Best Answer

The German name for Santa Claus is der Weihnachtsman. Unlike the UK and US, he is not connected to Saint Nicholas, whose feast day is celebrated in Germany on 6 December.

Der Weihnachtsmann came about in Germany through exposure to foreign culture, mainly the UK and US. Traditionally presents are brought on Christmas Eve by the Christkind (Christ Child)
