Meanwhile, in Germany, an image from 1521 shows a tree being paraded through the streets with a man on horseback behind it. The man is dressed as a bishop, perhaps representing St. Nicholas. 

There is a record of a small tree in Breman, Germany, from 1570. It is described as a tree decorated with "apples, nuts, dates, pretzels and paper flowers". 

The first person to bring a Christmas tree into the house was probably the 16th century German preacher Martin Luther.
