About us

Wendt & Kühn has stood for fine German craftsmanship in its most beautiful form since 1915. Company founder Grete Wendt (1887–1979) and designer Olly Wendt, née Sommer, (1896–1991) created a wealth of unique wooden figurines and music boxes. Today, Claudia Baer, née Wendt, and her brother Dr. Florian Wendt guide the destiny of the family company, in its third generation: thinking ahead to the future while at the same time firmly committed to the fundamental traditional values. This includes keeping production faithful to the more than 2500 original samples left by company founder.

In the turnery, a deciduous tree is created from a piece of wood on the lathe.

In the glue shop, the flower of an iris is glued together.

In the gluing workshop, a daisy wreath is glued to a small angel's head.

In the dipping shop, the figures are dipped in white paint. The surplus paint is thrown off.

Experienced hands painstakingly apply fine brushstrokes to each figurine.

One of the last steps is to paint the wings. This gives the Grünhainichen Angel its characteristic eleven white dots.

As a final step in the painting process, the face of the figures is applied with fine brushstrokes.

Before packing, each figurine is labelled with a bottom mark.
