Yes

This is incorrect.

The custom of erecting a decorated Christmas tree can be historically traced back at least as far as 15th century Livonia (present day Estonia and Latvia) and 16th century Northern Germany.

According to the first documented uses of a Christmas tree in Estonia, in 1441, 1442, and 1514, The Brotherhood of Blackheads erected a tree for the holidays.

In 1584, the pastor and chronicler Balthasar Russow wrote of an established tradition of setting up a decorated spruce at the market square.
