Elephant small trumpeting

Our elephant group has undergone several transformations. Under Margarete Ostheimer, it was designed much simpler and of thinner wood. In the late 1990s, our designer Stephan Zech created a mightier, but, nevertheless, very playful elephant family made of thicker wood. The bull, with its tusks and raised trunk, enjoyed great popularity and was, of course, very decorative.

But sometimes there were tears because, due to the delicate design, tusks or trunks broke off in the heat of play. So Stephan Zech returned to the elephant theme and designed another, more robust group that now meets both our design standards and playability. And recently – due to intense demand – the trumpeting bull elephant has also been re-introduced to the range, even though it is a bit more prone to breakage.
