Political Icons Kohl and Honecker Debut as Christmas Incense Figures

Seiffener Volkskunst introduces new collection featuring former leaders as part of its holiday lineup.

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.
