FAMILY INFO

It's Christmas 1905

Three year old Mimerle wishes to have a little child, just like the one her mother is loving, pampering and bathing, just like her baby sister.

Her wish comes true. She receives the very first Käthe Kruse doll "Oskar"! Made from a potato, a towel and some warm sand, his lifespan is a little short so Käthe Kruse sits down once again to create more wonderful dolls.

Five years later, Käthe Kruse participates in an exhibit called "Homemade Toys" in Berlin. She becomes an overnight success and revolutionizes the doll industry.

Nearly 100 years have passed since Käthe Kruse started her doll production. The Käthe Kruse Doll has numerous friends, doll-lovers and collectors varying from young to the not so young, all over the world.
