The most common question we receive voices concern about where Käthe Kruse dolls are manufactured. Are they made in Germany? All of the baby and girl dolls and all of the soft dolls are made in Jelgava, Latvia at a factory owned and operated by Käthe Kruse. The dolls for collectors are made in Donauwörth, Germany, where the Käthe Kruse headquarters is located.
Here are some photos from the factory in Jelgava featuring our skilled doll makers.
