Richly decorated Christmas parlours fascinated people in historical times. Trees and walls were decorated with Santas, angels and tinsel, and sleighs and Christmas nutcrackers put a sparkle in children’s eyes.<\/p>\n

Historical Christmas decorations have long been popular collectables. Numerous private collections are dedicated to this field, which has a special significance as a reflection of middle class life in bygone times. The collection of historical Christmas tree decorations and Christmas paraphernalia on show in the Couven Museum belongs to the Eschweiler collector Heinz Lanzen, who has accumulated an extensive collection of almost 800 objects. They range from items from the Biedermeier period to curious little devil baubles from the ’20s and decorations from the mid ’40s of the 20th century.<\/p>\n
