The tradition of wood carving in Brienz dates back to mid of the 19th century. People in the region were looking for new employment opportunities.

Many woodcarvers where trained in the 'School of Wood Carving, Brienz' which was established in 1884. Around 1900 the woodcarving industry counted ca. 2000 woodcarvers. Brienz woodcarvings were presented on several worlds fairs with great success.
