Erzgebirge, Germany – October 21, 2021 – CuckooClocks.com is excited to announce the launch of its new website featuring handmade wooden crafts from the Erzgebirge.
The Erzgebirge, or the Ore Mountains, holds a special place in German history where mining of tin and precious metals boomed in the late middle ages. When mining was not a viable income source, miners began woodworking and selling their crafts. And this is how the folk art of Erzgebirge was born.
The tradition lives on in Seiffen, where every day is Christmas. Here you can find workshops where handicrafts and ornaments are made with great precision and skill. These include Christmas pyramids, world-famous nutcrackers, incense smokers, candle arches, figurines, and more that bring joy and the holiday spirit to people from all over the world. With the new website, those that can’t visit Seiffen in person can access wooden crafts from the region from their home.
Co-owner of the new Erzgebirge website, Claus-Stefan Duffner, explains why they started it:
“Germany is steeped in history and many people don’t know that a lot of Christmas traditions actually originated in Germany. We started the new website because we love the original German products of the Erzgebirge that helped people get in the festive mood. They also make your home a wonderful cozy place during the holiday season. We think now more than ever people need something to brighten their spirits.”
The Growing Popularity of Choosing Eco-friendly Handmade Gifts
Gift-giving can be stressful for those who are environmentally conscious. Many do not want to buy the latest tacky, low-quality plastic item at the mall. Wooden gifts are an eco-friendly alternative that is thoughtful and unique and is a gift that keeps on giving year after year. Erzgebirge crafts are well-loved wooden art pieces that are even considered collector’s items. They are aesthetically pleasing, fill your home with joy during the holiday season, and can be passed down from generation to generation.
