Gunther, who with his sister, Ines, represents the third generation of this well known firm based in Bavaria and the Erzgebirge.
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.
