Christmas Pyramid, Christmas pyramid in Johanngeorgenstadt, Germany.

The Christmas Pyramid on Platz des Bergmanns is a 25.52-metre steel-framed structure with a hexagonal concrete base and a 11-metre-diameter rotor at the top. Twenty carved oak figures, made from eight tonnes of logs up to 1.1 metres thick, are mounted on cantilever arms in a spiral around the central shaft. Twelve stylized pyramid candles and internal lights illuminate it year-round.

Erected in 2014 through the initiative of local entrepreneur Siegfried Ott, the pyramid was crafted by 16 woodcarvers from Germany and the Czech Republic during a symposium that created 20 figures representing the city's heritage.

The 20 carved oak figures, planned with local historian Frank Teller, spiral around the central shaft and depict scenes from Johanngeorgenstadt's history. Five additional 1.60-metre figures of the Nativity, made by Czech sculptors led by Jiri Lain of Abertamy, stand near the pyramid.

The structure operates with a central rotor wheel measuring 11 meters in diameter, mounted on special ball bearings to enable rotation, while twelve stylized pyramid candles and internal lighting illuminate the display.

Recognized as the world's largest free-standing Christmas pyramid, this monument combines traditional Ore Mountains craftsmanship with modern engineering, featuring figures carved from oak logs up to 1.1 meters thick.
