Rudolstadt Doll Museum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rudolstadt Doll Museum is located on the site of the former Anker factory in Rudolstadt ( Thuringia ).

The Rudolstadt Ringler Doll Museum has been located there since August 2015, with the life's work of the doll artist Erika Ringler. Ringler won the Eurodoll seven times in a row. The certificates for this hang out in the museum. She was represented with her dolls at trade fairs at home and abroad. It was particularly popular in America, where dolls are popular. In the 1980s, the demand was so great that Ringler employed up to ten people. Between 1991 and 2001 she achieved sales of 1,000 to 8,000 DM per doll, depending on size and features. The production and sale of her dolls ceased in 2003.

On an exhibition area of ​​more than 200 m² you can see more than 300 up to 95 cm tall handcrafted maple wood dolls, doll prototypes and wooden vehicles made together with their father . Dolls made of wood are a rarity: There are only two other artists in Europe who make wooden dolls. Antiques decorated with dolls are also on display. The collection also includes teddy bears handmade by Ringler . A nativity scene with 75 Oberammergau nativity figures rounds off the exhibition.

Efforts are being made to found a support association for the Ringler Puppet Museum in Rudolstadt in order to buy, renovate and expand the listed building.
