Traditional German Gifts from the Erzgebirge - Gift from germany

The Erzgebirge-palace offers traditional German gifts from the wonderful Erzgebirge region in Saxony. The Erzgebirge (ore mountains) is a very traditional German mountain range that has been producing wonderful wooden german gifts and collectibles for centuries. Besides that it is a very popular tourist area with many beautiful castles and hundreds of other interesting locations. The small cities Seiffen, Marienberg and Olbernhau draw Millions of guests every year. The town of Seiffen (3000 inhabitants) has about 300000 visitors from around the world on every advent weekend that enjoy the wonderful little town, the unique festive atmosphere and buy Original German Christmas gifts for their loved ones. From 1945 to 1990 the region was under Soviet occupation (German Democratic Republic) and the production of wooden gifts was one of the few business branches that still produced goods for the international market. Already at that time an Original Erzgebirge nutcracker or Christmas pyramid has been a very special collectible and a treasured gift from Germany for many people from around the world. After the end of Communism in Europe the German Erzgebirge came ?alive? again. All the famous workshops were reopened or expanded enormously.

All the wonderful nutcrackers, incense smokers (smokermen), wooden Christmas Schwibbogen (Light Arch, Candle Arch) and wooden music boxes that come from the Erzgebirge have brought fun and joy to lovers of Original German gifts.
