I guess, you would have to say the Santa equates to the "Weihnachtsmann". Many German kids believe that not the Weihnachtsmann but the Christkind (the Christ child) brings the presents on the evening of 24th of December (not on the morning of the 25th like in the US). The figure of Santa is based on the historic Saint Nicholas, whose holiday is celebrated separatly on the 6th of December in many catholic areas of Germany.

Santa Claus' name in German is der Weihnachtsmann. The idea of Santa Claus is alien to German Christmas celebrations.
