Step into the World of Buddy Erich – Where Nostalgia Meets the Ruhr Valley!

The long history of the manufactory since its founding in 1874 stands for craftsmanship excellence. Each figure, especially Buddy Erich with his special story, represents the tradition of artistic craftsmanship in Thuringia. The use of raw materials from Germany emphasizes not only the quality but also the commitment to local resources.
Buddy Erich is more than just a figurine – he is a symbol of connection to the history and people of the Ruhr region. His cheerful demeanor and reference to the coal mining industry evoke a bygone era, brought back to life through this artistic craftsmanship.
