where in Germany can I buy an authentic German Coo Coo clock ?

Your best bet will be to travel to the places where they are made.

That's the region of the black forest.

If you land in Frankfurt that will be not too far away to travel either by train or a rented car and it will give you some nice days the region is really great.

Just take care to ask if it is an original one it is also law that must be signed out on the item.

German Coo Coo Clock

Frankfurt is an energetic and global economic and industry good city with imposing skyline in Germany and is among the places that you need to see, a minumum of one time and this place hotelbye can help you. Frankfurt is just a city in the center of Germany and Europe and is really a city that could provide many facets and contrasting variety. In the center of Frankfurt's Old Town you will find a location effectively valuable, the Römerberg.The Römerberg is definitely an irregularly designed square with the Justice Fountain at their center. Not just can it be Frankfurt's many picturesque public square, oahu is the city's busiest pedestrian region, home to varied tourist attractions from their several Kulturschirn (a kind of open-fronted store once common through the old town) to the Römer, a sophisticated of 11 charming previous structures from the 15th to 18th centuries including the Old Town Hall with its Imperial Hall, when the world of wonderful banquets. Different notable houses include the New Town Hall, the 14th-century Gothic Church of St. Leonhard, and St. Nicholas Church, significant because of its carillon.

I agree with Max here if you want an original Coo Coo Clock you need to go to the Black Forest.

A good place might be Freudenstadt

Also it is a widespread error in North America Coo Coo's come from Switzerland!

They originate only in Germany in the Black Forest region.

Switzerland is famous for its watches but not for Coo Coo's.

I recommend a day trip to Titisee. It is in the heart of the black forrest and you got there one shop to the other that sells original coo coo clocks. I was there with my friends from San Jose CA and they were very happy to buy their clocks their. I attached also a link with some web cams of Titisee so you can imagine how it looks like their. Avoid to go there on weekends since it is overcrowded with tourist of all over the world.

QVC used to sell them.

Yes the Kuckucksuhr really is traditional from the heart of the Black Forest, and guess it's the main industry here.

The traditional manufacturers in that area have joined to a club and created a SEAL that guarantees you that a clock is original. If that seal is on a clock, you can be sure that it's:

- Made in Black Forest

- Contains also only parts that are made in Black Forest

- purely mechanical clockwork, nothing electric inside

I've read elsewhere that they must also be hand-carved ("handgeschnitzt")

See that seal here on the club page:

Funnily, the english wikipedia has a slightly different history than german legends and german wikipedia, but which of them is truer, no idea *g*
