Hi, I’m Fellchen—that’s my nickname.

One day, while studying art in Munich, I walked into the Künstlerhaus am Stachus. At the entrance, I spotted a sign that read: “Follow the red thread.” So I followed it—and ended up at the Spieldose—Mechanical Puppet and Object Theater. In this small, magical theater, I immersed myself deeply in the world of puppetry for the first time.

In 2024, my red thread led me to the Icelandic puppeteer Bernd Orgonik, with whom I began training as a puppet maker.

And then it happened: One puppet after another moved in with me. From small hand puppets to intricately crafted marionettes—my apartment grew fuller and fuller, and my world became richer and richer with puppets.

Eventually, my puppet roommates and I founded a small theater together: Fellchen’s Figuratorium.

Ever since, I’ve continued to follow my guiding thread—between art, craftsmanship, theater, and the many little creatures waiting to be brought to life.
