Traditional Nutcrackers and Smoking Men It was not until around 1870 (some fifty years after Hoffmann's "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" was written) that the first nutcracker in its now-familiar form was carved by Wilhelm Füchtner (1844-1923) in his Seiffen workshop. In his work as a toymaker, Wilhelm carried on a generations-long family tradition. His ancestors were carpenters who turned to woodcarving in the wintertime to provide for their families. Gotthelf Friedrich Füchtner is recorded as having sold figurines at the Dresdener Striezel Market in 1786. Today, this legacy is continued by Volker Füchtner, the great-great-grandson of Wilhelm and the sixth generation to run the family workshop in Seiffen.
