Event Details

120 years ago, President Theodore Roosevelt started to become the namesake of the world-famous Teddy Bear. Hardly anyone knows, though, that the cuddly stuffed animals were invented by an amazing woman from Southern Germany who overcame terrible sickness and incredible challenges and turned her tiny workshop into one of the most recognizable international brands-- and all that in the male dominated world of the 19th century! Join German historian Anette Isaacs as she relates the truly awe-inspiring life of toy maker and business maven Margarete Steiff!
