The Tradition of the German Nutcracker

German nutcrackers have been part of Christmas celebrations in the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) for centuries. Originally carved as kings, soldiers and other figures of authority, they were admired as symbols of strength and protection over the home during the Christmas season.

Today, Richard Glässer preserves those same woodworking traditions while bringing new personalities to life. From Santa Claus and Bavarians to Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, each handcrafted nutcracker celebrates the craftsmanship, character and enduring charm of this beloved German Christmas tradition.
