Wuppers

The founder, Ewald Beiersmann, inherited a doll/puppet factory from his father. One day he was walking downstairs with a dragon and thought it would be fun if it bounced. He talked to his designer, who came up with the idea of adding a spring. That’s how the Wupper was born!  It was named after the German town, Wuppertal, which means valley of the river Wupper.
