The Black Forest ("Der Schwarzwald") in southwestern Germany is the household of the Cuckoo Clock (Kuckucksuhr), invented inside the region in the 17th century. The long, harsh winters inside the Schwarzwald in the course of that time meant people spent lengthy hours inside their homes, when they required both something to do to pass the time and an further source of income to supplement their work inside the neighborhood mines. The largely forested region surrounding them inspired them to begin creating wooden crafts. Amongst the goods they produced had been nutcrackers ("Nussknackers"), incense burners ("Smoking Men" or R?ucherm?nner), and clocks that mimicked the cry of the cuckoo bird.
Domenico Martinelli an ordained preist (1669) was the author of a book on elementary clock which bore the title "Horologi Elementari". In this book Domenico advocates making use of the call of the cuckoo to designate the hours. At that time the mechanics of a working cuckoo clock was already known, and any clockmaker who could also ready would realize that it was both practical and advantageous to have the cuckoo sound off the hours. Consequently cuckoo clocks began appearing in areas that had not previously been recognized for their clock making. It would be several additional decades just before Cuckoo Clocks began appearing within the Black Forest.

Inside the Spring the clocks had been then sold by door to door by clock peddlers who carried the Cuckoo Clocks by means of a rack which was carried on their backs. Whole families would work in their cottages making the Cuckoo Clocks and each loved ones member had the expertise of making specific pieces of the clock which was then assembled by yet a further family member.
