Where It All Started Teddy Bear History > Where it all started... The history of what we know today as the Teddy Bear begins in Germany, in late October 1902, where Richard Steiff, a toy designer working for the family firm in Giengen, in search of ideas for new toys and went to see a touring American circus. Among the performing animals he saw there was a troupe of bears.
Almost over-night America went Teddy Bear crazy and the Michtoms went on to found the Ideal Novelty and Toy Company and make their fortunes. Meanwhile, across the ocean in Germany, Steiff were producing soft toys at their factory in Geingen.
