In 1935, Franz Goebel's grandson found new designs for porcelain figurines. The famous HUMMEL statuettes spread across Europe. They made Goebel unique and famous for many years under the name "Hummelwerk". In 1971, the Goebel company celebrated its 100th anniversary. The culmination of the centenary celebration was the unveiling of a monument in the form of a Hummel boy figurine
On May 21, 1909, a girl named Berta Hummel was born into the family of businessman Adolf Hummel in the Bavarian town of Massing. From early childhood, Berta was passionate about drawing, and at the age of 12, she was accepted into a school for girls in Simbach, taught by sisters of the Catholic order Englische Fräulein. There, she created her first illustrations for a book by Friedrich W. Webers. Her paintings so amazed the sisters that they sent several copies to a publishing house in Munich specializing in religious art books. The publisher released Berta's works as postcards, which were very popular in those years. In 1934, a collection of Berta's drawings was published
Shortly after, Franz Goebel, the owner of a porcelain factory, saw these postcards in a Munich store. Goebel was just looking for a new artistic line for his factory. He proposed producing porcelain figurines based on Berta's drawings. In 1935, at the Leipzig Trade Fair, the statuettes were a stunning success
Porcelain figurines continued to be produced in Germany until almost the end of 2008
M.I. Hummel signed her works not only with her name but sometimes with an image of a bumblebee—a kind of "coat of arms," a symbol of her surname
