To celebrate “111 Years of Wendt & Kühn” this year, we have created a special figurine befitting the occasion: the “Angel with Concert Harp,” produced exclusively in 2026. Through its music, the angel seems to remind us that the beauty in our world can be quiet yet powerful, and it embodies what matters deeply to us: Behind the intriguing number 111 – with its “eleven” echoing the worldfamous trademark of the Eleven Dot Angels – lie eleven decades of Wendt & Kühn, shaped by enduring values and the realization that it has taken courage, commitment, and confidence across generations to preserve our unique craft. Turn to page 11 to discover what distinguishes the creation of this figurine and its instrument in our manufactory from that of a “real” concert harp – and what connects the two processes. One of the most surprising pieces of mail ever to arrive at our manufactory in its more than 100-year history was a handwritten Christmas card from the Walt Disney Archives in Burbank. It reached us last December and, seemingly out of nowhere, rekindled a connection that began more than 80 years ago. We followed the trail. Starting on page 14, you can look forward to an interview that is quite literally in-depth. I would also like to share a few thoughts about a project that is particularly close to our hearts. We launched it in 2024, when an Eleven Dot Angel became an ambassador for children’s rights. For the first time, instead of the usual eleven white dots, the angel bears eleven multicolored dots on its green wings, inspired by the World Childhood Foundation’s visual identity. Established by Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden, the Foundation works around the world to protect children’s right to a safe and loving childhood, free from violence – both today and in the future. This year, we are renewing our commitment: for every “Angel with Teddy Bear” sold, four euros once again go directly to the Foundation’s projects. We take a closer look at this project on pages 12/13. I hope you enjoy reading through the 20th issue of the eleven dot post and find plenty of inspiration for your collection, decorations and gifts. Warmly,

Claudia Baer, née Wendt

GIFT IDEA

A Feast for

H E A R T A N D PA L AT E

Did you know that the figurines from our workshops also make delightful gifts for those with a sweet tooth, whether young or old? The Eleven Dot Angels are as familiar with cakes, tartlets, gingerbread and Christmas stollen as they are with harps, violins, trumpets, and flutes – a deliciously heavenly gift idea.

hen the aroma of freshly baked cookies and spiced gingerbread fills the air, there can be no doubt: The holiday season is on its way. As ingredients are stirred, dough is kneaded, and cookies are decorated, the anticipation grows with each step. And the Eleven Dot Angels, too, are always ready for a sweet treat. One proudly presents a gingerbread heart decorated with icing and almonds, while another has loaded its sleigh with perhaps the best-known German Christmas specialty – a traditional Christmas stollen – and is ready to bring joy to someone special.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to give these figurines with a sampling of homemade cookies? Or to accompany the wooden stollen with a real Christmas stollen? A gesture that delights both the heart and the palate. The figurines also make charming messengers for an invitation to a cozy Advent coffee gathering – or a stylish gift for the hosts. Perhaps you would like to give them as thank-you gifts to your parents or grandparents, who patiently baked tray after tray of cookies with you throughout your childhood – always smiling, even amid the greatest kitchen chaos. Make your gift truly personal by including a treasured family recipe or sharing your favorite cookie recipe.

true heavyweight is returning to the collection in 2026: the elephant, designed by Olly Sommer (later Wendt) in 1926. Historical catalog illustrations and samples of a smaller version served as templates for bringing the elephant back into production after 90 years in the design archives. Every detail – from head to toe and from the tip of its trunk to the tip of its tail – had to be scrutinized. Some body parts proved particularly challenging: For the trunk, we had to figure out how to achieve its gentle curve; the slender tusks required a suitable material that would accommodate their slight bend; and for the elephant’s tail, the right solution simply proved elusive at first. One thing is certain: All the effort and puzzling were worth it! The result is a lovable pachyderm, perfect for bringing joy to yourself or others on many different occasions – whether as a strong protector during

difficult times or a levelheaded companion on life’s “expedition.” As a gift for a birth or baptism, it symbolizes the quiet strength that holds families together – for in elephant herds, caring for one another comes first. And with its gentle nature, this pachyderm reminds us anew each day that true strength doesn’t have to be loud.

usic box painting is a distinct area within the painting department. Here, three experienced painters specialize in painting music boxes and selected large figurines. Unlike in the “regular” painting department, the music box bodies and large figurines arrive as unfinished wooden forms because they “skip” the dipping department. Before being painted, they must therefore first be primed and sanded. The often large and comparatively heavy pieces are sometimes placed on turntables so the painters do not have to hold them while working. The painting process even involves the use of XXL brushes and follows a reference sample kept at the workstation. Depending on the model, the painters create graphic or floral motifs as well as daytime or nighttime landscapes. Stencils are sometimes used to mark specific points of the design, helping the painters find their bearings across the broad surfaces. The tiny stars on music box bodies featuring evening sky designs are an exception: They are applied freehand, guided entirely by the painter’s intuition.

