Kösen

Bad Kosen is a byword for quality toy-making among toy lovers for over 80 years ago.

In recent years, the company has concentrated on the production of soft toys. As it had close ties with the Art College of Burg Giebichenstein in Halle, the toys were designed by artists and designers. Despite this, original ideas and ideals were preserved. Emphasis was still placed on the true-to-life appearance of the animals, quality working and excellent play characteristics of these lovingly hand-crafted products. The Schache family, which has been managing the company since 1992, also feels bound by this tradition. Today, all of the soft toys are still designed and produced in Bad Kosen.
