About Fehrenbach Black Forest Clocks and Gifts

Our History

 

Germany's Black Forest RegionGermany's Black Forest  

 

The Fehrenbach Black Forest Clocks and Gifts story begins with the owner of our company, Mr. Bernd Fehrenbach, who comes from a long line of Black Forest artisans. The Fehrenbach family has been engaged in the business of woodcarving in the Black Forest for at least five generations. Johann Fehrenbach, Bernd’s grandfather, was a carver of fine cabinets, and he passed this interest on to his son, Rudi. Rudi chose to become a woodcarver himself and accepted an apprenticeship in 1949 to learn this fine art. Often working six days a week in the old German way, he became a Master of his craft. In 1969, he decided to open a small shop within the beautiful and historic town of Schonach where he began to apply his new skills to the making of cuckoo clocks.

Meet Our Owner

Bernd, Rudi’s son, gained an appreciation for woodworking and craftsmanship from watching his father. He himself learned to carve, a pastime he still enjoys to this day. To share their art, Bernd and Rudi began to travel outside the Black Forest region throughout Germany, attending craft shows, exhibitions, and especially the world-famous German Christkindlmarkt, or Christmas Markets in English. They also traveled extensively in the United States, where cuckoo clocks and other handmade German gifts are always in high demand due to their reputation for quality.

Visit Our Store

Bernd had larger aspirations, however. Together with his young family, he moved to the United States in 2008, where he opened a German gifts store in Peddler’s Village located in historic Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He experienced immediate success, featuring not just Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks but German Beer Steins, gourmet German food and treats, and German Christmas must-haves like Nutcrackers, Smokers, and Pyramids. Our store also offers European Nativity sets by the companies Anri, Deur, and Pema, as well as other handmade German souvenirs. 

Under the expert direction of our store manager, we have added a large selection of traditional German lace, linens, and hand-blown glass ornaments to our store. Stop in to see her and the rest of our staff. They are always happy to assist in choosing just the right item for any occasion.
