I got home, the cookies were ready and so was my song, I had made it up while driving. My son Andreas, then almost three years old, immediately sang the new song on the way to bed. But he changed the melody so that the final line of the chorus also became the beginning of the song. "

- Rolf Zuckowski

In 1987 the song appeared on Rolf Zuckowski's album Winterkinder . In the same year he made an appearance on the television show Wetten dass ..? before, it then developed into a new folk song. In 1992 Zuckowski brought out the song cycle Die Jahresuhr , in which he had selected the song for the month of December. This cycle was filmed by ZDF as Rolf's song calendar and then published as a video.
