Bavarian Nutcracker – A Tribute to German Tradition and Craftsmanship

Celebrate Bavarian pride and German craftsmanship with the Christian Ulbricht Bavarian Small Nutcracker. Finely handcrafted in the Erzgebirge region of Germany, this charming figure captures the warmth and joy of Bavaria’s cultural heritage.

Standing 11 inches tall, the nutcracker is dressed as a true Bayer - a proud Bavarian. He wears a traditional black pointed hat adorned with a blue and white band and an edelweiss flower, the cherished symbol of the Bavarian Alps. His outfit features a light red jacket with golden buttons, a belt with a gleaming buckle, dark green shorts, and classic black shoes with golden buckles.

In one hand, he holds a blue and gray beer stein, and in the other, a freshly picked green and white radish, a beloved Bavarian snack. Together, these details bring to life the joyful spirit of Germany’s festive traditions and Ulbricht’s dedication to exceptional handcrafted design.
