Fechter Bears – the History

Fechter Is the Best Known of the Austrian Bear Makers

Making Bears From 1930 to 1979

After Ww2

Owned by Wilhelm & Berta Fechter of Neustadt Germany

Berta Learned Her Trade Working at the

Nicol Steiner Factory in 1949

Registered Their Business in a House in Leonhardbach District

First Materials Used Were American Army Blankets & Towels

Then They Used Excellent Quality Mohair

Berta Who Was Such a Hard Worker Made Sure

Everything Was Run Absolutely Perfect

She Would Make Sure Her Employees Were Always Working

to Make Her Bears the Best and Would Often Say

” No Time for Idle Chat “

Anyone Who Worked for Her Would Apprentice for 3 Years in College

to Learn Everything They Could About Bear Making

And Then Apprentice Again at Her Factory..

All Fechter Bears Were Very Expensive to Buy

And They Wouldn’t Sell Them Through Department Stores

Which Made Them Harder to Obtain..

The Bears Were Made With Mohair and Had Open Mouths..

Very Few Had Closed Mouths and Are Rare and Hard to Find Now.

Austrian Buyers Loved the Open Mouths

Uk Buyers Loved the Closed Mouths

1960’s – 1970’s

Major Expansion and the Factory Was Moved

To Wies in 1973.

Wies Is a Town in the District of Deutschlandsberg in Styria in Austria.

From 1973 Fechter Began to Use the Styria Tags.

Sadly Berta Fechter Died and Her Husband Wilhelm Took Over

the Factory Until 1979..

Wilhelm Fechter Passed Away in 1983

And the Contents of the Factory Sold to a Dealer From Usa

As You Can See the History of Fechter Bears Is Very Interesting

And to Actually Own One of These Bears Is a Must Have for Any True Bear Collector
