The History of Anchor Blocks
The History of Anchor Blocks
1840 - Friedrich Froebel, originator of the kindergarten, developed the first building block set made of wood. His theory was that children’s minds would be exercised by relating a three dimensional structure to a two dimensional plan.
1919 - At the end of World War I a small, selected group of German subsidiaries in the United States were not returned to their German owners. These companies were thought of as important for Germany’s “potential to start another war.” The Americans actually considered Anker to be such a company. The reason: Anker Stone Building Blocks were considered to be a critically important factor in the development of the technical skills of Germany's youth. |
