With my remarks, I would like to give my visitors an insight into the doll culture of the 20th century and give them a memory of their own childhood.

Description

I am looking forward to interesting encounters in Clara's doll museum.

When I gave my plastic doll to a little neighbor girl in my teens, I didn't know that collecting dolls would become my passion.

At some point, I began to mourn the loss of my doll, the "Joggeli", which I had given away. My mother had bought this doll boy for me as a 6-year-old in the village shop and even though it was certainly cheap, my father should not find out, because we were a big family and the money was needed for necessities. Maybe I wanted to have the Joggeli back for exactly this reason. Several years ago I started looking for this doll in second-hand shops, at flea markets and auctions, on the internet and everywhere.

In the 1980s, I began to make the well-known Glorex-Sasha dolls by hand. The visit to the doll museum in Stein am Rhein at that time enchanted me so much that my passion for collecting dolls awoke. Again and again I received dolls from dear people who wanted to know that their treasures were in good hands.

It was the beginning of a collection of over 700 dolls made of different materials (composition/mass, papier-mâché, celluloid, porcelain, wood, vinyl, fabric), doll's prams, doll beds, toys and accessories.

After my collection had grown so large, the desire arose to make all this accessible to a wider public as a doll museum. Also because there is no such thing in the near and far surroundings. Since last year, there has been a small, beautiful extension next to our house, which my husband has expanded and equipped as a doll museum. And my search for a "Joggeli" has recently come to an end. Even though it once belonged to another child, I still see it as my rediscovered doll.

What takes a long time will finally be good - and even better.
