Background

Way back in 1912, even before she founded the company, Grete Wendt sketched a candle-bearing angel. This creation went on to become known as “Angel 28” based on its later catalog number. The aesthetic concept to this early design was to significantly shape the future company’s world of figurines. On 28 November 1914, Grete Wendt sent the angel to her brother Johannes, a soldier on the front during World War I, as a special treat for Christmas.
