Heissner Ceramic

Producing products for human enjoyment and relaxation was the idea of the company founder, August Heissner, as he started producing garden gnomes in Gräfenroda in Thüringen in 1872. August Heissner, who is frequently acclaimed to be the "inventor" of German garden gnomes, founded his company on this basis more than 130 years ago. The company's intention has always been to fashion gardens as a biotope for humans. In the course of over a century this one-time ceramic manufacturer has developed into a modern company operating worldwide.
