You've probably seen him before, the Berlin Buddy Bear. There is actually no way around it. The giant sculptures have been standing all over Berlin since 2001, colorfully painted by artists, famous personalities or children. The KPM Buddy Bears are a little more manageable and individually decorated by our porcelain painters - a little ambassador of Berlin for your home or as a souvenir for friends or family.
BUDDY BEARS: THE AMBASSADORS OF BERLIN
The large original sculptures were created by artists Eva and Klaus Herlitz in collaboration with sculptor Roman Strobl. They stand two meters tall and weigh about 50 kilograms. To this day, these bear-shaped symbols are given as gifts to prominent figures, such as Queen Elizabeth II, or are used to welcome distinguished visitors at German embassies around the world.
The Buddy Bears are a tribute to the many faces of the city of Berlin and to the capital's landmark - the famous Berlin Bear - and in this sense also represent the Royal Porcelain Manufactory, which is deeply rooted in Berlin's city history.
Just like their big role models, our little bears are always unique with their own character, because like all our porcelain figurines, each Buddy Bear is painted by hand by our porcelain painters.
Whether as a gift for a loved one or for yourself - the individually designed Buddy Bears bring decorative variety to any home.
