#Christmas - how is this piece of wood craft called?

• Lichtkranz

• Weihnachtslicht

• Lichterkette

• Schwibbogen

Answer explanation

A Schwibbogen is a decorative candle-holder that originated in the Ore Mountains region of Saxony, Germany. It is closely related to the mining traditions of the Ore Mountains and most likely developed as a candle holder made from metal for the Christmas shift (Mettenschicht), a common dinner celebrated by miners, the mining foreman (Steiger), and the smith who had been responsible for the mining tools throughout the year. The most famous design was created by Paula Jordan in 1937 for a show in Schwarzenberg. Modern designs are typically made out of wood and depict historical or religious scenes, and the Schwibbogen is often seen in the windows of German homes around Christmas time.
