The leaping deer from the range of wooden toys from the Seiffen
region is an international symbol in the gleaming eyes of children
and collectors alike. It was designed by Max Schanz (1895-1953),
who as a teacher and director of the Spielwarenfachschule
[Technical College for Toys] informed the production of toys in the
Erz Mountains. His designs were implemented through the division of
labour in family-oriented cottage industries, achieving the
standards set by the Werkbund [German Work Federation] for
attractive aesthetic and professional production: from small carol
singers to six-meter-high Christmas pyramids, all basic components
were turned on the lathe and thus display the design idiom typical
of Seiffen. Spielzeug Gestalten im Erzgebirge portrays a
significant chapter in German design history, from the late Empire,
through the Weimar Republic and National Socialist rule, to the
early GDR.
