Munich: How the heirs of the family company Schmidt Spiele are doing – Munich

The ideas of his ancestors pile up at Obletter am Stachus. Christoph Hahne clamps the butt of his e-cigarette to his cargo bike and goes to the oldest toy store in Munich. In the basement, the 58-year-old walks along the shelves filled with colorful game boxes. The curved “S” for Schmidt Spiele, his family’s logo, is emblazoned on some. He looks at her and smiles: “Mensch ärgere dich nicht”, “Kniffel”, “Rummy” and “Spitz pass auf”, all these classics remind him of his parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. Professionally, the Schmidt heir no longer has anything to do with the games industry. 15 years ago, he had to watch as his family business went bankrupt because of wrong decisions.
