Crossing the threshold of a home in Rinteln, a town west of Hanover, transports visitors directly into a scene that rivals the North Pole itself. This is the extraordinary dwelling of Susanne and Thomas Jeromin, who have officially been recognised for creating the most densely festive interior on the planet.
A Certified World Record of Festive Cheer
The couple's incredible achievement has been formally certified by the Record Institute Germany (RID). The official title they hold is for fitting an astonishing 621 fully decorated Christmas trees under a single roof. This isn't a temporary exhibition but their permanent, year-round residence, where the spirit of December lives eternally.
Every Nook and Cranny Bursting with Christmas
There is no escape from the festive magic in the Jeromin household. Each room has been utterly transformed. The living area is a forest of towering fir trees, while the office takes on the aura of a glowing, magical winter cave. Even practical spaces are not spared; the kitchen sparkles with trees positioned next to the washing machine and tinsel carefully wrapped around every cabinet handle.
The bedroom continues the theme, with clusters of trees reaching for the ceiling standing guard beside the bed and framing the television. In the minimal spaces remaining between the evergreens, the pair have artfully crammed giant candy canes, cascading strings of baubles, and a vast collection of festive figurines that would be the envy of Santa's own workshop.
Living Inside a Christmas Expedition
Navigating through their home is described as less of a simple tour and more of an expedition through a dense, glitter-filled forest. For Susanne and Thomas Jeromin, this is not merely an elaborate decoration phase; it is their chosen lifestyle. They don't just decorate for Christmas—they inhabit it completely, creating a personal wonderland that has now been etched into the record books.
The sheer scale and dedication showcased in their Rinteln home offer a unique and breathtaking twist on traditional festive spirit, proving that for some, Christmas is truly a state of mind and a way of life.
