Das kleine Museum

How it all started ...

It began in 1975 just before Christmas. While searching for an old doll's stove for our little daughter's doll house we found a beautiful stove with water boiler in a junk shop in Freiburg. Although it was much too big for the doll's housekitchen, after some huming and hawing we bought it. This purchase was the beginning of an ardent passion for collection.

Over the years the collection became so extensive, that we decided to set up a small museum. Today the collection extends to more than 50 dollrooms, shops and kitchens from 1830's to 1960's. The bulk of the collection lies within the earlier period to 1950's. Our aim is to strive for authenticity in thepresentation of the objects.



Items from the collection have appeared in various calendars and have also been exhibited in the Palace of Bruchsal, in the city museums of Dresden and Hagen as well as Ulm and Austria so the collection is well known outwith the borders of Baden-Wurttemberg. We are constantly expanding our contacts to other European museums.
