Nutcrackers have been made in the Ore Mountains since the 18th century. Their bitingly grim portrayal is intended to reflect the authorities. Because that's how the nobility had to work for the common people - cracking nuts.
Over the course of time, the Ore Mountain nutcracker developed more and more into a purely decorative figure, although its functionality is still there. In addition to kings, hussars and soldiers, there is nowadays a wide range of enchanting motifs.
