Björn Köhler Kunsthandwerk

Nativity figures from Björn Köhler

These unique figures, handcrafted from solid wood, are made by a small, family-run company in the Erzgebirge. Björn Köhler takes great pride in his designs that combine traditional workmanship with modern style fundamentals. He has won several awards for his designs, including the "Tradition & Form" award from the Verband Erzgebirgischer Kunsthandwerker und Spielzeughersteller. We also carry Björn Köhler's series of award-winning Santa figures. You can find the full Köhler catalog here.

Günter Reichel Kunstgewerbliche Holzwaren

Nativity figures from Günter Reichel

Earlier this year we received the unexpected news that the firm Günter Reichel, after 34  years of handcrafting delightful guardian angel collectibles and stunning Nativities, closed on June 1, 2023. You can read the final message from Günter Reichel here.

We do have some Reichel Nativity figures left in stock, and they are shown below. Quantities are limited. Once gone, a chapter of Erzgebirge history will be closed.
