Artificial Christmas trees appeared in Germany towards the end of the 19th century, when the felling of trees for Christmas came in for criticism; small table trees of this kind could be reused year after year and also fitted into cramped living quarters. The blown glass ornaments go back to Lauscha in Thuringia, where the first Christmas baubles and glass fruits were made from 1847. Tinsel was invented in Nuremberg as early as 1610 and was intended to imitate icicles.
