Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks, German Cuckoo Clocks The story of Cuckoo Clocks: Black Forest cuckoo clocks originated in 1730 in the town of Schoenwald in the Black Forest region of Germany. The first clockmaker of the Black Forest clock was Franz Ketterer in the year 1730. He found a way of making cuckoo bird sounds and incorporated those cuckoo sounds into his clocks. As time passed other clockmakers carved and made cuckoo clocks. Many of these clockmakers traveled by foot during the summer months carrying their newly carved clocks on their backs to sell their clocks throughout Europe. Today, the Black Forest is most well known for their Black Forest cuckoo clocks. These clocks are available in several styles and sizes.
