Overview

• The Seiffener Volkskunst has expanded its collection of traditional Erzgebirge incense figures to include former DDR leader Erich Honecker and ex-Chancellor Helmut Kohl.
• These new figures are priced at 89.90 euros each, slightly more than the popular Angela Merkel incense figure, which sells for 85.70 euros.
• The company has seen significant success with its political figures, especially Merkel, and hopes to replicate this with the new additions.
• There is notable international interest, particularly from the USA, where German communities and enthusiasts of German culture are prominent customers.
• Despite economic uncertainties, Seiffener Volkskunst reports a stable business outlook, with the holiday season being a crucial period for sales.
