Ore Mountain folk art ((ドイツ語:Erzgebirgische Volkskunst)) is a well-known form of highly artistic wood carving from East Germany. Typical creations include Christmas decorations and products such as wooden miners' figures (''Bergmannsfigur''), Christmas angels (''Weihnachtsengel''), ''Reifendrehen'' figures of animals made by wood turning, smoking figures (''Räuchermann''), Christmas mountains (''Weihnachtsberg''e) and Christmas pyramids (''Flügelpyramiden''), as well as candle arches (''Schwibbogen''), nutcrackers, and music boxes. Even today these are made entirely by hand, primarily in small craft businesses. The centre for the manufacture of Ore Mountain folk art lies in the region around the village of Seiffen, which is also known as the Toy Corner (''Spielzeugwinkel''). Here most of the manufacturers have joined Dregeno, the association of woodcarvers, sculptors, wood and toy makers. One of the largest collections of folk art is at the Ore Mountain Toy Museum in Seiffen. In the neighbouring village of Neuhausen is the first nutcracker museum in Europe, which houses more than 5,000 examples, the largest collection of nutcrackers in the world. The logo of the craftsmen is a miner on a rocking horse.
