Ca. 60 geschnitzte Figuren. Erste Etage: Bergaufzug und Handwerker. Zweite Etage: Darstellung der biblischen Weihnachtsgeschichte (Maria und Josef auf der Flucht nach Ägypten, Engel, Soldaten, Schriftgelehrter…). 3. Etage: Paradiesgärtlein mit Adam und Eva, Baum mit Schlange, exotischen Tieren. Der 24. Dezember galt lange Zeit als Adam-und-Eva-Tag. „Der klassische Drehturm aus Schönheide mit seiner Barockbekrönung mag auf die Zeit um 1830 zurückgehen.“ (Adolf Spamer, Deutsche Volkskunst, Sachsen, Weimar 1954) „Älteste geschnitzte Figuren des Bergaufzugs sind auf Pyramiden aus der ersten Hälfte des vergangenen Jahrhunderts (gemeint ist das 19. Jahrhundert) erhalten.“ (Claus Leichsenring, Erzgebirgische Weihnachtspyramiden, Dresden 1993, Seite 51 unter Hinweis auf die Abbildung der Schönheider Pyramide in dieser Veröffentlichung auf Seite 44)
