Where is the origin of the Christmas tree ornament?
The Christmas tree ornament as we know it today comes from the tradition of the tree of paradise. This was a tree that was hung with fruit and pastries on December 24. Apples were most commonly used because of their religious connection to Adam and Eve. But nuts and sweet nibbles also found their way onto the branches time and again, so that the tree also gained notoriety as a sugar tree. In the early days of this custom, the tree decorations were usually made by the family itself. They used the material that was available to them. In the Erzgebirge this was of course the local wood. Today, Christmas tree decorations are rarely made by the family itself - except in our region. Nevertheless, not much has changed in the production.

What wood is used for Christmas tree decorations?
In the course of mining, the timber industry in the Ore Mountains became increasingly important. After mining no longer provided sufficient income in the 16th and 17th centuries, wood became the most important raw material. The first figures were turned or carved from spruce and beech wood. This was also the case for Christmas tree decorations - and it is still the case today. However, other woods are also used for production, such as maple, lime, ash, alder or pine. All these trees are native to the forests of the Ore Mountains and the artisans try to keep the transport routes as short as possible in order to protect the environment. As a particularly fast-growing tree species, spruce is the main supplier for the wood craftsmen in the Ore Mountains.
