This Marienberg candle arch is another beautiful arch from the Klaus Kolbe manufactory, lovingly handcrafted and with an eye for detail.
The candle arch tells the story of the Ore Mountains – from mining to toy making. Take a moment and let the detailed motif take effect.
The Marienberg candle arch impressively tells the story of the Ore Mountains. At its center is St. Mary’s Church in Marienberg, artfully depicted as a snowy scene. Its snow-covered roofs and the violet-blue sky create a festive atmosphere. Below, a miner works in the illuminated tunnel – a symbol of the region’s mining tradition.
The arches of the candle arch are reminiscent of the shape of a tunnel entrance. Glittering elements along the curves symbolize the rock deep underground. Eight electric candles are evenly distributed across the arches, bathing the scene in warm light. The structure is made of light wood with visible struts and a dark frame.
Numerous figures on several levels depict everyday life and crafts in the Ore Mountains. At the bottom left, a man and a woman lead two goats. Behind them stands a hunter with a rifle. On the right, a craftsman carves a small piece of wood. Another figure plays music at a table. A woman next to them paints a toy – typical scenes of Ore Mountains folk art.
In the upper section, six miners stand in parade uniform. They hold instruments, miner’s lamps, or stand in an upright posture. Their presence emphasizes the importance of community and tradition. In the center is a colorful coat of arms with miners’ symbols.
Small details such as miniature mine cars and fir trees complete the picture. Each figure appears handcrafted and lovingly painted. The architecture and symbolism of the candle arch testify to a deep connection to the homeland.
The Marienberg candle arch combines craftsmanship, history, and the Christmas spirit. It represents identity, pride, and the vibrant culture of the Ore Mountains.
