The History of Hummel Figurines Stoking such prices is the fascinating history of Hummel figurines, which begins with Bavarian nun Berta Hummel in the early 20th century. Hummel assumed the name of Sister Maria Innocentia in 1931 when she joined a Franciscan convent in southern Germany. Having just completed art school, Hummel dabbled in painting during her early days, depicting the jolly likenesses of rosy-cheeked children in her works. Her fellow sisters encouraged her and even suggested that she sell her work. It was through such sales that Hummels eventually arrived on the desk of Franz Goebel, the director of a German pottery company. Inspired by Hummel’s endearing designs, Goebel negotiated a collaboration with the Bavarian nun to transform her paintings into ceramic pieces. Goebel Hummel figurines debuted to the public at the 1935 Trade Fair in Leipzig, Germany, and their success was immediate. Within months, Goebel’s company had begun work on more than 40 additional designs. This rapid ascent, however, was cut short in subsequent years with the rise of Nazi Germany’s control of Europe. Their forces soon limited and ultimately ceased Hummel production. They also shuttered the convent that Hummel called home in 1940. Berta Hummel died in 1946 following the end of World War II, succumbing to tuberculosis at the young age of 37. The legacy she had begun, however, would live on. Goebel restarted production of Hummel figurines that same year, and soon thereafter, the delightful collectibles were back in demand. They became particularly popular among American troops stationed in Europe, whose export of Hummels back to the United States as souvenirs for family members fueled early American interest. Goebel worked with immensely talented artists over the years to ensure that the quality and artistry of each Hummel figurine was exceptional and of the same standards as Hummel herself would have expected. “Berta Hummel” was another extension of the Goebel company which had been producing the M.I. Hummel figurines, plates and other items associated with this name beginning in the year 1935. There are some very evident differences between the two. One of these is that the Berta Hummel items are produced in the Far East (ie. – China, Thailand) instead of Germany but it is also under the supervision and scrutiny of the Goebel company. The Berta Hummel is also made of bisque porcelain to reduce costs instead of the preferred porous earthenware which has to be fired in a kiln a number of times (Swanson, 2017).
