history

The beginning of the history of our company is associated with Kaspar Huggler (1806-1846). He started out as a young carver in the workshop of Christian Fischer (1790 – 1848). Kaspar Huggler in turn taught his craft to his son Johann Huggler (1834–1912). The talented woodcarver Johann Huggler became famous as the king of woodcarving of Brienz. He recognised the talent of his son Hans Huggler (1877–1947), to whom he provided the best education available at the time (Academy of Art in Munich). In 1915 he also designed the first nativty scenes, using „real“ people around him as his inspiration for the holy family, wise men, shepherds etc.
