Welcome
to Pumpernickel’s Restaurant |
The area’s only authentic German Restaurant, serving traditional German fare expertly
prepared by our professional staff of classically -trained Chefs.
Pumpernickel's is also the home of the largest cuckoo clock in the United
States.
Carved in the Black Forest of Germany in the early 1960’s, the clock was displayed at
the World’s Fair in New York and spent its first years outdoors at the Wiener Wald
Restaurant in Times Square in the heart of Manhattan.

The
spectacular carving depicts antlered deer atop, as well as rifles and intricately crafted
rabbits, birds and oak leaves. In addition to its size, it is one of the last of its kind,
as recent environmental concerns have prompted restrictions, and today, newly-crafted
clocks display only living animals and prohibit the depiction of weapons.

Hans-Jürgen
Winter, proprietor of Pumpernickel’s, was able to acquire the
elegant and unique timepiece in the early 1990’s, restoring it to its original beauty
and grace.
|
Local
part- year resident and engineer John Simpson spent more then a year designing and
implementing the intricate mechanism, which allows the clock to function.
|
The
10-foot carving has since remained in its present spot, commanding the attention of young
and old alike, and faithfully tolling its tale every quarter- hour.
