Is it a church or a school? Having a good imagination is a wonderful thing. This simple construction was built with a Heinzelmannchen set.

Here's a construction that breaks my usual trend. This design, like the last one, was inspired by my 3yr old son. He loves trains. This construction was made with a Heinzelmannchen set.

It's been a long time since my last construction. So here's one to get me going again. This model was built using a Heinzelmannchen set. It uses a little more than half the box, and it's simplistic by design.

I've recently had some good block play with my 3yr son, and I found several of my designs to be too complicated for him. I built this with his skill set in mind.

Heinzelmännchen designs as PDF


For those with a Heinzelmannchen set, I created a one page (US letter) PDF of all the Heinzelmannchen designs. You can download the PDF file here, or you can select the PNG image if you prefer.

NOTE: After clicking the PDF link, select option #2 to download the file. You do not need to create an account. The file size is about 2.25Mb in size.

Heinzelmännchen Packing Plan


Putting Anchor Stones into their storage box can be a puzzle. Thankfully, all sets come with a packing plan on the inside lid of each box. Here's an alternative packing plan for the Heinzelmannchen set.

Constructing a building with the Heinzelmannchen set is difficult due to the lack of roof tiles. Therefore one must rely on imagination. This Heinzelmannchen design doesn't use any #21R blocks, so this structure can be built with a Gernegross set.

This school building design started out as a port of the Gernegross g5 design. As you can see, a few extra #21R blocks in the Heinzelmannchen set can make a difference.

This church design is similar to the h5 church design. I was experimenting with other ways to make a cross symbol. It's an interesting embossed effect.

Here's a Heinzelmannchen structure that resembles some sort of building. Building house structures with the Heinzelmannchen is difficult due to the limited number of blocks. In particular, there's never enough roof tiles. In general, the Heinzelmannchen and Gernegross sets are better suited for building arch structures or silhouettes. This is an example showing another possibility.


Here's a view of the back side and some hints.
