List of local pyramids in the Eastern Ore Mountains and in Saxon Switzerland

The list of local pyramids in the district of Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge contains the large Christmas pyramids that are publicly financed and maintained by the public. The table does not claim to be complete. The Christmas pyramids , which were originally made for domestic use, are an integral part of customs in the Saxon Ore Mountains and have also been made as large outdoor pyramids since the 1930s. In many places, the pyramid pushing is celebrated annually around the First Advent. Most pyramids rotate until the New Year , in some places until Candlemas .

history

Up until the 1950s there were 10 pyramids in the Ore Mountains, they were still the exception. The increased expansion began in the 1960s (16 new systems were added) and in the 1970s (plus 58 new slewing gears). After the fall of the Wall, a real boom began in 1990 - almost every place in the West and East Ore Mountains built a place pyramid, the inauguration of which was then celebrated with a festive occasion. The number of local pyramids in the Erzgebirge district was 150 at the end of 2014. In addition, there are the many systems in the Eastern Ore Mountains ( district of Saxon Switzerland ) and in other cities throughout Germany. That was at least another 69 pieces at the end of 2014.

Outside the Ore Mountains

Pyramid at the Christmas market in Berlin in front of the Rotes Rathaus in 2008

Outside the Ore Mountains there is also the tradition of local pyramids, for example on the Striezelmarkt in Dresden, which is known as the "largest Ore Mountains step pyramid in the world" (it is 14.62 m high and entered in the Guinness Book of Records ) ( 51 ° 3 ′ 0.51 ″  N , 13 ° 44 ′ 17.12 ″  E ) There are more open-air pyramids in Dresden during Advent on Wasaplatz in the Strehlen district and at the Christmas market in front of the Frauenkirche. The pieces of jewelery are also in use in other Saxon towns (for example Eppendorf , the districts of central Saxony and Holzhau ). Even in Potsdam on the Christmas Mile (Brandenburger Strasse), in Bad Schmiedeberg in front of the Kurhaus or on the central Berlin Christmas market in front of the Red City Hall, pyramids are set up based on the Erzgebirge model. The tradition of local pyramids has even moved into western federal states: In Refrath (district of Bergisch Gladbach ) there has been a twelve-meter-high slewing gear on Peter-Bürling-Platz since 2006, which has been well received by residents and visitors. The Refrather Willi Leffelsend, operator of the local Christmas market, had this pyramid made in 2007 based on a model from Hanover . Life-size figures from the biblical Christmas story are placed on three floors, but the private operators have financial problems. In the twin town of Bad Lauchstädt , in Haan , a Peremett , which was made in Bad Lauchstädt, has also been turning on the Neuer Markt during Advent since 2000 .
