Hermann
and Franz Kiesewetter of Germany, it is unclear if there was a relationship
between Franz and Hermann, are they brothers or
is Hermann a son of Franz?
Possibly, but we don't have any conclusive information.

from 1912 to 1914. Franz was a sculptor and Hermann registered in 1926 his only doll mold
