Gunther, who with his sister, Ines, represents the third generation of this well known firm based in the village of Lauingen in Bavaria and Seiffen in the Erzgebirge of Saxony.
Gunther has inherited great creative ability. Many of the most artistic of the nutcrackers produced today bear his designs. In his private time he is a fine artist, painting both portraits and landscapes.

The tradition of an annual tour bird nutcracker continues in 2019 with a Belted Kingfisher - This special cracking bird, is a limited edition nutcracker and measures 6-7/8 inches. This Kingfisher "Cracking Bird" is available only through select retail dealers in the United States that host a signing event and personal appearance during 2019.
