Yet their Nuremberg based company once produced toys for children all over the world. Uwe Groll has collected over 2,000 pieces from their range\u2014from miniature roller coasters to elephantpull toys. Displayed in the Freinsheim Toy Museum, the exhibits create a world of metal, furryand childly dreams.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uwe Groll\u2019s favourite piece stands in a display case on the ground floor: Mr. Propellor. Looking rather stiff, almost inconspicuous and rather serious, Mr. Propellor peers through the glass pane studying the visitors. He shares his shelf with a dachshund on wheels and a handful of dolls. \u201cI don\u2019t dare to tell you how much he cost,\u201d says the founder of the Freinsheim Toy Museum, as he takes out the scrawny little fellow in the red uniform and turns the square key that sticks in Mr. Propellor\u2019s chest a few times. Whoosh! The messenger boy on roller skates dashes across the floor. A wind-up mechanism and the propeller on his back hurl him forward. Uwe manages to grab the precious piece before it collides with a chair\u2014just in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"BorlabsCookie _brlbs-cb-youtube\"><div class=\"_brlbs-content-blocker\"> <div class=\"_brlbs-embed _brlbs-video-youtube\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_brlbs-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/borlabs-cookie\/assets\/images\/cb-no-thumbnail.png\" alt=\"YouTube\"> <div class=\"_brlbs-caption\"> <p>Mit dem Laden des Videos akzeptieren Sie die Datenschutzerkl\u00e4rung von YouTube.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Mehr erfahren<\/a><\/p> <p><a class=\"_brlbs-btn _brlbs-icon-play-white\" href=\"#\" data-borlabs-cookie-unblock role=\"button\">Video laden<\/a><\/p> <p><label><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"unblockAll\" value=\"1\" checked> <small>YouTube immer entsperren<\/small><\/label><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><div class=\"borlabs-hide\" data-borlabs-cookie-type=\"content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-id=\"youtube\"><script type=\"text\/template\">PGlmcmFtZSB0aXRsZT0iU3BpZWxlcmlzY2hlIFJlaXNlIGluIGRpZSBWZXJnYW5nZW5oZWl0IiB3aWR0aD0iNTAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjI4MSIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLW5vY29va2llLmNvbS9lbWJlZC9YSWJZTXgyMzJERT9mZWF0dXJlPW9lbWJlZCIgZnJhbWVib3JkZXI9IjAiIGFsbG93PSJhY2NlbGVyb21ldGVyOyBhdXRvcGxheTsgY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlOyBlbmNyeXB0ZWQtbWVkaWE7IGd5cm9zY29wZTsgcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlOyB3ZWItc2hhcmUiIHJlZmVycmVycG9saWN5PSJzdHJpY3Qtb3JpZ2luLXdoZW4tY3Jvc3Mtb3JpZ2luIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4+PC9pZnJhbWU+<\/script><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>Nostalgia ahead!

When Uwe bought it about 100 years later, he paid 7,500 euros. \u201cYou have to be a bit crazy to do this,\u201d he admits. He and his wife Marion opened the toy museum in the Palatinate town of Freinsheim in 2011. Full of nooks and crannies, the small building is used both as an exhibition area for Uwe\u2019s private collection of historical toys and for a cosy caf\u00e9 that Marion runs. It is located in the middle of Freinsheim\u2019s beautiful old town with its numerous baroque buildings. The well-preserved town wall runs adjacent to the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_014-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_014-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_014-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_014-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_014-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_014.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A small museum with a cosy caf\u00e9 in the middle of Freinsheim\u2019s old town.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uwe\u2019s day job is as an environmental consultant. The museum is a hobby he pursues at weekends. Spread over three floors, the museum is crowded with soft toys, dolls, boxes of stone building blocks, board games, books and all kinds of toys made of tin\u2014from pedal-cars to toy trains and miniature mines. In the caf\u00e9 on the ground floor, the Groll\u2019s serve ice cream sundaes and cakes. A teddy bear sits on a ledge and locomotives adorn the shelves even down here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uwe has collected over 2,000 exhibits, all of which are pieces made by the Nuremberg company. He hadn\u2019t known anything about Bing until he discovered a red wind-up locomotive at a flea market in 1996. He liked it immediately\u2014but 380 marks? \u201cIt was when I first heard a long lecture on Bing,\u201d he recalls. \u201cI now give lectures myself.\u201d Their content can be summarised like this: The brothers Ignaz and Adolf Bing took over their father\u2019s\u00a0 company in 1864. 40 years later, a haberdashery had transformed into the largest toy manufacturer in the world (by their own account). Bing also produced household goods. The Jewish entrepreneurs did so until the global economic crisis, the complicated company structure and the upcoming National Socialism precipitated their undoing. In 1932 they finally had to close down. Hardly anyone knows their name today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Die Spielsachen waren nie Phantasie, sondern immer von der Erwachsenenwelt inspiriert<\/p><cite><strong>Uwe Groll<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the company came quite close to achieving its goal of \u201csupplying all household goods and toy shops in the world from a single source,\u201d Uwe explains. To achieve this, the Bings were not fussy. They copied Margarethe Steiff\u2019s teddy bears including the ear button and advertised their own products with the words \u201cimitation of K\u00e4the Kruse dolls,\u201d for example. This brought the company several court cases. But the strategy worked. While the company initially produced mainly luxury toys, its goods were later to be found in every department store. When it came to toys, Bing was actually a full-range supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_063.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_063-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_063-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_063-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_063-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_063-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_063.