CAPTURE MEMORIES FOREVER

In 2025, the Marguerite Angels celebrated their 100th birthday. And even after the anniversary year, the heavenly, featherlight story continues: A medium-sized angel is returning to the collection, standing “a wing’s length” taller than its little Marguerite Angel siblings. It carries a bright yellow star in one hand and a pale blue flower in the other. Olly Sommer (later Wendt) designed this and other medium-sized Marguerite Angels in 1928/29 and the years that followed. We can already reveal this much: Next year, we will bring another angel from this series back to life.

In the hands of the Chronicler, our Gold Edition No– 19, rests a camera in the style of bygone decades. It evokes a time when opening the bellows, adjusting the camera, and holding still before the shutter was released required a great deal of attention and patience. Only after developing the photographs did the results become visible – moments turned into images, preserved for eternity. The new Gold Edition is a charming reminder to consciously focus on the beautiful moments in our often turbulent everyday lives and to preserve what would otherwise fade away – whether captured

on celluloid, stored on a smartphone, or held in the heart. A wonderful gift for passionate amateur and professional photographers, for anyone you hope will experience beautiful photo-worthy moments on their travels, or for all those who shouldn’t lose their “focus.” The nostalgic camera is plated in 24-karat gold. Its finely crafted details make it a dazzling eye-catcher. This edition, with its gold-plated base, is limited – only 22,222 of these angels shall stand by their owners’ side. Imprinted on each figurine’s base, in the accompanying booklet, and on the splinter box is the unique serial number – making each angel a precious one-of-a-kind piece.

AN EGGCITING SURPRISE

Tenderly, the angel’s hands glide across the strings of the concert harp. Since time immemorial, the instrument has been a symbol of harmony. Its melodies speak of longing and quiet dreams. It’s as if the angel wants to remind us through its playing that even that which is quiet can be beautiful and powerful. And so, in the 111th year of our manufactory’s existence, the Jubilee Angel adds a particularly melodious note to the Grünhainichen Angel Orchestra and makes a brilliant appearance – in the truest sense of the word: It has taken a seat on a small, goldcolored bench, and the column and base of its large harp are also accented in gold. The figurine will be produced exclusively in 2026. On page 11 of this magazine, we describe the intricate process involved in its manufacture.

Wendt & Kühn angels bring joy not only at Christmas, but at Easter, too. This year, the Easter Angels are joined by a heavenly messenger peeking cheekily out of an egg. How it got inside is anyone’s guess – but the sight is sure to bring fond smiles. Grete Wendt likely had a twinkle in her eye, too, when she designed it in 1924. Reissued after more than 90 years, the angel now appears in an intricately painted egg, its distinctive red wings adorned with golden dots.

LUCKY CHARM

The four-leaf clover is widely regarded as a symbol of good luck. Now, an Eleven Dot Angel is giving it a “boost” with a flowerpot full of clover leaves. Though measuring only a fraction of an inch (a few millimeters), the delicate leaves are adorned with fine lines. It’s a heavenly messenger for all those occasions in life when you could use – or give away – a little luck, such as starting college or a new job or facing an upcoming exam.

SUMMER DREAM

During the summer months, you’ll find it in flower beds and on balconies: the marigold. In the hands of the newest member of the Blossom Kinder, however, it blooms all year round. With great attention to detail, its densely clustered petals have been faithfully modeled on their natural counterparts. Fifteen gently curved petals are glued to the wooden calyx by our craftswomen. Close to 20 tiny dots hint at additional petals. But it’s not just the flower that impresses. The little girl in her checkered apron is enchanting, too: With every step she takes, her little braids seem to bounce merrily along.

Please note: Our products are available for purchase at your local specialist retailer, in the online shops of selected Wendt & Kühn retailers worldwide, or at the Wendt & Kühn outlets in Grünhainichen and Seiffen, Germany.

