The centre for the manufacture of Ore Mountain folk art lies in the region around the village of Seiffen, which is also known as the Toy Corner (Spielzeugwinkel).
•
One of the largest collections of folk art is at the Ore Mountain Toy Museum in Seiffen.
At the beginning of the 1930s there were attempts in the Seiffen region to create a central industrial exhibition.
;Seiffen (Germany): In Seiffen near the church are two neighbouring sink-holes up to 34 metres deep above the old tin mine that are called the Geyerin and Neuglücker Stockwerkspinge.
Today part of the exhibition at the Ore Mountain Toy Museum in Seiffen is dedicated to the craft of the turners - the Reifendreher - who make these toys.
•
Reifendrehen is a unique type of toy manufacture using wood turning techniques that was developed in the Ore Mountains in the vicinity of the town of Seiffen and continues there to the present day.
The town of Seiffen is particularly noted for its production of Schwibbogen in its craft shops.
Production is concentrated today in the toymaking village of Seiffen and its surrounding area in the middle of the so-called "German Christmas Land" as the Ore Mountains are called.
