This natural-colored and traditional hanging 4 locomotives is lovingly and traditionally handcrafted by the Knuth Neuber company.
The hanging 4 locomotives consists of four small wooden locomotives, each consisting of two parts, so a total of four parts. Each locomotive is made of different wooden elements in natural tones. The colors range from light natural wood tones to darker brown tones.
The locomotives each have a front part that represents the driver’s cab and the chimney, and a rear part that represents the wagon. The driver’s cab is light and has small dark windows. The chimney is in a darker brown tone.
The wagon is rectangular and has a flat roof in a medium brown tone. The wheels of the locomotive and the wagon are small, round and also in a dark brown tone. The entire construction stands on a flat, rectangular base, which is also made of light wood.
The parts are connected with a thin cord, which is also in a natural tone and is used to hang the locomotives on the tree. All elements are very simple and minimalist, which underlines the natural charm of the tree decorations.

The Ore Mountains tree decorations:
Ore Mountains tree decorations are a traditional craft that has its origins in the Ore Mountains, a region in Saxony, Germany. This region is known for its rich mining history, but also for its unique folk art that has been cultivated for centuries.
The production of Ore Mountains tree decorations dates back to the 18th century. After mining in the region declined, people looked for alternative sources of income and developed their wood carving skills. This is how the typical Ore Mountains woodwork, which also includes the tree decorations, came about.
Typical for Erzgebirge tree decorations is the use of natural materials, especially wood, which often comes from the forests of the region. The decorations are characterized by their fine craftsmanship and detailed design. They are often in natural tones or muted colors and symbolize the connection with nature and the traditions of the region.
Popular motifs in Erzgebirge tree decorations are stars, angels, nutcrackers, miners and of course Christmas scenes such as the birth of Christ. Small animals, figures and miniature buildings, such as churches or houses, are also often found. Each figure tells a story and contributes to the Christmas atmosphere.
Another characteristic feature is that many pieces are movable or have small mechanical elements that are reminiscent of old clockworks. This mobility gives the decorations a special liveliness and makes them something special on the Christmas tree.
The tradition of Erzgebirge tree decorations is still passed down in many families today, and the pieces are often passed down through generations. Modern pieces are made in small workshops by artisans who often use centuries-old techniques. But there are also many collectors who appreciate the works of art and decorate the Christmas tree with new pieces every year.
Overall, Erzgebirge tree decorations are a symbol of craftsmanship, tradition and Christmas contemplation that is appreciated far beyond the borders of the Erzgebirge.
