When the idea was born in 2016 that everyone should get to know the wonderful history of the Heinzelmännchen von Köln and rediscover the original Cologne Heinzelmännchen for themselves, the opportunity arose to revive the Heinzelmännchen von Köln in collaboration with the artist and illustrator Kerstin Harville-Sollich and Kunstgewerbe Gehlmann.
After a great deal of research into the history, design and production, we succeeded in producing the first generation of our
limited edition collectible figures:
Baker, tailor, butcher, yarn maker, grandma, grandpa, mother with child and the Heinzel with Kölsch barrel
…and who would have thought it, the next generation of the Heinzel family grew up quickly:
Köbes, Schlittschuh und der Dom-Heinzel
…and since Heinzel are very fertile creatures, and Cologne is also home to the carnival, the last to join in 2019 was the:
Prinz, der Teufel und der Heinzel mit Kölsch-Glas dazu!
We had to wait a long time for the new Heinzel to make an appearance! But now there are several of them on the way!
Heinzel Bauer and Heinzel Jungfrau complete the triumvirate!
Heinzel craftsmen, there’s always something to do!
Heinzel couple, in love as ever…
Heinzel on billy goat, always 1st league!
highly coveted, the Heinzel with cathedral/coat of arms and the Heinzel Köbes in the new edition 2024
If you would like to get to know your Heinzel in person, just drop by our stand during the Christmas market season.
We are at our quaint Christmas market stand on the Heumarkt in Cologne from the end of November to the beginning of January.
