Grünhainichen Angel with Bass Drum

The unique figurines from Wendt & Kühn in Grünhainichen tell a fascinating story that first began in 1915. In that year, two graduates of the Royal Saxon School of Applied Art, Grete Wendt (1887-1979) and Margarete Kühn started a company that would end up being world-famous 100 years later. To the present day, the traditional Wendt & Kühn manufactory calls Grünhainichen home and continues the life’s work of Grete Wendt and her friend Olly Wendt, née Sommer (1896-1991).