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The red locomotive that Uwe once discovered at a flea market was finally given to him as a present by his wife. Surrounded by numerous other railways, it is now exhibited on the first floor of the museum. Another toy Uwe is particularly proud of is the Paris Metro that makes its rounds in the middle of the room\u2014a unique piece that was probably displayed in the shop window of a department store in Paris at the beginning of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. The three carriages can be driven by a crank dynamo and then they whirl around the Eiffel Tower\u2014an idea the collector came up with. \u201cOperating it, children learn that a railway needs electricity.\u201d The steam engine driven models that welcome visitors right at the museum entrance are also best experienced in action. The scenes illustrated there show everyday life as it was over 100 years ago: The cobbler mends shoes, the tailor sews while his journeyman does the ironing. The steam engine moves the tin figures bringing them to life. \u201cIt\u2019s like a miniature open-air museum,\u201d Uwe says watching the smith hammering away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_092.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_092-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_092-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_092-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_092-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_092-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_092.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Everyday life over 100 years ago: captured in little scenes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the Bing toys can be set in motion by steam, electricity or a clockwork motor. However, Uwe can demonstrate only a small part of these wonderous objects in the museum. That\u2019s why he invites people to the Von-Busch-Hof location once a year, always in autumn, for a museum festival. It smells of spirit there and the steam engines whistle. Some 600 of the 4,000 guests that the toy museum used to welcome every year before the global coronavirus pandemic hit were coming particularly for this event, among them many other collectors. Uwe enjoys it most when grandparents come with their grandchildren: \u201cThe little ones ask whatever they have in mind, and grandma and grandpa can really offer something! That\u2019s great fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_033.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_033-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_033-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_033-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_033-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_033-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_033.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Paris Metro makes its rounds in the middle of the room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The toy museum has become famous internationally. One day, the descendants of the Bing brothers came across Uwe\u2019s museum. The granddaughter of the company founder visited the house five years ago. As a 17-year-old, she had escaped on a Kindertransport to England (where she lived until her death). They both had tears in their eyes when she told the collector amidst the Bing toys that she felt reconciled with Germany on her visit to the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_080.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_080-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Uwe Groll recreates the world of the Bing company in the Freinsheim Toy Museum - an exhibits of metal, furry and childly dreams.\" class=\"wp-image-33129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_080-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_080-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_080-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_080-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_080.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Uwe wants that his museum preserves the memory of the Bing brothers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSince then, I feel the historical mission even more,\u201d says Uwe, who wants to preserve the memory of the Bing brothers\u2014not least because this doesn\u2019t take place in their hometown of Nuremberg. For him, the exhibits are a window into the past and testify to how much everything technical excited people at the beginning of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. \u201cThe toys themselves were never fanciful inventions, but rather inspired by the world of the adults,\u201d like the miniature suspension railway, the magic lantern or the (functioning) miniature iron and cooker for mother dolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_054.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_054-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_054-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_054-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_054-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_054-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spielzeugmuseum_054.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Die Wuppertaler Schwebebahn im Miniaturformat \u2013 inklusive Zirkuselefant Tuffi, der 1950 aus der schwebenden Bahn sprang.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dangerous? Sure, but quite typical back then. \u201cThe steam engines were heated with spirit,\u201d Uwe recalls. When he started one up for the first time, he was quite nervous. \u201cI was afraid of burning myself or that the boiler would explode. But this fear subsides the more you understand the technology.\u201d The Bing company even sold X-ray tubes. Uwe would love to have one for his collection. He just wouldn\u2019t demonstrate this special piece then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spielzeugmuseum-freinsheim.de\/en\/\">www.spielzeugmuseum-freinsheim.de\/en<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uwe Groll hat mit dem Spielzeugmuseum Freinsheim eine Welt voller Blech, Pl\u00fcsch und Kindertr\u00e4ume geschaffen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1490],"tags":[122,207,1070,1893,1906,1907,1908,1909,1910],"class_list":["post-33905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-history","tag-metropolregion-rhein-neckar-en","tag-wo-sonst-en","tag-christian-buck-en","tag-theresa-horbach-en","tag-freinsheim-en","tag-bing-en","tag-spielzeug-en","tag-spielzeugmuseum-en","tag-uwe-groll-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
