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)
