Schwibbogen Saalfeld – HDF light arch with LED, 32 cm

Outside it gets dark early. Inside you make yourself cosy. And your windowsill is still missing that one warm point of light. This Schwibbogen with the Saalfeld silhouette is made for exactly that spot. The four historic town gates and St John's Church (Johanneskirche) light up as a delicate skyline. Your home gets a piece of home town that everyone recognises straight away.

What changes for you

• You bring Saalfeld into your home. The skyline shows the four historic town gates and St John's Church as a detailed silhouette with lettering.
• Your window or shelf looks warm and welcoming in the evening. You don't need much other decoration. The LED light strip with switch sets the mood for you.
• You can put it wherever you like. Thanks to the USB-A plug, the light arch runs on the supplied 230 V plug-in power adapter. It also works on a PC, a laptop or even a power bank.
• You get more light than with ordinary arches. On this special arch, the skyline and lettering light up, and so does the base. This lights up the area around where it stands.
• You can leave it out all year. As a town silhouette, it isn't tied to Christmas. It works as Saalfeld decoration in every season.

Why this Schwibbogen makes a difference every day

An illuminated light arch changes the mood of a room with a single click. You switch it on, and your window tells of home. Anyone who lives in Saalfeld or grew up there will recognise the town gates and St John's Church at first glance. It is a quiet greeting to your own town, every evening anew. And anyone who has moved away has a small piece of home on the windowsill.

Material & finish

The arch is cut with precise laser cutting, so the fine outlines of the town gates come out clearly. This gives smooth, clean edges and delicate silhouettes. It is made from 3 mm HDF, coated white on one side and black on the other. This makes the silhouette stand out in strong contrast to the light. Each arch is glued by hand in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. So you get a handmade light arch, not a mass-produced item.

How to use your Schwibbogen

• On the windowsill during Advent: you switch the light arch on in the early evening. Even from the street, the Saalfeld skyline glows warmly from your window.
• As a gift idea for Saalfeld fans: for a birthday, a house move or someone who has left the town. With this motif you give a piece of home that lights up every evening.
• With a timer on the power adapter: you set the switching times once. The arch then welcomes you with light right on time when you get home.
• On the go or with no socket nearby: thanks to the USB-A plug, the arch also runs on a power bank or a laptop. So it lights up even where no socket is free.
• In a shop, café or office in the region: in the shop window or on the counter, the Saalfeld silhouette shows your bond with the town. It is set up and plugged in within a few minutes.

Good to know about the Schwibbogen

The Schwibbogen comes from the mining tradition of the Ore Mountains. Its arch of lights stood for the miners' longing for daylight in the dark season. This Saalfeld motif takes the idea further. Instead of classic mining scenes, your own home town lights up here. That makes the arch a decoration for the whole year, not just for Christmas.

Care & durability

You don't need to do much. Dusting it now and then with a dry, soft cloth is enough. Avoid moisture so that the HDF and the coating stay looking good for a long time. That way you can enjoy the fine laser-cut outlines for years.
