The Black Forest ("Der Schwarzwald") in southwestern Germany will be the dwelling of the Cuckoo Clock (Kuckucksuhr), invented in the region in the 17th century. The lengthy, harsh winters in the Schwarzwald throughout that time meant folks spent long hours inside their houses, when they required both something to do to pass the time and an further source of income to supplement their work within the nearby mines. The largely forested location surrounding them inspired them to begin creating wooden crafts. Among the items they produced were 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 using the call of the cuckoo to designate the hours. At that time the mechanics of a working cuckoo clock was already recognized, and any clockmaker who could also ready would understand 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 creating. It would be a number of additional decades before Cuckoo Clocks began appearing within the Black Forest.
