Lotte Sievers-Hahn Nativity Figures
Although her figures have their roots in Erzgebirge, the designs are quite unique within the German folk art tradition. The people and animals in the extensive collection depict her native farming environment with barns typical of the region. Each figure created is an original, carved and painted entirely by hand. As such, they are extremely collectible. All are crafted of limewood, a superior medium for carving. Often used by Renaissance sculptors, this wood's fine, dense grain provides heft to the figures and takes up oil paint exceptionally well.
The Lotte Sievers-Hahn Workshop has been family-run in the town of Brockel since 1929. Its nativities continue to be treasured in families, passed on and collected through generations.
Build your collection, or start a new one
For most of our customers, this delightful collection is a beloved Christmas treasure, added to annually. But it offers a wonderful and unique opportunity to begin a meaningful tradition for a new family or someone you hold dear. Customers who collect with us have given a Holy Family as a wedding gift, the Christ Child to welcome a new baby or an angel on the occasion of his/her Christening or first Christmas. Thereafter, parents, grandparents, godparents and special friends can add through the years to create a cherished heirloom to be enjoyed for generations. To commemorate a special trip, add an elephant, zebra or giraffe after a safari; deer, a bear family or a bunny can memorialize a mountain adventure. There are more than 250 figures to choose from so no two collections will ever be the same!Shop Now
