euromaxx: The Truth About Germany - Garden Gnomes

This weeks episode of "The Truth about Germany" looks at the German invention and one of the most well known German products Garden gnomes. Garten Gnomes are often found in gardens and used for housing decoration, especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They were originally made from burnt clay but now they are mostly made from plastic. The first Garden gnomes were introduced at the end of the 19th century in Thüringen. The traditional dwarf held a lantern, but today's Gartenzwerge wear cool sunglasses and bathing suites.

I'm German and the truth about me is that, when I was a young boy, I declared WW3 on our neighbours Garden Gnomes and shot them with my brothers airgun.