THE ART OF KEEPING

OPENING DOORS AND HEARTS

C H R I S T M A S T R E AT S

THINGS SPINNING

We know them as industrious helpers around the house and garden – the Grünhainichen gnomes. Now another is joining their ranks. Candleholder and key in hand, it eagerly leads the way, bringing light into the darkness and opening doors along the way. Like its pointyhatted friends, this charming gnome was designed by Grete Wendt around 1926 – and it delights even a century later. With its candle, it offers guidance in challenging times. And what could be more fitting as a symbolic housewarming gift? After all, it already has the key at the ready. And who knows? Perhaps it might even unlock the heart of someone who receives it as a lovingly chosen present.

With their distinctive pastel-colored dresses and namesake crowns, the Angels Wearing Crowns have long held a special place in the hearts and displays of many enthusiasts and collectors. This year, another large heavenly messenger joins their ranks. Together, the three large angels now form a celestial trio. Like one of its smaller siblings, the new Angel wearing Crown carries a basket filled with apples and all manner of baked treats. Every delicacy is lovingly decorated – as is the gingerbread heart with pink icing in its hand. The angel dates back to before 1937, when it was designed by Olly Wendt (née Sommer). After more than 80 years in Wendt & Kühn’s historic archive of samples, the angel now delights those with a sweet tooth and fans of Christmas décor alike. For now, it brings the reissue of the Angels wearing Crowns to a “crowning” conclusion.

With precise little dabs, the Marguerite Angel adds the final dots to the colorful humming top. Its mischievous smile reveals that it can hardly wait to set the top spinning and listen to its gentle hum. After all, as one of Santa’s little helpers, it has the important job of testing the nostalgic toy before it is given as a Christmas surprise. The new angel is a wonderful reminder never to lose our sense of wonder, while also showing how important it is to find balance in life. A heavenly gift for spinning-top artists young and old who know how to keep things going.

The new Calendar Angel lets flowers do the talking: With colorful blooms in a small flowerpot, it accompanies us throughout the year. Smiling, it perches atop the green frame of the calendar, which features twelve imaginative designs and will brighten any shelf, sideboard, or desk. Blossom Kinder, heavenly messengers, and many other figurines tell stories through lovingly designed images that invite us to smile and dream. The calendar sheets, figurine, and green calendar frame are each available separately. CALENDAR FIGURINE 2027 | CALENDAR SHEETS 2027 FRAME FOR CALENDAR

In the evening, when the lights come on and the scent of fresh evergreen fills the room, the Christmas tree begins to tell its stories. Starting this year, its tales also feature the Little Suspended Angel with Harp and the Eleven Dot Angel with Pan Flute, along with their heavenly melodies. It also has many an anecdote to share about the new angel merrily swinging on its crescent moon. In its hands, the celestial being holds a star and a lantern, which together cast a soft glow over the tree and make its branches shine with festive radiance.

COLLECTION NEW FOR OCTOBER

A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME

“For the trade fair, I have made all sorts of new things – candleholders and figurines, including a pair of parents for the Berry Children,” Grete Wendt wrote in a letter to Olly Sommer, later Wendt, on February 11, 1922. This meticulously detailed pair became known as the Grocer and Groceress. Both appeared in the 1930 catalog in various versions, carrying an assortment of accessories. Now they are once again joining the three Berry Pickers that have a permanent place in our manufactory’s collection. The muted, “earthy” colors of their clothing identify the figurines as humble tradespeople, characterized by hard work and modesty. The woman carries a jug filled with berries – but what lies inside her pouch and heavy basket remains a mystery. The Grocer, by contrast, reveals his wares: on his back, he carries four bolts of fabric and a wooden splint box. A small enamel jug holds a drink for the journey. While the Grocer’s clothing is comparatively plain, the Groceress displays an array of patterns – from polka dots and swirls to the delicate wavy border on her headscarf. Painting the basket is especially exacting: ensuring that the fine checkered pattern extends evenly in every direction across its “rounded” cloth cover requires a keen eye and an exceptionally steady hand. One final design flourish: true to the historic originals, the Grocer and Groceress have distinctive flat arms, a feature characteristic of certain figurines from the early years of the workshops. This detail lends the pair a nostalgic charm.

Last year, a large Marguerite Angel in a ring, complemented by a mouth-blown glass bell, launched a new series within Wendt & Kühn’s range of Christmas tree decorations. In October, just in time for Christmas 2026, we will introduce another set: This time, the angel will hold a gingerbread heart and a Christmas ball ornament. The set also includes a glass

ball ornament from the INGE GLAS® manufactory that matches the angel’s ball ornament – a wonderful combination of two accessories on your Christmas tree. The angel and the glass ball ornament have something else in common: both are masterfully handcrafted with loving attention to detail. While skilled artisans in Grünhainichen turn, glue, and paint the heavenly messenger, experienced glassblowers at INGE GLAS®, a familyowned business in Neustadt near Coburg, Bavaria, Germany, mouth-blow the glass ball ornament with its signature

Star Crown® freehand at the burner and paint it by hand, following a centuriesold tradition. The design of the glass ball ornament – delicate tendrils adorned with gold glitter that make its matte background sparkle – is aptly named “Freudentanz” (“Dance of Joy”). What a fitting name for this heavenly pairing! The angel and the glass ball ornament are always sold as a set. The glass ball ornament is available in two colorways: one in a golden tone and the other in silver-white.

