Tin figures to Goethe's Faust
Tin figures are my passion
My name is Dieter Beller.
bellazinnfigur is my brand name as a private publisher of tin figures. My passion for collecting the little figures has lasted for four decades now.
Stories with cultural-historical tin figures
Recently I have started to create my own figures by drawing designs from my ideas and having them engraved and cast. I mainly concentrate on themes from Goethe's Faust. Read more about this in the section NEWS. There you can also find out about current projects with tin figures. For example about the campaign "GORILLAS our friends FOREVER".
With this homepage I would also like to do a little sympathy advertising for the little figures. The GALLERY is more or less a virtual museum. Here I present the most beautiful specimens and series of my extensive collection.
In the area STORIES I tell you history and stories in a different way with cultural-historical tin figures from my collection. In the chapter KNOWLEDGE you can find, if you are ignorant but curious, background and knowledge about the production, the history and the collecting of tin figures. In the menu item LINKS I recommend my favourite, clubs, contributions from friends, projects, picture galleries. You will find my tips on literature and museums and I will introduce you to other publishers of tin figures. At SHOP you can download some selected pictures as well as PDF-files for free and you can also buy my figures.
