The Jahnsbach pyramid is shaped like a candle arch and its figures, inspired by the Erzgebirge, are approx. 1 m high.
The construction was realized by 30 carvers and craftsmen who spent over 1,500 hours working on it. The pyramid is maintained by the Schnitz- und Klöppelverein Jahnsbach e.V. and is erected annually on the 1st Sunday in Advent.
The design was created by Fritz Reuter, Manfred Schneider and Kurt König. The carving work was carried out by Heini Hofmann, Fritz Reuter, Erhard Schaarschmidt and others. The pyramid was erected for the first time on 1 Advent 1976 and is 5 m wide and 5 m high. It is located at the Kreuzkirche church in Jahnsbach.
