The origin of the curtains began in the 15th century. For years it was referred to as bed curtain, because it served as a curtain in front of the bed. But in order to avoid curious looks through the windows, one decided to hang curtains as decoration in front of the respective window.(Dekoration, Fenster)

The curtains themselves were manufactured from translucent fabrics and were supposed to serve as visual shield. The sources of curtains have always been subject to the fashion world. Better and better materials were used for production, such as linen, silk or cotton. Even the most different shapes and colours were adapted to the respective fashion trend. Nowadays, modern machines are deployed for the manufacturing of curtains.

They used to be handworked and were later made by dressmakers with the help of sewing machines in huge sewing departments. You can individually design your living quarters with a curtain. A curtain with lace has an extremely decorative nature. The lace optically accentuates the actual fabric.(Lichtdurchlässige Stoffe, Sichtschutz)
