About us

The «FORMFREUD®» brand goes back to Natalie and Matthias Hoegger, who had founded their company N.+M. Hoegger GbR based in Potdam (Germany) in 2011. They started to produce lovely designed wooden toys under the brand name «FORMFREUD – Manufacture of Wooden Toys». Unfortunately Natalie and Matthias stopped all activities in their company in 2015 due to professional and family reasons and so «FORMFREUD» became silent for a few months…

In 2016 Franziska Raeber-Weigel, Roger Raeber and Eva Vogelsanger came together to found the company FORMFREUD GmbH in Winterthur (Switzerland) and to take over the brand «FORMFREUD®» from Natalie and Matthias and so they started the revival of those wonderful wooden toys. Natalie and Matthias are not among the owners of the new company. However, they are still connected to the new company and provide support in developing new toys.
