Electric Light Arch with 7 Candles – White

The Electric Light Arch with 7 Candles – White is a beautifully handcrafted interpretation of one of the most beloved symbols of traditional German Christmas culture, created by our FRIEND partner Gahlenz.

Made from solid wood and finished in a classic white tone, this traditional Schwibbogen features a graceful arched silhouette with seven evenly arranged candle-style lights. Its clean and timeless design reflects the traditional character of Erzgebirge Christmas decorations, while the white finish gives the piece an elegant, bright, and versatile appearance. The solid wooden construction highlights the quality of the craftsmanship and gives the light arch a substantial and authentic presence.

The light arch is electrically illuminated and equipped with seven candle-style lights. It operates via a power cord, allowing the candles to glow warmly when connected to electricity. The soft illumination creates a welcoming and festive atmosphere and makes the Schwibbogen especially beautiful when displayed in a window, on a sideboard, mantel, or as the centerpiece of a traditional Christmas arrangement.

The Schwibbogen has a long and meaningful tradition in Germany’s Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge). Originally inspired by the mining heritage of the region, these illuminated arches became symbols of light during the dark winter months. For generations, families have placed Schwibbögen in their windows during Advent and Christmas, creating the warm, glowing atmosphere that has become inseparably connected with traditional Erzgebirge Christmas culture.

With its seven lights, solid wood construction, and classic white finish, the Electric Light Arch with 7 Candles – White brings authentic German Christmas tradition and warm seasonal illumination into your home. It can be displayed on its own or combined with nutcrackers, incense smokers, angels, miners, and other handcrafted Erzgebirge decorations to create a festive and harmonious holiday scene.

This light arch is manufactured by our FRIEND Gahlenz. STEINBACH Volkskunst offers this unique piece in its online shop but does not manufacture the item itself.
