The history of the Hermann Teddy Bears was born in 1913. On October 24, 1913 the two brothers Artur and Max and their sister Adel-heid began with the manufacture of their first Hermann Teddy Bear in a small village called Neufang nestled in the mountains of Thuringia near the town of Sonneberg which was at that time the Toy Capital of the World. In 1920 Max Hermann founded his own Teddy Bear company. He moved to the town Sonneberg, where he developed a renowned name. His Teddy Bears were exported around the globe.
After the WW II Germany was divided into East and West. With the escalation of the cold war and the emerging Communist Regime in East Germany Max Hermann fled from Sonneberg / Thuringia which was located in the East to the West. In Coburg / Bavaria he started anew and continued the old tradition of his Teddy Bears. His son Rolf-G. Hermann is the todays president of this old German Teddy Bear company which is now named HERMANN-Spielwaren GmbH, Coburg.
