Stephan Vogler and his wife Caroline affectionately call their teddy bears Primeli, Mopsli, Annaregeli, Baschieli, Söfeli, Margritli, Gaudenzli, or Lord James. After 45 years, their collection has grown to 120 stuffed bears and around 300 miniature bears, and it continues to grow. The passionate collectors find many of the bears at flea markets, as gifts, or have been given to them by children to "guard."
