"Die
Welt von Steiff"
- the museum
packed with
experiences and
glimpses behind
the scenes for
the whole family
The story of
Margarete Steiff
GmbH began over
125 years ago.
In 1902
the
legendary Teddy
bear was
invented. Ever
since Steiff
animals and
Teddy bear were
gifted the
famous "Button
in Ear" they
have travelled
the world and
found their way
into the hearts
of children and
adults alike.
Perhaps they
evoke happy
childhood
memories for
some, but for
all they remain
friends for
life.
The wonderful
new "Die Welt
von Steiff"
opened its
doors in
July
2005.
This fascinating
museum is sure
to enthral both
young and old
and provide an
unforgettable
experience.

"Die Welt
von Steiff"
This unique experience
is impossible to describe.
Join us
on a magical adventure.
Enter Margarete Steiff's sewing room.
After a moment of silence, Margarete
Steiff begins to speak. She tells of her
childhood and how everything began, of
how a clothing seamstress became one of
Germany's first businesswomen. She seems
close enough to touch, and even her
tools come alive...
...and then suddenly something very
special happens...
...but of course we don't want to
reveal everything to you just now! You
must simply experience it all for
yourself.
Join Knopf and Frieda in their search
for the missing three thousand bears.
However, be prepared to conquer the deep
blue sea and the coldest artic regions!
It is certainly a fantasy adventure for
the whole family.
"Die Welt von Steiff" also offers a
unique insight into the remarkable
history of the Steiff Company
documenting more than 125 years of the
world's most famous soft toy company.
Large, imaginative display cases
illustrate the lives of Margarete Steiff
and her nephew Richard together with a
wealth of animals and Teddy bears.
Every day our skilled workers
demonstrate how Teddy bears and animals
are made using techniques handed down
from generation to generation of Steiff
craftsmen. You can even purchase a
personalized bear made right before your
eyes! Step down onto the ground floor
and surround yourself in everything
Steiff under one roof in our extensive
Steiff Shop.
After all these experiences, surely
enough time remains to reminisce about
the day's adventures in our "Bistro
Knopf".
An unforgettable experience for the
entire family.
