W.(Wilhelmine) Walter KG (Kersa) was founded in 1925 in Lobositz, a small town in Bohemia in the western area of the Czech Republic about 30 miles from Prague. Wilhelmine originally made cloth & soft toys for her children. The Kersa trademark began to be used in 1933 derived from the German phrase that means artistically produced playthings. All teddy bears and soft toys up until 1956 have a little metal Kersa tag. In 1948 Kersa moved to Mendelheim Germany producing teddy bears, dwarves, Easter Rabbits and cats. In 1960 Kersa ceased production of teddy bears and concentrated on making cloth and wooden puppets. Today, Kersa is Germany's leading maker of hand puppets
