Schwibbogen Seiffener Kirche mit Kurrende, electrically illuminated, 65 x 43 cm, KWO Kunstgewerbe-Werkstätten Olbernhau in the Ore Mountains
In a time when ore and tin were still mined in the Erzgebirge, the candle arch was invented. After the last shift at Christmas, the miners lit up the mouth of the mine with their miners' lamps. This shape was the inspiration for the traditional candle arch. Initially, miners and christian motifs adorned the candle arches, but today a wide variety of themes are depicted according to taste.
