Seiffen, located in the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) region of Saxony, Germany, is a small town internationally known for its traditional wooden toy and craft production. The town's rich cultural heritage is deeply rooted in its mining history, which dates back to the 14th century.
When tin mining declined in the 17th century, the local population turned to wooden toy making and craftsmanship, developing distinctive turning techniques that are still practiced today. Seiffen is particularly famous for its wooden Christmas decorations, nutcrackers, and the unique Schwibbogen (illuminated arch) designs.
The town's architectural landscape features typical mountain craftsmen's houses, and its cultural significance in toy making is preserved and showcased in various museums and workshops. Throughout the year, but especially during the Christmas season, visitors can observe traditional craftspeople at work and learn about the region's distinctive folk art traditions.
