Sonneberg

Sonneberg has served as a centre of toy making in southern Thuringia since the 18th century. Set beside the Röthen stream on the edge of the Thuringian Forest, the town became an international hub for the toy trade during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when local manufacturers exported dolls, wooden toys and games around the world. The German Toy Museum documents this defining industry and its lasting influence on the town’s identity.
