German Gifts - Erzgebirge Wood Crafts - Nutcrackers

Erzgebirge crafts are well-loved wooden art pieces from Germany that not only make the perfect gift but are also a collector’s item that can be passed down — just like our Black Forest cuckoo clocks. The German-made nutcracker is one of the most well-known wooden crafts to originate from the region. Their popularity grew in the 19th century and became synonymous with Christmas time. You may have seen all types of Erzgebirge wooden handicrafts for sale at Christmas markets around the world and in souvenir shops across Germany. While the early nutcrackers were functional and used to crack nuts, many of them sold today are purely decorative. Take a look at our unique selection of Erzgebirge nutcrackers below, which come in various sizes and colorful costumes.
