There are so many "Nutcrackers" in Nuremberg that one might get the impression that this fabulous hero of the Nutcracker Tale was born here. The tale was born in Berlin. Hoffmann Ernst Theodore Amadeus, a storyteller, composer, and artist created it. He respected Mozart's work so much, that he changed his name Wilhelm to Amadeus. A nutcracker doll was born in the town of Seifen, where miners who mined tin carved the nutcrackers from wood and strengthened it with tin. These nutcrackers looked like soldiers and were "top-rated" children's toys. So, why is there so much nutcracker in Nuremberg? Because the plot of the tale is Christmas, and Nuremberg is the most festive city in Germany during Christmas time and the biggest Christmas market in Europe is held here.
