The Keinachtsbaum® Blog

We are very honored that Massivmöbel24 put up a no Christmas tree for their Christmas shoot!
High-quality, durable furniture made from natural materials is the best prerequisite for a sustainable lifestyle!

Mr. Jan makes music for children that adults also like to listen to and therefore pursues a very similar goal as we do with the Keinachtsbaum: to remove the separation between the adult world and the children’s world and to have a good time together.

Christmas is always an important celebration for me – almost like a personal Thanksgiving. A year comes to an end with all its events, encounters and decisions and heralds a…

Every year, millions of fir trees are felled in December, which are then used as Christmas trees in German living rooms for a while. By the end of January at…

Hey, I am Nico, the founder of Keinachtsbaum® and I love trees. Even as a child, I would sit for hours in the treetops to enjoy the gentle swaying or…

Where does the custom of putting up a Christmas tree in the house at Christmas actually come from? There are various theories on this. Not all of them have to…

Due to climate change, the site conditions of our native trees and forests are changing so quickly that they are unfortunately unable to adapt accordingly and are suffering from the heat of recent years and the resulting lack of water in the soil. Our native softwoods in particular, but also our hardwoods, are increasingly affected. That’s why we plant one tree per Christmas tree sold here locally and not in tropical climes.

We are into organic. Whenever possible, we buy organically produced food and products. We are therefore not yet 100% happy that we are not yet able to offer purely organically produced cut greenery. But why is that? We would like to give you a few insights and background information on the cultivation of cut greenery so that you can form your own opinion.

Everyone thinks they know it – the Christmas tree. Sure: you know what types of Christmas tree there are (fir, spruce, pine), and you’ve read on the internet that the Nordmann fir is by far the most popular Christmas tree “species” in Germany. They also know roughly what to look out for when putting up a tree in the living room and how to dispose of the tree properly after the holidays. But there is much more worth knowing! We have compiled some of the most interesting Christmas tree facts – seven in total – here.

It is well known among Christmas tree fans that not all conifers are equally suitable as Christmas trees. Red spruce trees, for example, start needling on the very first day in the living room, and black pines are so resinous that presents placed under them remain stuck there until at least New Year. (However, red spruce and black pine also have special advantages). But which type of Christmas tree is best – and what should you look out for when choosing one?

Of the well over 20 million fir trees that are set up in German living rooms every year as Christmas trees, only around 10% can be replanted (because they were sold with roots). The rest must be disposed of. Where to put all these trees? Fortunately, there are many sensible ways to get rid of a Christmas tree – even with additional benefits for people or animals. So simply leaving the tree with the municipal waste disposal company is by no means the only option. Do you want to dispose of your Christmas tree? We’ll show you what options you have.

Christmas trees are an environmental issue – and not just since climate change has become part of social consciousness. This is not primarily about the climate, but about the waste…

“Organic Christmas tree in a pot”, “Organic Christmas tree from the region” or “Cut your own organic Christmas tree” – these are often the advertising claims made by tree suppliers. But what exactly makes an organic Christmas tree an organic Christmas tree?

A replantable Christmas tree is generally more sustainable than a felled Christmas tree, but it requires a lot of compromise. In addition, the survival of the tree after Christmas is not guaranteed.

Practical test with the family. Driven by the question of whether a conventional and real Christmas tree is really a sustainable solution, Mathias from eltern-kind-tipps.de came across our Keinachtsbaum®. In…

A lot has happened in recent years when it comes to plastic Christmas trees. An inexpensive version is made of PVC, which is visibly inauthentic. The luxury model with injection-molded…

Let’s be honest: we’re actually doing pretty well! Besides the Christmas preparations, the baked cookies and the gift shopping, we often forget that none of this is possible for many…

Cut greenery for your Keinachtsbaum® We are convinced that it is more sustainable to use cut greenery instead of whole trees! When assessing the sustainability of cut greenery, we need…
