However, the inventions of architect and social reformer Gustav Lilienthal (1849 \u2013 1933), the brother of renowned aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal (1848 \u2013 1896), also played a key role in this. Amongst other things, Gustav Lilienthal used paper and cardboard as materials for building block toys. Corrugated board was joined together using little sticks<sup>1<\/sup>. When he patented his inventions in 1888, his building block toys already contained wooden components, i.e., perforated struts<sup>1<\/sup>. These slats, containing regularly spaced holes for assembly with other component parts, are still used in building block toys today. Subsequently, they could also be seen in the Meccano metal building blocks of British inventor and businessman Frank Hornby (1863 \u2013 1936). Until 1900, images of boys at play increasingly had prominence on the lids of this construction toy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n<block-ticker class=\"block block-ticker\" inline-template>\n\t<div :class=\"{ firstLoaded: firstLoaded,userPaused: userPaused }\">\n\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n\t\t{\n\t\t\t\"images\" : [{\"id\":0,\"width\":978,\"height\":877,\"alt\":\"Dose &bdquo;Meccano&ldquo;

However, this invention made others rich and not Lilienthal. Building block toys of this type only achieved a commercial breakthrough in the hands of Friedrich Adolf Richter (1846 \u2013 1910) and the Keller brothers who were originally employed by Richter (end of the 19th century). They gave their building block toys virtually the same name as Richter but also incorporated their own new features such as the use of metal as a building material. In 1910, Richter bought the by then insolvent Keller factory and employed the brothers again in his own company <sup>1<\/sup>. In 1913, Richter then introduced his own metal toy construction set known as \u201cImperator\u201d<sup>1<\/sup>. Using the anchor as a logo, Richter&#8217;s kits were known as anchor toy construction sets. At the start of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, some of the box lids also featured images of girls at play once again.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n<block-ticker class=\"block block-ticker\" inline-template>\n\t<div :class=\"{ firstLoaded:

For the time being, his slogan would leave no doubt who the product was aimed at: \u201eDer Knaben sch\u00f6nstes Spiel das ist und bleibt stabil\u201c<sup>1<\/sup>. [\u201cThe boy\u2019s greatest toy is built to last\u201d] In the 1930\u2019s, however, Walther also manufactured special building block toys for girls. The slogan from 1938 ran accordingly: \u201cStabil for boys, Stabila for girls\u201d<sup>1<\/sup>. This kit was similar to the one for boys but also contained wool for furnishing dolls houses<sup>1<\/sup>. The woman depicted on the lid was reminiscent of both the renowned aviator Elly Beinhorn\u00a0and also Walther\u2019s own progressive wife<sup>1<\/sup>.

Normal, everyday life in peacetime was therefore reflected on the box lids with motifs such as railways, bridges, carts and cranes. In war times, the building block toys featured other motifs and used different materials. For example, a lack of raw materials meant scrap metal was used to make building block toys. The images on the lid appealed specifically to boys with motifs such as war ships. Johann Korbuly (born 1892), who had taken over his father\u2019s business in 1919, even had to cease production of the \u201cMatador\u201d wooden toy construction sets entirely during World War Two and instead make packaging for the armaments industry. Only after the war did the wooden building blocks, with their distinctive holes for connecting rods, return to children\u2019s playrooms (1).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-8 col-md-offset-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class='ho-button-group' ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-headline has-highlight-color block-no-margin\" >\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-7\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"h4\">From the post-war period to the present day<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-copy block-no-margin\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-7\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Later on in the GDR, building blocks in drums and small crates were available once again for boys and girls equally \u2013 in contrast with the building block toys mostly designed for boys according to traditional gender models in the Federal Republic.

The first building block toys by entrepreneur and wall plug manufacturer Arthur Fischer (1919 &ndash; 2016) was made in 1964 as promotional gifts. In 1965, 1,000 Fischertechnik toy construction sets were manufactured for the campaign &ldquo;Aktion Sorgenkind&rdquo; (now known as &ldquo;Aktion Mensch&rdquo;). A year later, a factory was built in Salzstetten (Black Forest) to manufacture the new modular design blocks. Rapid development ensued. In 1970, instructional construction sets were manufactured for teaching in schools. In the 1980&rsquo;s, computer technology was incorporated into the modular design blocks, followed by building block toys for many scientific disciplines, through to the launch of kits for 3D printers (2016) and robotics (2017).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/block-gallery-moderated>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image-copy  align-left\" data-parallax='{\"child\":\".motion-image\",\"mask\":\".row\",\"full\":{\"y\": [5,-5]}}' id=\"sticky_6a08e60ce47f3\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\" data-parallax='{\"child\":\".row\",\"mask\":\".motion-image\",\"in\":{\"scale\": [1.1,1.1],\"opacity\": [0,0]},\"center\":{\"scale\": [1.1,1],\"opacity\": [0,1],\"ease\":\"sine.out\"},\"out\":{\"opacity\": [1,0]}}'>\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-4 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"padding-bottom-minimal padding-top-minimal copy\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOf course, building block toys continue to be made for girls as well today.
