Origin of the German Christmas Pyramids
The production and use of traditional German folk art used to take place exclusively in the Ore Mountains. Today, Christmas Pyramids are very popular around the world and are used for pre-Christmas decorations and outdoor spaces.
The Christmas Pyramids will fascinate everyone in the family with their filigree wood carving and turning art. On multi-story, carousel-like rods there are detailed carved figures, Christian and secular, which slowly turn their rounds on special turntables. Altogether, the possibilities are endless!
How do they work?
The air that rises from the warmth of the candle rotates the impeller attached at the top and creates a cozy Christmas atmosphere with every spin. But nowadays the pyramids are also available with electric lighting to suit your needs. Summing up, we have a large selection with many themes to amplify your Christmas spirit.
Importance
The Christmas Pyramid has always been popular. It is often left in its natural wood colour or lovingly hand-painted in bright colours. Therefore, there are now hardly any limits to the size and number of levels and creative designs.
Even today, the Erzgebirge Pyramid shows traditional and home-related themes such as miners, animals, or scenes from the Christmas story. It still stands for original German craftsmanship, made to a high standard, to impress with their quality and level of detail.
The inhabitants of the Ore Mountains are particularly proud of this wooden work of art. Since the 1930s, the Christmas Pyramid can no longer only be found in the home environment, but also outside in public places. These Pyramids are produced in large format and are clearly visible from afar. There are now around 150 such large Pyramids in the Erzgebirge district. Some of them are even set up all year round.
