Its convection windmill. Usually 4 candles for advent, one additional candle lit each week (on Sunday) leading up to Christmas. We had oe when my dad was stationed in Germany. Its a take off from the advent wreath. Rising heat from the candles, cause the vanes to spin and in this model, the disks in the gazebo also spin along.

@Philski is explaining the mill absolutely correctly
I can say it - I am german

only: four candles were not a "must" - the number of candles has nothing to do with the four weeks before christmas, so you find a lot of them with different nzumber of candles 3, 4, 5, or 6 or even more

"Weihnachtspyramide" is the german term for this nice piece
