Gienanth dollhouse
The Gienanth dollhouse was manufactured in the 1880s for the daughters of the Gienanth family of industrialists and, with its handcrafted equipment, represents a high point in the development of dollhouse construction .
history
The dollhouse was commissioned by Elise Gienanth (1853–1920), daughter of the industrialist Friedrich Engelhorn (1821–1902), for her three daughters, Ilma, Martha and Hertha. It was created from 1883 to 1885 in several sections that were added annually as a Christmas present . The craftsman was Carl Philipp Lemaire. The doll's house was presented in the family's salon - not in the children's room- So it was also viewed and treated as a collection item, not exclusively as a children's toy and stayed in the parents' house even after the daughters married. Hertha later took over the doll's house. Their marriage was childless and she bequeathed it to a niece. It was restored in 1962/63. The wallpapers come from this time.
The doll's house was exhibited in Haus Isenburg , the local history museum of the town of Eisenberg , from 1978 to 1990 , and has been on display in the Seehaus Forelle restaurant on Eiswoog near Ramsen since 1997 .
