Designed As A Beacon Of Light And Hope
The most important and beautiful feature of a Christmas pyramid is light - this feature has remained the same for 200 years. Not only does light set the pyramid in motion, it also serves as the symbol of life. Designed a means of light to help the miners of the Erzgebirge, the original Christmas pyramids had little movement involved. Over time as these designs grew in popularity, they became more complex and animated. As the popularity of Christmas trees increased during the 19th century, Erzgebirge craftsmen altered the design to more resemble the shape of a pyramid, serving as the precursor to the Christmas tree. When lit, the heat from the candles rises, turns the fan above and sets the pyramid in motion.
An Authentic Product From The Erzgebirge
Traditional German Christmas crafts originated in the Ore Mountains, otherwise known as the Erzgebirge in Germany, more than 200 years ago. The picturesque town of Seiffen is world famous for its toy making, and is known as ‘Christmas ornament town’. It was in this region that Erzgebirge mountain folk art originated in the 1700s, with designs including Christmas pyramids (weihnachtspyramide), nutcrackers (Nussknacker), wooden smoking men (räuchermann), wooden figurines and candle arches (schwibbogen), all of which are well loved European Christmas decorations today. The Erzgebirge region is so devoted to Christmas decorations that it is known as the ‘Home of Christmas’. By purchasing an item that has been crafted in the Erzgebirge, you are supporting a region that honors its heritage and values.
