English summary: What do a mailbox, Bethlehem, an address book and a shop window have in common? They can all be the answer to the question 'Where?' This year's calendar looks out for places such as these, for places that do or could play a role during advent, the Christmas season or the New Year. The 37 contributions portray the season in the form of thoughts, poems, prayers and short stories. Whether in a snow flurry, in an exchange of glances, from within the heart or through the sense of smell, in words themselves or in memories, this calendar takes us to real and everyday and also to rather surprising places. The Forum fur Zeitfragen (forum for current affairs) was founded in 1993 as the Evangelical Reformed Church's centre for further education and information in the city of Basel. Since then, it has been a regular venue for lectures, panel discussions, courses etc. in the fields of current affairs, theology and culture, personal development and spirituality. An additional point of focus has been individual counseling sessions for both women and men. German description: Was haben ein Postfach, Betlehem, ein Adressbuch und ein Schaufenster gemeinsam? Sie alle konnen eine Antwort auf die Frage Wo? sein. Der diesjahrige Kalender fragt nach eben solchen Orten, nach Orten, die im Advent, in der Weihnachtszeit oder zum Jahreswechsel eine Rolle spielen oder spielen konnten. Die 37 Beitrage verorten den Zeitraum in Gedanken, Gedichten, Gebeten und Kurzgeschichten. Ob im Schneegestober, im Blickwechsel, im Herzen oder in der Nase, in den Worten selbst oder in Erinnerungen: Ausser zu erwartenden, ganz konkreten Schauplatzen fuhrt der Adventskalender zu ganz uberraschenden Orten.
