25 Years of Playmobil FunPark Zirndorf – and a Strong Shared History
Last year, the Playmobil FunPark in Zirndorf celebrated its 25th anniversary (opening: May 2000). Even though the official celebrations have already passed, SIK-Holz would like to extend its warm congratulations and continued best wishes.
For us, this place is far more than just a reference project. