This LED Silent Night candle arch is an extraordinarily detailed work of art from the Ore Mountains, whose double-sided design creates a festive atmosphere from every vantage point. It captures the contemplative mood of a snowy winter night.
The motif depicts an idyllic winter landscape with multiple levels, lending the arch impressive depth. At the outer edge is a wide, elegantly dark-stained arch decorated with bright stars. In the foreground, two majestic stags can be seen in a forest, accompanied by a small hare sitting by the path. The central section features a detailed, illuminated village landscape with several houses and the famous Seiffen church, whose windows and doors glow. A small river and snow-covered fir trees complete the scene. Delicate stars and a moon are cut out in the sky.
The candle arch is equipped with modern LED technology. The lights are strategically positioned to illuminate the delicate wood carvings from behind, creating a warm, soft glow. A special highlight is the double-sided design of the motif, which makes the arch perfect as a window decoration, as the detailed scene is visible from both inside and out.
The meticulous craftsmanship and atmospheric lighting make this candle arch a timeless symbol of peace and tranquility. It transforms any room into a small, luminous winter wonderland and pays homage to the traditions of the Ore Mountains.

Tradition of the Ore Mountains Schwibbogen
The history of the Ore Mountains Schwibbogen goes back to the 18th century and is closely linked to the mining culture of the Ore Mountains. Originally, the Schwibbogen had no direct connection to the Christmas season, but symbolized light and hope in the dark winter time. The first Schwibbogen was probably built around 1740 in Johanngeorgenstadt, a city that was dominated by mining at the time.
The term “Schwibbogen” comes from architecture. It refers to an arch that is placed between two walls to support them. The Schwibbogen in the form of a wooden candlestick soon became a symbol of the region, where the long winters and hard work underground created a special need for light and community. The first Schwibbogen were made of metal and were often made by the miners themselves. At first they showed motifs from the mining world, such as miners, miners’ lamps and tools that reflected people’s daily lives.
It was not until the 20th century that Schwibbogen began to be used as Christmas decorations. Over time, the motifs changed and Christian symbols such as angels, Mary and Joseph were added. Landscapes and typical scenes from life in the Ore Mountains also found their way into the design.
Today, candle arches are an integral part of the Ore Mountains’ Christmas tradition. Modern candle arches are often illuminated with LED lights and show detailed carvings of villages, churches and traditional figures such as nutcrackers and smokers. They are popular worldwide and for many people are the epitome of Christmas coziness and traditional craftsmanship from the Ore Mountains.
