Than you came to the right place. We collected some information for you to bring you the world of nutcrackers closer. According to German folklore, nutcrackers were given as keepsakes to bring good luck to your family and protect your home. The legend says that a nutcracker represents power and strength and serves like a watch dog guarding your family from evil and danger. Like a fierce protector, the nutcracker shows its teeth to the evil spirits and serves as the traditional messenger of good luck and goodwill.

If you are looking for further detailed information about nutcrackers than we recommend that you might buy yourself one of the books we are featuring. But before that we wish you fun while reading through our production background and the histories of the two major nutcracker manufacturers Steinbach and Ulbricht.
