I saw these dark-themed Kuckucksuhren (cuckoo clocks)—one of Germany’s most famous souvenirs—in Freiburg, a stronghold of Catholicism.
Close to the well-known Freiburg Cathedral, the
“Rahmenatelier Springmann” manufactures these unique handiwork Kukucksuhren. I’ve seen many variations of cuckoo clocks, but these designs with skulls, guns and bones coupled with strange pictures of animals with hand grenades were a unique twist, and really quite shocking.
