Hentschelkind from Meißen: Ulla Biermann surprises at the sale!
In today's episode of "Cash for Rares" on October 28, 2025, the focus was on a very special piece of porcelain: a Meißen figurine, the so-called "Hentschelkind". This valuable heirloom was a rarity that the 75-year-old theater director Ulla Biermann brought with her from Herdecke. Ulla, who had kept the figure in her family for a long time, now wanted to part with it and was hoping for a price of 500 euros.
As berlin-live.de reports, Ulla was surprised to learn that the figure is younger than expected. ZDF expert Bianca Berding found out that the piece had already been produced in 1996. In her opinion, the children's figures are not only appealing, but also versatile. The approximate value was estimated at 400 to 600 euros, meaning that the “Hentschelkind” was ultimately sold for 430 euros.
Meißen – The center of porcelain art
Meissen, known for its porcelain art, plays an important role in German cultural history. There are always rarities that make collectors' hearts beat faster. “Bares for Rares” has presented numerous treasures from this city in the past, and today it became clear that this tradition lives on.
Ulla's story is not only that of a saleswoman with a special piece, but also the sign of a family tradition. The porcelain is often passed down as an heirloom, which plays an important role in many families. The story of the “Hentschel Child” underlines the close connection between art, history and personal heritage.
Ulla's farewell to an heirloom
It certainly wasn't easy for Ulla Biermann to part with her beloved character. But she was aware that it was time to make room for something new. As a theater manager, she has a good sense of art and aesthetics, and it is understandable that she looks back on the sale with both a laughing and a crying eye.
The excitement and knowledge of the piece's value added to the tension of the episode. It was another example of how “Cash for Rares” brings not only material things to the fore, but also emotions and stories.
For anyone interested in art and antiques, a visit to “Bares für Rares” is always an exciting experience. And who knows, maybe next time there will be another Meißen figure that will excite people.
