Diehl Film, otherwise known as Diehl Bros. Film or the Diehl Brothers, was a filmmaking business organized by brothers Ferdinand [de], Hermann [de], and Paul Diehl [de].

Technique

The Diehl brothers were filmmakers in Munich who were known for their stop motion fairy-tale movies and their most famous character, a hedgehog named Mecki. Mecki's popularity in Germany created licensing deals for the filmmakers and the character's success and popularity has been compared to Mickey Mouse.[1]

The work of the brothers has included silhouette, stop motion, and puppet techniques.[1] They made cartoons, "cultural films", and advertisement films as well as television shows.[2] [3]

Hermann Diehl designed and carved puppets for the enterprise.[4] Their studio was in the Gräfelfing neighborhood.[citation needed]
