History of Schildkröt

Their adventure began in 1896 when the company started manufacturing toys. At that time, high-quality dolls were a luxury item that not everyone could afford and were typically made of porcelain, a very fragile material that was neither safe nor suitable for children.
The innovative idea of its founders to make dolls from celluloid (a completely new material) was a real revolution for the time, allowing for the first time the mass production of dolls for children that were washable, hygienic, and very durable. Their new and robust design gave rise to the brand name “Schildkröt” (turtle in German), which refers to the strength of their bodies that seemed to be made of a turtle shell.
By 1911, the brand had already established itself in the global market, leading to a success story that continues to this day. Their first doll was named Badepuppe and was a water-resistant toy that children could bathe with. Despite the difficult years of the war and post-war period, their legendary models Inge and Hans (1933), Strampelchen (1935), Bärbel (1937), and Christel (1938) became the best-selling dolls in the history of the toy industry within 25 years.
If you have loved this brand and are looking to start a special and unique collection, at Dolls And Dolls you can find numerous models from their Müller-Wichtel doll collection, designed by the renowned German artist Rosemarie Müller. In addition, you can’t miss the brand Mariquita Pérez a brand with similar style dolls made in Spain. You will truly love their dolls and accessories!
