More than 800 years ago, the village of Schwaebisch Gmuend was founded bythe Kings of Staufen, who were responsible for settling this region known forits artisans specializing in the production of gold, silver, and brass jewelryas well as decorative ornaments. These works of art were shipped to markets inItaly and Western Europe. The tradition in metal arts survives today in thismedieval walled town located near Stuttgart, Germany.
For generations families have engaged in ornament cutting, designing their ownunique decorations to give friends and relatives as gifts during the holidayseason. The Biedermanns originated the creation of a single Christmas ornamentcommemorating each year, drawing on the talent from this region. In the fall of1970 we contacted several artisan families who among them designed and cut thefirst ornament, which depicted the town square of Schwaebisch Gmuend. Sincethat first edition, each year a group of artists has selected a single designfrom those submitted by the townspeople and the ornament to be cut for thecoming season is chosen. This is now a tradition that the people of SchwaebischGmuend and America cherish. Designs through the years have been selected fromthose created by school children and adults.
