Steiff-Fabrik, Toy factory and museum in Giengen an der Brenz, Germany.
The Steiff-Fabrik features a distinctive glass facade structure built in 1903, with large windows providing natural light throughout the manufacturing spaces.
The factory began operations in 1880 when Margarete Steiff started creating felt toys, leading to the introduction of the first jointed teddy bear in 1902.
The building earned the nickname Jungfrauenaquarium due to its primarily female workforce, reflecting the early 20th-century industrial employment patterns.
The factory includes ramps along the facade, designed to accommodate Margarete Steiff's wheelchair and facilitate the movement of materials between floors.
The East Hall represents one of Germany's first curtain-wall constructions, featuring an innovative metal skeleton structure with fully glazed exterior walls.
