Racial history
German dwarfs, large East Frisian seagulls and silver-colored dwarf Italians formed the original lines of this dwarf breed, which was recognized in 1959. The gold-black flake came about through a hen imported from Holland at H. Oncken, Engels, and at Hildebrandt, Cologne through the use of porcelain- colored bantams and black German bantams. In 1983 the gold-blue flock was added, in 1993 the yellow-white flock and 1995 the silver-blue flock.

The body outlines form an elongated square with rounding on all sides. Posture and back line are almost horizontal, the shoulders broad and the wings tightly fitting. The underline is "country chicken-shaped" due to the broad, deep chest and full belly. Highly carried tail plumage, medium-high thighs and legs as well as a medium-sized single comb with a somewhat free-standing flag are further characteristics of this breed. The rear part of the hen's comb is inclined to one side. The ear discs are smooth and white; the eyes of the rooster are red, of the hen they are often brown.
