"A Christmas card from Bill Clinton to say thank you for the design and production of a special Advent calendar with the White House as its motif is among the most important souvenirs from the over 70-year history of Richard Sellmer Verlag. As early as in the 1950s, the German family-run business, founded in 1945, was known in the USA as the “Home of the Advent Calendar”. The US Presidents Nixon and Eisenhower had let themselves be photographed for a charity campaign with the attractive products from Stuttgart, which had been unknown in the United States previously.
Advent calendars are to the pre-Christmas period what the Christmas tree is to Christmas Eve. The publishers Richard Sellmer Verlag supply millions of them every year to more than 30 countries. The curiosity for the daily surprises behind the 24 doors continues even in this age of SMS and the Internet. The product became universally popular in the 1950s, when it became an affordable mass-produced item....Interestingly, the Advent calendar is a relatively young phenomenon - the first copy was produced in 1904. In fact, it buy only became popular in the 1950s. Richard Sellmer Verlag, the only publishing house in Germany to concentrate exclusively on the production of Advent calendars, played a considerable role in this."
