The company Heide was founded in 1970 by Heinrich Demetz
and has specialized in the production of Nativity figures over the years.
Uniqueness and highest quality. Our philosophy and primary goal is to preserve the tradition of the nativity scene and to create a new dimension of their representation, which symbolizes the birth and life of Jesus Christ in an expressive and realistic manner.
With our works we want to complement traditional woodcarving and painting with modern processing techniques and create pieces of art that are unique in their type and execution.

It fills us with joy that our new book project has finally become reality. It is now available hot off the press in our online store, in the Heide Museum and in specialized shops.
120 pages filled with impressive pictures, illustrations, quotes and interesting facts about the Original Heide World. Published in German, Italian, English and Spanish, it presents our family business and the five artists and creators of the Heide collections, describes the creative process from the sketch to the carved and finished figure and introduces our Nativity Museum.
Be sure to get a copy, too, and learn our whole story.
We would be delighted if our book also found a place on your bookshelf.
