 All the towns I visited Christmas markets in had a manger scene somewhere, and most used life-sized figures.

Merry Christmas - lovely, they appear to be beautifully made & maintained painted plaster. They may be a liturgical commercial item and relatively inexpensive, but probably not too cheap, I might guess 19th or 20th century probably pre Vatican II. However, this is Germany, they might be older than sin. I am somewhat surprised that these fragile sculptures appear to be displayed outside.
