Alfons Nagler, der letzte Figurenschnitzer der Krippenfreunde Schnaittenbach

Krippenbauer gibt es viele in der Region – ans Figurenschnitzen wagt sich kaum einer. Alfons Nagler hatte auch Respekt vor seinem "ersten Jesus". Inzwischen ist der 88-Jährige der letzte Figurenschnitzer der Krippenfreunde Schnaittenbach.