As soon as the first snow falls, a magical time begins for many children – and fittingly, Grete Wendt designed a cheerful group of sledding children. As the group is reissued, a boy is the first to return. Designed by the company’s founder before 1933, he sledded his way through the collection until 1953. After more than 70 years off the slopes in Wendt & Kühn’s historic archive of samples, the figurine will return this October to spread winter cheer once again. Thick boots, mittens, a woolen hat, and a scarf fluttering in the wind keep him warm as he races downhill. To ensure that the boy sits securely and snugly on the sled, his pants are milled “to fit” during production. The jacket’s gracefully shaped “peplum” and the winter boots, with their carefully placed saw cuts, are likewise the result of numerous steps in our workshops. The Boy on Sled makes a delightful gift for sledding enthusiasts young and old – and indeed for anyone who loves the snowy season. And because sledding is even more fun with company, a Girl on Sled will add to the wintertime fun next year.

OF HARPS

Great and Small

An Eleven Dot Angel with a magnificent concert harp provides the musical accompaniment to this year’s “111 Years of Wendt & Kühn” anniversary. In designing and crafting this figurine, we delved into the world of heavenly sounds.

Next, the strings are added: Our Grünhainichen harps have eleven strings, while a “real” concert harp has – admittedly – quite a few more. Its 47 strings are patiently attached to small tuning pins one by one. At Wendt & Kühn, however, we turn the process around: Instead of attaching the strings to the harp, we attach the harp to the strings. To do this, the frame is coated with glue and pressed onto the strings, which are held taut in a special fixture. “What a great idea! We could use that for our harps, too,” remarks the master harp maker with a wink. While steel, nylon, or gut strings produce the heavenly tones of Riedel’s instruments, our Angels make even simple threads sing.

o, how exactly is a ‘real’ concert harp made? During our visit to the Riedel Concert Harp workshop in Pöhla, a small town about an hour’s drive from Grünhainichen, we learned about the subtle and substantial differences between its construction and that of our Angel’s harp. This five-person family business is one of just nine manufacturers worldwide currently producing concert harps. Master harp maker Alexander Riedel is standing at the lathe, turning an ornate column. The components of a harp frame are arranged around him, each pain stakingly shaped before the frame is glued together. Much the same process is used for our Angel’s miniature concert harp: Small decorative elements are glued to either end of a wooden dowel, and the resulting column is then joined to the harp’s D E L I C AT E LY S T R U N G : The harp frame is coated with glue and pressed onto the yarn strings, which are held in place by neck. While our workshop process a special fixture. requires a delicate touch above all else, Alexander Riedel’s work demands considerable physical strength as well, since the wooden boards he works with can be up to 71 inches (1.8 meters) long. Once the frame is finished, the approximately 1,800 components of the double-action pedal mechanism are assembled in the Pöhla workshop. This mechanism enables the harpist to adjust the pitch of the strings by operating the pedals while playing. Our Angel’s harp is different: It requires no pedal mechanism.

In the dipping department, the Wendt & Kühn harps are given their brown color. Once dry, their columns, bases and strings are painted gold. Full-size concert harps, meanwhile, are left with a natural wood finish, painted, or adorned with gold embellishments. The next step in the process – for both small and large harps – is truly magical: The Eleven Dot Angel, which until now has traveled through the various departments of our workshops separately from the instrument, is finally given its harp. This is where the precision of the craftswomen in the gluing department becomes evident: While the Angel’s right hand rests precisely against the strings, its left is poised to pluck them. Alexander Riedel confirms: “For us, too, it is a magical moment when we hand the harp we have been working on for weeks over to its new owners.” One thing is certain: Both the miniature and the full-size instruments are handcrafted with exceptional skill and love. You can see and hear it.

