Räuchermann - Bergmann
This traditional German smoker figurine, or räuchermann, depicts a Bergmann, or miner, with his pickaxe and lantern. Handcrafted in the Erzgebirge region of Germany, this wooden figurine is painted in intricate detail and stands approximately 18 cm tall.
The räuchermann tradition dates back to the 16th century, when people would burn incense in small containers to purify the air in their homes. Over time, these containers evolved into figurines with hollow bodies that could hold incense cones. When the incense is burned, smoke pours out of the figurine's mouth, creating a fragrant and festive atmosphere.
The Bergmann räuchermann is a popular choice for collectors and lovers of traditional German crafts. It is also a great gift idea for anyone who appreciates the unique charm of German Christmas traditions.
Whether you display it on your mantel or use it to add a touch of Bavarian flair to your holiday decor, this Bergmann räuchermann is sure to delight all who see it.
