The History of the Nutcracker

Around 1865, Wilhelm Friedrich Füchtner created the traditional Nutcracker in his workshop in the Ore Mountains, based on the children's book ""König Nussknacker und der arme Reinhold"" written by Heinrich Hoffmann. The classic Nutcracker is a king with a crown on his head, in the colors red-yellow-black, and can crack nuts with his teeth. Füchtner is considered the founder of the wooden doll and is also known as the ""father of the Nutcracker.""

But Why is the Nutcracker Associated with Christmas?

At Christmas markets, you will always come across large wooden Nutcrackers. These unique dolls have been associated with Christmas for centuries. But what is the meaning behind these traditional Nutcrackers? It is partly connected to the famous story ""The Nutcracker and the Mouse King"" by German author E.T.A. Hoffmann, published in 1816. The Nutcracker, the favorite Christmas toy of the seven-year-old protagonist Clara Stahlbaum, comes to life on Christmas Eve in the story. Based on this book, the world-renowned ballet ""The Nutcracker"" was composed by Tchaikovsky.

According to a German folk legend, Nutcrackers are often given as gifts because the wooden doll is believed to bring good luck. Additionally, it will protect the recipient's home, keeping evil spirits at bay with its sharp teeth. That's why many children in Germany receive a Nutcracker at Christmas. Bring the magic of Christmas to life with these timeless and meaningful decorations.
