明尼苏达州卢维恩镇日前揭幕了一座创纪录的胡桃夹子纪念碑，名为"爱国者弗恩"1。这座纪念碑高65英尺7.5英寸，加上9英尺基座后总高度超过74英尺，是德国诺伊豪森现有33英尺胡桃夹子高度的近两倍1。
该项目耗资约60万美元，由捐赠和补助金资助1。纪念碑的建立与该镇深厚的胡桃夹子文化密不可分——卢维恩镇拥有超过7554个胡桃夹子收藏品，远超其约5000名居民的数量1。
这一文化标志源于居民贝蒂·曼的个人爱好。曼从2001年开始购置胡桃夹子，并在2016年将2500多个收藏品捐赠给镇历史协会1。纪念碑的建造正是为了利用这些独特的收藏资源吸引游客1。
Luverne, Minnesota has unveiled a towering nutcracker monument that claims the title of world's tallest, standing 65 feet 7.5 inches high with a base that brings the total height to over 74 feet 1. Named "Patriotic Fern," the structure nearly doubles the height of the previous record holder, a 33-foot nutcracker in Neuhausen, Germany 1.
The project cost approximately $600,000 and was funded through donations and grants 1. The monument was created to capitalize on the town's extensive nutcracker collection, which comprises more than 2,500 pieces and exceeds the population of approximately 5,000 residents 1. Katie Walgrave announced the monument's name and exact height 1.
The initiative grew out of resident Betty Mann's passion for collecting nutcrackers, a hobby she began in January 2001 when she purchased her first piece 1. In 2016, Mann donated more than 2,500 nutcrackers from her collection to the town's historical society 1, laying the foundation for what would become this record-breaking attraction.
