In search of the origin of the smoking cones, the path takes us to the Erzgebirge, to the small community of Crottendorf. Initially painstakingly made by hand and offered for sale at markets, the “Original Crottendorfer” has now become a household name that has made the Erzgebirge famous all over the world. A variety of incense cones with a wide variety of scents leave our traditional company today. They spread their pleasant smell especially at Christmas time, but also on various occasions throughout the year. 

The extensive range currently includes more than 40 scents in 5 different sizes of incense cones. Following our tradition, we use the tried and tested recipes of the creative company founder Freya Graupner.

The key to the high quality level of our products is the specialist knowledge that has grown over decades and been passed on from generation to generation. For us, constant product development and innovation are not a contradiction to the tried and tested. We always work on new scent creations with a lot of enthusiasm and commitment in order to constantly expand our range of incense cones and set new trends.

The original Crottendorfer incense cones are made exclusively with natural and nature-identical substances. We only use the highest quality raw materials, which are carefully checked and selected. All incense cones are hand-picked so that only the best quality goes into the boxes. 

In addition, the incense cones are regularly tested by an independent institute and are completely harmless to health even when they burn. This means we can always supply you with incense cones of top quality and with a first-class aroma.

In addition to our over 20 Christmas and 23 all-year-round fragrances, our range now includes an extensive range of smoking utensils and accessories. Incense figures made of wood, metal and ceramic are included, as are gift ideas in high-quality packaging and our annual Advent calendar.

Furthermore, the topic of individualization of products is now part of our core area. We produce costumers’ own boxes, engraved tins and smokehouses in small and large series for specialist retailers and industrial customers.

The “Räucherkerzenland”:

Our place of work, the Erzgebirge, is very close to our hearts. In order to preserve the Erzgebirge tradition and further develop the region, we have created our Räucherkerzenland, an attractive tourist facility for the whole family. Here you can experience tradition, craftsmanship and enjoyment all year round. In our three workshops you can make your own incense cones, just like our founder did over 100 years ago. Our 15m high incense cone houses our museum, which can be visited free of charge, and in Café AnnaBella, guests are treated to perhaps the best coffee in the Erzgebirge as well as individually handcrafted cake creations from our in-house pastry shop.

Our market area invites you to stroll and the adventure playground delights young and old alike.

A visit here is definitely worth it.