A PROJECT CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS

Side by Side for

CHILDREN’S RIGHTS S U P P O R T I N G T H E W O R L D C H I L D H O O D F O U N D AT I O N

In 2024, Wendt & Kühn supported the work of the World Childhood Foundation for the first time with the Eleven Dot Angel with Candle. The Foundation is committed to helping children around the world grow up in safety, free from sexual exploitation and abuse. This year, the Angel with Candle is joined by a companion – the Angel with Teddy. This heavenly messenger, too, bears multicolored dots on its green wings, symbolizing the diversity of children’s rights.

M W

t is a scene that conveys a sense of safety, harmony, and warmth: The Eleven Dot Angel gently cradles its teddy bear. With its round head, button eyes, and gentle smile, this little bear is simply impossible not to love. To make the teddy bear – which consists of eight tiny pieces – appear cuddly, its back is shaped using a sanding disc. The resulting semicircular “hollow” in the bear’s back allows it to be glued to the angel’s flowing shirt with pinpoint accuracy. This makes the miniature teddy bear appear to lean back in the heavenly messenger’s arms, safe and secure. And there’s something special about the painting of the figurine: It is available in two different color schemes. The angel with blond hair holds a dark teddy bear, while the dark-haired angel holds a light-colored one. This is the second figurine created by Wendt & Kühn in support of the World Childhood Foundation. This Eleven Dot Angel, too, embodies the wish that every child may experience love and care. With this wish in mind, the heavenly messenger with its cuddly friend is both a wonderful gift to celebrate a birth or a child’s birthday as well as a faithful companion throughout family life. And so, in 2026, we once again hope to bring joy and do good together: For every figurine sold, four euros will once again go directly to the Foundation’s projects.

of the rights enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted in 1989. Hubertus Kuelps, Chairman of the Board of World Childhood Foundation Germany, is equally impressed by the visual connection created by the design and the figurine’s powerful appeal: “For me, the symbolism of the dots is incredibly fitting. Anyone who gives a child one of these Childhood Angels is also making a kind of pledge. They are affirming their commitment to children’s rights and promising always to uphold the rights of that particular child.”

Some stories can’t be planned. They simply happen – just as this one did last December. Shortly before Christmas, a letter arrived at our workshops. The address on the back of the envelope read: Walt Disney Archives, Burbank, CA. With great anticipation, we began reading the lines Ed Ovalle had penned by hand. His thoughtful words both surprised and touched us – and we were determined to learn more about the senior archivist at The Walt Disney Company, his work, and filmmaker Walt Disney’s connection to Wendt & Kühn figurines. A conversation about small figurines, profound appreciation, and the joy of collecting.

The office contains a few Wendt & Kühn figures on display […]. They were Christmas gifts from his daughter, Diane. And he liked them so much he placed them where he could see them every day. I was enchanted by the delicate beauty of the Wendt & Kühn figures as I was returning them to his office. Your artisans do magnificent work, and I was thrilled to discover that they’re still handcrafted in Germany, just like the ones in Walt’s office. […] Since Walt’s Wendt & Kühn figurines were Christmas gifts, I thought it only fitting to wish everyone at Wendt & Kühn a very merry Christmas! Frohe Weihnachten, Ed Ovalle.” H A N D W R I T T E N : This letter from Ed Ovalle, senior archivist at the Walt Disney Archives, reached us in December 2025.

These inquiries may relate to animation, live-action films, theme parks, music, or corporate history, and often require access to historical documents and photographs connected to Walt Disney and the company he co-founded with his brother, Roy O. Disney, in 1923. It is difficult to think of another company that draws on its history for inspiration as deeply as The Walt Disney Company. Our collection of internal communications materials documents the past as it unfolded and now provides a unique view of how the company grew from being in a backyard garage into the worldwide enterprise it is today.

deep into our manufactory’s 111-year history each day. Her work draws on more than 4,500 reference samples of figurines from every era of the company’s history, along with archival boxes brimming with photographs, letters, and contracts. In addition, there are portfolios and collections of around 5,800 mostly figurative drawings as well as personal items from the lives of company founder Grete Wendt, designer Olly Wendt, and their families. The objects are examined, sorted, documented, entered into an electronic database, which currently contains more than 17,600 entries, and analyzed by our researcher. This work requires considerable perseverance, care and meticulous attention to detail, often coupled with a detective’s instinct. How does that compare with your work? What does a typical day look like for you?

Although my workday varies, I may spend any given day preparing a historical presentation about Walt Disney’s fascination with aviation, answering reference questions such as the title of Mickey Mouse’s final black-and-white cartoon, proofreading text for a comprehensive book on the history of Donald Duck, or verifying the authenticity of a Walt Disney quotation. Much of my time, however, is devoted to reviewing historical documents, diaries, and thousands of photographs that chronicle the 100-year history of The Walt Disney Company. My primary area of focus is the company’s co-founder, Walt Disney, including thousands of sheets of business correspondence that document the company’s beginnings through Walt’s passing in 1966.

