Jahresendflügelfigur

German de 2016 December 20 Etymology A compound of de Jahresende year's end Flügel wing Figur figurine. The name was allegedly introduced as a product designation for Christmas figurines by the authorities of the Communist German Democratic Republic, which strove towards the elimination of Christian references in public life. The common German word is de Weihnachtsengel Christmas angel, of which “year’s end winged figurine” seems to be a “secularized” version. It has not been proved, however, that this particular name was ever officially used, which makes it more likely to have originated as a popular persiflage.
