On the Heinrichsen Website there is a Information that there will be a place in Nürnberg in the future
where you can pick up ordered Heinrichsen sets.
Maybe it could be useful to contact Heinrichsen before your visit.
Greetings

You´re too late. In the early 90´s there where 3 shops in Nuremberg, Hoffmann, Kebbel and Schiller, who sold Heinrichsen, too.

There are interesting flat museums in Goslar and Leipzig-Dölitz with a lot of dioramas. But they are not so large like the Plassenburg.

The best way to buy flats is to visit the Kulmbacher Zinnfigurenbörse 7.8.-9.8.2015.

The old collectors die, their collections are sold on ebay und the young people are more interested in computers & Co. So there are only a few museum-shops left.   

Best regards

Michael

Gerhard & Michael,


Thank you for this information. It is sad that there are no flats shops & so I must go to the toy museum. I have been to Plassenberg in Kulmbach and the flats dioramas there are excellent. I do not believe that will be so in Nuremberg  :'(


Regards,


Scott

The last shop with flats in Nuremberg (Hoffmann) has closed 2010 .

But there are 3 interesting museums with flats:

1. until 9.8.2015 "175 years Offizin Heinrichsen", only open on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday 14-17 o´clock;
look at www.altstadtfreunde-nuernberg.de .

2.toy museum nuremberg with some old Heinrichsen figures, look at www.museen.nuernberg.de/spielzeugmuseum

3. Germanisches Nationalmuseum Nürnberg with some old Hilpert figures 18. century, look at www.gnm.de

On 19.9.2015 is the VFZ flat exibition in Nürnberg-Langwasser; look at www.vfz-ev.de ; it´s the society of flat collectors
in Nurenberg; you can ask them, too.

Best regards

Michael

You have to call them per phone or send an e-mai.
