In 1935, Franz Goebel's grandson discovered new images for porcelain figurines. The famous HUMMEL figurines spread across Europe. For many years, they have made Goebel unique and famous through the unmistakable "Hummelwerk" style. In 1971, the Goebel company celebrated its 100th anniversary. The culmination of the centennial celebration was the unveiling of a monument in the form of a Hummel boy figurine.
On May 21, 1909, a girl named Berta (Berta Hummel) was born into the family of merchant Adolf Hummel in the Bavarian town of Massing. From early childhood, Berta was passionately fond of drawing, and at the age of 12 she was admitted to a girls' school in Simbach, where the teachers were sisters of the Catholic order Englische Fraulein. There she created her first illustrations for a book by Friedrich W. Webers. Her paintings so impressed 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 at that time. In 1934, a collection of Berta's drawings was published.
Soon after, Franz Goebel, the owner of a porcelain factory, saw these postcards in one of Munich's shops. Goebel was then searching for a new artistic direction for his factory. He proposed producing porcelain figurines based on Berta's drawings. In 1935, at the Leipzig Trade Fair, the figurines were an overwhelming success.
Porcelain figurines continued to be produced in Germany almost until the end of 2008.
M.I. Hummel signed her works not only with her name, but sometimes also with the image of a bumblebee—a kind of "coat of arms," a symbol of her surname.
