Did you know that the Schwibbbogen (an illuminated wooden Christmas arch) from the Erzgebirge …
didn’t used to be a symbol of Christmas time; rather, it depicted the difficulties of the time. People put the luminous arches in their windows so that the miners could find their way home in the dark. This tradition is still maintained today in the Erzgebirge, where the Christmas arch lights up many windows during the Advent season. The first ever arches date back to the 18th century from the region around Johanngeorgenstadt. These arches represented the crescent-shaped mouth of the mines where the miners hung up their mining lamps. The inside of the arch illustrates how people earned a living in the Erzgebirge at that time – with lace-making, carving and mining.
We would like to thank you for your trust in us over the past year, and wish you and your family all the best for the holiday season.
Warm wishes from Grit and Torsten Hoffmann, as well as from the entire BWH team
