Vollmer the model making specialist.
Trained optician Wolfram Karl Vollmer founded the company Vollmer Modellbau in 1946. Initially, the company produced sheet metal items such as buttons and tie pins. In 1948, Vollmer began producing the first plastic items. A milestone followed in 1949, when Vollmer presented the patented overhead line for model railroads at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. In the years that followed, Vollmer expanded its range to include buildings, bridges and other model railway accessories, initially for the H0 scale and later also for the N and Z scales. From 1995 models were also developed for G gauge and from 2005 for TT gauge .
History of Vollmer
In 1956, Vollmer laid the foundation stone for the new factory building in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. Together with his colleague Wolfgang Keck, he reproduced architecturally striking buildings as true-to-scale model replicas. Vollmer used on-site measurements as well as photos and hand-drawn sketches as a basis, and in September 2014, Vollmer GmbH & Co KG i. L. found a new home under the umbrella of Viessmann Modelltechnik GmbH, similar to its former competitor Kibri. The licenses for the Vollmer® brand were taken over and production was relocated to Hungary and Romania. The 2800 injection molds were transported there.
The wide Vollmer range
The Vollmer brand offers a wide range of building kits in the G, H0, TT, N and Z gauges as well as various building boards for the H0 and N gauges. These include railroad buildings, residential buildings and bridges in a variety of designs. One of the best-known models is the Baden platform in N gauge, which has been reproduced in great detail and is particularly popular with fans of the second railroad era. Other outstanding models are the archive house and the Ditzingen church, both available in H0 and N scale.
Vollmer Bio Series
As a pioneer in the model making industry, Vollmer introduced kits made from biodegradable plastics. Since the takeover by Viessmann Modelltechnik GmbH, these have been continued under the "Bio Series". Another highlight in the range is the stone art series, which includes weatherproof wall and road slabs, tunnel portals, rocks and fountains made from a quartz sand composite material. These slabs create a realistic stone surface and can be flexibly cut to size with a cutter knife or bent by heating, allowing easy adaptation to terrain shapes.