E D O VA L L E : I elected to write my letter of appreciation by hand

rather than by email, because in an era increasingly defined by digital communication, a handwritten note seemed more personal and more fitting as a gesture of respect for the artists who create the traditionally handcrafted Wendt & Kühn figurines. I was sincerely pleased to receive your reply and grateful to learn that my words had been so warmly received by the Wendt & Kühn team. On a related note, as a research archivist, I spend much of each day writing my notes with pencil and paper.

One particularly memorable project involved the Walt Disney Archives research team’s collaboration with the production team for Saving Mr. Banks (2013). We granted the filmmakers access to Walt Disney’s offices so they could photograph the spaces and create detailed drawings for an authentic recreation of the office set used in the film, which depicts how Mary Poppins (1964) made it to the screen. I was especially pleased to see the Wendt & Kühn figurines incorporated into Walt Disney’s office set. As an archivist, historical accuracy is essential, and Wendt & Kühn’s traditional wooden figures were an important part of Walt’s world that needed to be represented for the set to remain faithful to the original. I later learned, through Wendt & Kühn’s customer magazine, eleven dot post, 2014 edition, that the figurines had been provided by your team.

This close-up photo features four Wendt & Kühn figurines (from left to right): the Place Card Holder “Girl with Cowslip,” the “Girl with Sunflower” in a rare paint variation (unembellished flower center), the Place Card Holder “Boy with Snowflake” (flower missing), and the “Girl with Pansy.”

W E N D T & K Ü H N : So that was how you first encountered the

Wendt & Kühn figurines? E D O V A L L E : Yes. My introduction to Walt’s collection of Wendt & Kühn figurines happened in 2014, when the staff of the Walt Disney Archives, along with Disney Studio craftsmen, painstakingly restored Walt’s original offices at The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. My responsibility on the once-ina-lifetime project, as lead archivist, was to oversee the installation of original furniture, books, and artifacts from the master storyteller’s place of work that he occupied from 1940 until his untimely passing in 1966. Exhibited prominently behind Walt’s desk in his formal office are an array of miniature objects. Most of these items are gifts from friends and business associates, and

some were even, as Walt wrote, “mementos which have come to me from my many unknown friends from various parts of the world.” The collection of random pieces includes miniature objects such as chairs, a spinning wheel, ceramic kangaroos, and a couple of glass-blown Disney figures. But interspersed amongst the assortment were several wooden figurines that were all unmistakably crafted by a company that I would come to find out was Wendt & Kühn. Girl with a Plate, feeding a bird from a spoon; Girl with Sunflower; Moving Cart with Two Angels; Music Box “Evening Song”; and others were among the pieces that immediately impressed me with their clean lines, soft colors, and delicate beauty. After reviewing our archival photographs, it is apparent that most, if not all, appear to date from the 1930s through 1940. The photographs also show that, although the figurines relocated from shelf to shelf, they remained behind Walt’s desk for more than 25 years. W E N D T & K Ü H N : The photos show that many of the figurines are in very good condition. The Music Box “Evening Song” looks almost new. Some of the figurines do show signs of wear: occasionally, a petal has broken off, or a flower or twig is missing. The paint has also faded slightly in places. As you may know, our manufactory has a department specializing in the restoration and repair of damaged figurines. There, our experienced artisans restore figurines, whether 10 or 100 years old, so they can shine once again in “new-old” splendor. The colors are mixed with great precision to match that of each favorite piece and preserve its unique charm. Missing parts are recreated to match the figurine perfectly. Hypothetically speaking, would you consider such a restoration, or do you feel the figurines should deliberately be left exactly as they are? E D O VA L L E : You are correct that, considering that most of the

figurines are approaching 85 years old, they remain in respectable condition. Aside from some patina on its hand crank, the Music Box “Evening Song” is, in my opinion, one of the finest pieces in Walt’s collection. My work on the restoration of Walt’s office gave me the opportunity to handle these small wooden figures, and I noticed the signs of wear on the pieces. At first, I was disappointed that they were not in perfect condition. However, after reviewing photographs of Walt in his office over nearly three decades, I can now appreciate their imperfect condition as part of their history. These Wendt & Kühn figurines stood silently behind Walt’s shoulder, bearing witness to the many visitors, colleagues and others who came from near and far, eager to meet Walt. W E N D T & K Ü H N : Yes, those figurines could surely tell quite a few

stories. Speaking of which, what do we know about Walt Disney’s fondness for Wendt & Kühn figurines? Why do you think these particular pieces appealed to him, and what about them fascinated him? And one rather bold question: Might they even have served as inspiration for some of his own characters?

The “Decor Queens”

OF WENDT & KÜHN

With plenty of imagination and creative flair, Wendt & Kühn’s figurines are artfully showcased in the company’s two retail stores in Grünhainichen and Seiffen. Every day, visitors can immerse themselves in a world brimming with magic and charm. An inspiring conversation with Anja Hubatsch (Wendt & Kühn World, Grünhainichen) and Birgit Franz (Wendt & Kühn World of Figures, Seiffen), who bring just as much passion to creating store displays as they do to advising customers.

that moment when I once again pack my little car to the brim with decor materials and pull up in front of the Wendt & Kühn World’s half-timbered building – which, by the way, is quite an amusing spectacle: Since my trunk currently won’t open, I have to crawl all the way to the back of the car, and it’s not uncommon for me to accidentally hit the horn in the process (chuckles). But that’s no big deal, because then my coworkers know right away: Here I come – it’s decorating day. Birgit Franz: For me, the greatest joy is seeing visitors standing enchanted in front of the display cases. Often, there’s a flurry of photo-taking and philosophizing. Or women call their husbands over and immediately instruct their resident DIY experts on which “constructions” they are to recreate at home.

Where do you find the ideas for the displays? Birgit Franz: Most of the time, the ideas come to me in passing, usually when I’m away from the World of Figures – for example, when I’m looking through magazines. I then share them with my colleagues. The florist and designer who help us with the decorations at the World of Figures also contribute their ideas. How do you approach the decorating process? Anja Hubatsch: Most of the time, I don’t have a specific plan. I just get started and let my intuition guide me. Sometimes the result is completely different from what I originally envisioned. Then even I’m surprised by the finished display (laughs). Where do you source the decor items for your displays? Birgit Franz: Many of them can be found at home decor, furniture, and craft stores or online. Others find their way to us quite “by chance” (chuckles). A while back, while we were arranging a fairytale display, a customer stopped by and offered to bring us her old book of fairy tales. It now has a place in the display case, and every time I walk past it, I think of her. There is something very personal in every display, and each has its own little story to tell. Anja Hubatsch: It’s much the same for me. The old sewing box I once used to display the little gnomes belonged to my grandmother. The spools of thread, among which the gnomes sat, had been placed in the compartments by my grandmother herself. Since I also enjoy decorating at home, I have my own collection of decor items to draw from. I’ve also made some great finds in antique shops here in Grünhainichen – like the old skis from our last winter display, which I used to hang our Christmas tree ornaments. I also like using natural materials, such as wood slices, flowers, and pressed leaves. I just snag those from the workshop garden.

Do you have a favorite display? Anja Hubatsch: The winter display with the glass bell and the fairy-tale worlds among the stacked logs, because it’s so easy to recreate. Birgit Franz: The Christmas workshop with the printer’s tray, the hand plane, and the wood shavings. It’s so wonderfully bustling, and there’s always something new to discover.

PERSONAL TIPS FROM THE “DECOR QUEENS”

• S etting the stage: Display the figurines on wooden discs, plates, or miniature trays. • E ye-catching yet protective: Arrange the figurines under glass bells or upside-down wine glasses. • L ess is more: Decor materials that are simple in shape and color allow the figurines to truly shine. • R ight in the center: Place the figurines in a dollhouse, miniature general store, letterpress case, or small drawer. • A rranged by theme: Place Angel Musicians on a sheet of music, the Knitting Lady alongside knitting supplies, or fairy-tale characters on a book of fairy tales. You can find more inspiration in the “Decorating” section on our website, as well as on Instagram and Pinterest (@wendtundkuehn).

What do you enjoy most of all? Anja Hubatsch: The creative process – when an idea comes together piece by piece to form an arrangement. And especially

admiringly. For her husband, who “kicked off” their move to England ten years ago after receiving a job offer, the figurines primarily evoke childhood memories. “I like the figurines that make me smile, such as the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother’s bed or the penguin reading a newspaper.”

After their visit to Grünhainichen, they headed to the Wendt & Kühn World of Figures in Seiffen. They had deliberately planned their itinerary in this order: “First, we wanted to experience where it all began and then browse the figurines in the sales gallery,” Kirsten Wick explains. But they didn’t stop at browsing. “The moment I entered the store, I knew this was going to be tricky,” recalls Kirsten, who is originally from the German state of Saarland. Jörg Wick shoots his wife a mischievous glance. “I had a feeling, too,” he says with a grin. “Here we go again – she’s going to want everything in the store.” When the couple left the World of Figures three hours later, they were a party of four – two figurines would accompany them to England: The Knitting Lady “Princess” and an angel with a candle holder. Kirsten Wick cannot explain why she chose this distinctive angel. The film is available on “I saw it and just knew it was the the YouTube channel one.” The angel now stands beside a “Kirsten & Joerg: photograph of her late mother. 2 Germans in Britain” and is sure to spread It was love at first sight with the Christmas cheer again Knitting Lady, too. The German this year. expat with a penchant for unusual dresses had been smitten from the moment she first noticed the elegantly gowned figurine in the historic Grand Sample Cabinet in Grünhainichen. There was just one catch: “I”m still trying to find the perfect English translation for the figurine’s German name, ‘Knauldame’ – literally ‘Ball-ofYarn Lady,’” says the English studies graduate with a laugh. “And I can’t actually knit either,” she adds playfully. An employee had explained to her that the Knitting Lady owes her German name to a special function: A ball of yarn (Knaul) can be stored beneath her full skirt. The yarn is fed through a small hole to the knitting needles, preventing it from becoming tangled.

or about seven years, the engaging video bloggers behind the YouTube channel “2 Germans in Britain” have been taking viewers along on visits to historic houses in England, Scotland and Wales – always with a keen eye for charming details. For a special Christmas edition, however, they headed back to Germany. In the world-famous toy-making village of Seiffen, they set out to explore German Christmas traditions. Along with Seiffen’s open-air museum and Christmas market, their itinerary included a visit to Wendt & Kühn in Grünhainichen. “To be honest, we hardly knew anything about

the manufactory beforehand,” Kirsten Wick admits, a little sheepishly. But that made the moment they first stepped into the Wendt & Kühn World last November all the more memorable. During a guided tour, the couple immersed themselves in the world of Wendt & Kühn and were fascinated by the company’s history. “I was particularly impressed by the courage of the two women who founded the company,” Kirsten Wick says

The couple returned to England with two new favorite pieces and hours of video footage in their luggage. The result is a 40-minute film that transports viewers to wintry Seiffen and into the world of Wendt & Kühn in Grünhainichen.

e have asked our third-year apprentice Luise Renner: ”How do you actually become a wooden toy maker?“ L U I S E : When I finished school, I wasn’t quite sure which direction I wanted to take. I’d already completed an intern ship with a cabinetmaker and enjoyed working with wood, but I still felt something was missing. I wanted to combine woodworking and art. Even tually, I came across the profession of “wooden toy maker.” During the threeyear apprenticeship, our classroom instruction at vocational school includes subjects such as German and English, as well as technical mathematics, materials processing, machine technology, and AutoCAD. Our practical training takes place right here at the workshop. We spend time in every department – from the wood turning shop through the gluing and dipping shops to the painting shop. Painting is what I enjoy most. With every brushstroke, the figurines become more colorful and detailed. Seeing what I’ve created with my own hands at the end of the day makes me happy. I feel like I’m an important part of the company.

It was a truly special experience to spend the past two Advent seasons working at the Carmel Christkindlmarkt in the U.S. state of Indiana. As part of my apprenticeship, I was selected to demonstrate my craft there. I’ll be returning to Carmel for the third time this year, and afterward, I’ll even be taking part in the Atlanta Christkindl Market. Of course, I’m already really excited and looking forward to all the experiences ahead and the people I’ll meet.

Did you know?

acking our figurines and music boxes for shipping is a bit like dressing gifts: Each one is carefully wrapped in soft, supple tissue paper. But even this step has its challenges: The tension must be just right, so the paper is neither too loose nor too tight. Particular care is needed around delicate or protruding parts. Sometimes wrapping a figurine takes only a few seconds. In other cases, such as with music boxes, the process can take up to eight minutes because parts such as mounted trees are first unscrewed and then individually wrapped. But before it is wrapped, each piece undergoes one final quality inspection. This involves rotating the figurine once around its own axis. Although the dots on the wings of the Eleven Dot Angels aren’t counted individually, our team members would “sense” if one were missing. If the piece passes this critical inspection, a team member affixes the circular base mark to the underside of the figurine. The weather-beaten spruce and the initials “W.u.K.” identify it as a genuine Wendt & Kühn original. And with that, it’s ready to embark on its journey from Grünhainichen to destinations around the globe, including the U.S., Canada, Taiwan and Japan.
