From Silver Mines to Festive Times: The Enchanting Journey of Christian Ulbricht.

The heritage of Christian Ulbrichtc is a brand synonymous with masterful woodworking and timeless tradition. Rooted in the Ore Mountains, an area historically sustained by silver mining, the Ulbricht family transitioned from mining to wood-carving as the mining industry declined. This shift marked the beginning of a legacy in fine wooden crafts and toys.

Founded in 1928 by Otto Ulbricht in the quaint town of Seiffen, the workshop was renowned for its innovative and high-quality craftsmanship. Otto’s remarkable skill earned him a gold medal at the World Exhibition in Paris for his intricate children's room clock designs and his depiction of the traditional Kurrende singers.

His dedication laid the groundwork for a family tradition of woodworking that has delighted both children and adults for over 90 years.

Post-World War II hardships led the Ulbricht family to relocate to West Germany, where Otto re-established his company in Bavaria. In 1968, leadership passed to his son, Christian Ulbricht, who continued to honor the family’s commitment to excellence. Following the reunification of Germany in 1990, Christian seized the opportunity to reclaim the original family workshop in Seiffen.

Today, Christian Ulbricht stands as a beacon of tradition and innovation, where each piece of art is crafted with passion and precision, embodying the spirit of Christmas. The Ulbricht family and their dedicated team continue to create wooden artworks that capture the joy and essence of the holiday season, making each figurine a cherished part of festive collections worldwide.
