Christmas Pyramid
©Rüdiger Dunker
The Darmstadt Showmen's Association, in co-operation with the City of Science Darmstadt, gave the Darmstadt Christmas market a landmark in 1996 with the Christmas pyramid on the market square fountain. The association finances the pyramid and the city provides support with the licences.
The pyramid was made in 1995 by the Hilmersdorf local history association in the Ore Mountains. For its 20th anniversary in 2015, the pyramid was given a new structural design with a substructure made of steel beams. It was also completely repainted and the lighting was converted to modern LED technology.
The assembly of the 9 metre high pyramid is carried out by the showmen's association and takes approx. 10 hours with 8 workers - the dismantling takes approx. 8 hours.
