Strictly for business reasons we decided to create our own line of Springerle cookie molds.
They are manufactured in Germany and none hazardous or only food safe materials from well known companies and processes which do not pose any health hazards are used.
Springerle cookie molds have a long history. Many of them were carved out of wood, preferable pear wood. Others were made out of clay or even e special wax. Many of the older wooden molds were stained which gives them a very dark appearance. In many cases nobody knows which kind of stain was used in the old days and it seems to be saver to use our replicas for making Springerle cookies.
Our replicas should be treaded with care. They are breakable. But that applies to all available replicas.
We paid for all originals which we copied, but we gladly copy also originals from Museums and customers if they allow us to include their designs in our product line. However, we are still not 100% confident that the silicone rubber which has to be used will not change the color of the original mold.
We will not allow that anybody copies our molds and sells pirated copies from them. However, this does not apply for crafts, such as work using wax, paper maché or actual cookies. If you have any doubts please ask us!

All of our replicas will be equipped with a hanging device which will not become lose and which will also eliminate breakage during rough shipping. At first we used a foldable hanger which was inserted during the curing process into the mold. This caused problems when sanding the rear side of the replicas. All molds with the hanger which are the first two batches are being sold with a discount of 15%.
The newer molds use a grommet which is installed after casting and sanding the replica. Please use a nail with a head and not a hook when you want to hang the molds on a wall.

Most of the characters which we will show in this category are from old German fairy tale stories which were collected by the Grimm Brothers. Variants of these stories spread all over europe.
Some of these stories a violent but they always show that it does not pay off to be a bad person. This educational philosophy is missing in many modern publications.
You can read all the stories on the Internet and decide how to present it to your children if they are still very little.
A very good article can be found at Guardians of the Fairy Tale: The Brothers Grimm published by National Geographic.
My Canadian wife always believed that the characters have been created by Walt Disney and was not aware that they were known in Europe for hundreds of years.
