    The History of HummelFigurines

    Stoking such prices is the fascinating history ofHummelfigurines, which begins with Bavarian nun Berta Hummel in the early 20thcentury. Hummel assumed the name of Sister Maria Innocentia in 1931 when shejoined a Franciscan convent in southern Germany. Having just completed artschool, Hummel dabbled in painting during her early days, depicting the jollylikenesses of rosy-cheeked children in her works. Her fellow sisters encouragedher and even suggested that she sell her work.

    It was through such salesthatHummelseventually arrived on the desk of Franz Goebel, thedirector of a German pottery company. Inspired by Hummel’s endearing designs,Goebel negotiated a collaboration with the Bavarian nun to transform herpaintings into ceramic pieces.

    Goebel Hummel figurines debutedto the public at the 1935 Trade Fair in Leipzig, Germany, and their success wasimmediate. Within months, Goebel’s company had begun work on more than 40additional designs. This rapid ascent, however, was cut short in subsequentyears with the rise of Nazi Germany’s control of Europe. Their forces soonlimited and ultimately ceased Hummel production. They also shuttered theconvent that Hummel called home in 1940.

    Berta Hummel died in 1946following the end of World War II, succumbing to tuberculosis at the young ageof 37. The legacy she had begun, however, would live on. Goebel restartedproduction of Hummel figurines that same year, and soon thereafter, the delightfulcollectibles were back in demand. They became particularly popular amongAmerican troops stationed in Europe, whose export of Hummels back to the UnitedStates as souvenirs for family members fueled early American interest. Goebelworked with immensely talented artists over the years to ensure that thequality and artistry of eachHummel figurinewas exceptional and ofthe same standards as Hummel herself would have expected.
