    General Information

    And yet it flies

    The common assumption that bumblebees would not even be able to fly due to the laws of aerodynamics, refutes not only the specimen itself in the air, but was also recently scientifically falsified by an English biomechanist. In contrast to the living model and the usual Kösener model, this bumblebee is equipped with wings made of felt. This does not allow her a more elegant flight, but allows the safe determination of its provenance, since this species exists exclusively in our country.

    The Kösen Toy Manufacture.

    Genuine stuffed animals made in Bad Kösen are collector’s items, but what they are actually made for is life in a nursery. Up to 100 parts are necessary to make a Kösen animal with securely fastened safety eyes and stuffing of non-flammable silicone hollow fibre (in case of the teddy bears and the larger specimen, they also add some plastic granulate for anatomic accuracy). Unlike many other manufacturers, who mostly use materials made in Asia, they stick to plush that comes from weaving mills in Germany, Belgium and France. It has a firmer quality and can thus be sewn more tightly – ultimately the reason for the animals’ durability. Besides, this plush fabric is resistant to hair loss. The Kösen animals are among the finest you can find, not only in craft but also in design. For every model, thorough studies of anatomy and movement are conducted in the animals’ natural environment or at the zoo; blueprints and clay models follow. Thanks to the co-operation with the neighbouring Burg Giebichenstein, a well-known training centre for product design in Germany since the beginning of the 20th century, the Kösen stuffed animals have won several design prizes.
