HUMMELS LIVE

The Goebel Porcelain Factory in Germany stopped making Hummel figurines in October 2008. Now a newly formed company, Manufaktur Rodental GmbH, has bought Goebel's Hummel factory. Production of the popular figurines was to resume last month. Many of the workers at the new company are from Goebel and have the necessary skills.

I am so happy to hear the Hummel figurines will continue to be made. I have been collecting for over 24yrs and have all the Annual plates and over 225 figurines. I have purchased them from collectors, auctions, ebay and private parties. I cannot express how much I enjoy them! Chris in FL

I lived in Germany for 6 years and have about 20 Hummels.
I love them.
