What time of year?
They are usually on sale in Christmas markets. "Any good Christmas market" should have some. Christmas markets run from end of November to Christmas Eve.
Käthe Wohlfahrt is a chain of Christmas shops, where you can get them year round. See here: https://kaethe-wohlfahrt.com/index.php?lang=1&cl=search&searchparam=nutcracker
They don't have a branch in Frankfurt or Baden Baden, but do have one in Heidelberg, between the two:
Käthe Wohlfahrt Heidelberg
Hauptstraße 124
69117 Heidelberg

In Frankfurt you can buy authentic nutcrackers at these 2 stores:

Located on Braubachstrasse right next to the Römer. I have been buying my gifts here for years.
There is another store on the Römerberg too that is connected with the Teddy Paradis store and has a huge teddy bear standing in front of it. I cannot for the life of me remember the name or it. They have lovely wood items in here from the Erzgebirge.
