"O Tannenbaum" („O fir tree“) is one of the most popular and oldest Christmas carols in the German-speaking countries. The melody probably goes back to an old folk song from the 16th century, while the current lyrics were written in 1824 by Ernst Anschütz in Leipzig - the home of our DAN MOI team.

The simple and catchy melody is used to sing along with various texts outside of Germany. For example, it accompanies the socialist anthem "The Red Flag" of the International Labour Movement, the British and Irish Labour Party or was and is sung as a song by American states (Florida, Maryland, Michigan and Iowa).

The gentle melody sounds more powerful when you remove the little musical mechanism from its lovingly decorated box. Since the mechanism is mounted on a small wooden board, this music box unfolds its sound particularly well when it is pressed onto a large resonating body, such as a table, a chair or a box.
