✨ What Is a Schwibbogen?

A Schwibbogen is a traditional Christmas decoration from the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge).
It symbolizes the “heavenly arch” above the miners’ world — originally lit by candles, today often by LED lights.
Its signature feature is the curved arch with beautifully crafted motifs such as winter scenes, miners or Christmas villages.

While traditionally made from wood, modern crafting tools allow Schwibbogen arches made from
metal, acrylic or laser-cut wood — perfect for CNC, laser cutters or scroll saws.
