Passion Play of Oberammergau 2010
Regarded as the longest running play in history, the Passion Play, portraying Jesus' suffering, death, and Resurrection, is presented every ten years in the charming Bavarian town of Oberammergau, Germany. The villagers first performed their play in 1634 in gratitude to God for delivering them from the Black Plague that swept through Europe.
Nawas Only U.S. Christian Travel Company to have Office in Oberammergau
Nawas had its own office in the village of Oberammergau conveniently located next to the Passion Play Theater. We were the ONLY U.S. company with our OWN on-site office in Oberammergau, ready to welcome thousands of Nawas clients over the five month performance season. Performances of this once-a-decade event ran from May through October 2010.

Oberammergau Office
Our travelers' hosts in Oberammergau were Gaby and Paul Lindlbauer, who managed Nawas' office and provided on-site quality control and personalized service.
The Lindlbauers boast many years of experience welcoming Passion Play visitors to Oberammergau. Tour leaders who attended prior Passion Plays with Nawas will remember Gaby as our Operations Manager for the 1990 and 2000 Passion Plays.
Paul was a manager for the ABR Travel Agency which, along with the community of Oberammergau, has been organizing the Passion Play since 1980. Paul was also the head of the Oberammergau Tourist Association.
Longtime Oberammergau Residents
The Lindlbauers were born in Munich but moved to Oberammergau 33 years ago. As longtime residents, they've become deeply involved with the Passion Play itself. Gaby tailored costumes for the 2010 play while Paul and their son Daniel were on stage for crowd scenes.
A Passion for Travel

Gaby and Paul have a passion for travel and have visited the U.S. extensively, including New York, Seattle, Miami, Key West, Denver, Aspen and San Francisco. They especially enjoyed their visit to Yosemite National Park and also went river rafting on the Colorado River from Moab to Lake Powell.
They're also avid nature lovers who take full advantage of the array of outdoor activities and the spectacular natural beauty in and around Oberammergau. They enjoy sports such as mountain biking, hiking, and downhill and cross-county skiing in the Alpine mountains surrounding the village.
The Lindlbauers have two sons, Daniel and Felix, who both live in Oberammergau, and a grandson, Matti, who attends school in Munich.
Personalized Attention
Gaby and Paul look enjoyed welcoming our tour leaders and group members to Oberammergau. They were available for immediate, personalized attention and did everything possible to ensure our clients' Passion Play experience was one they will remember forever.
