The “Sandmännchen on TV” solid wood arch from RATAGS combines traditional Ore Mountain woodcraft with a cherished childhood memory. It depicts the Sandmännchen (Little Sandman) in a lovingly crafted winter landscape, where small figures and detailed decorations create a particularly cozy atmosphere. This makes the unique solid wood arch a real eye-catcher during the Christmas season.
At the heart of the arch stands the Sandmännchen, wearing his blue coat and characteristic pointed cap. He holds his bag and appears to be on his way to visit his young audience. Right next to him stands a nostalgic television set; the word “Abendgruß” (Evening Greeting) appears on the screen, evoking memories of the familiar bedtime stories that have delighted children and adults for generations.
Several forest animals have gathered in front of the television. Small foxes, deer, and other animal figures gaze intently at the screen, creating a charming scene that invites closer inspection. Meanwhile, snow-covered fir trees in the background lend the arch a wintry feel. The combination of the Sandmännchen, the television, and the forest animals makes this design truly original.
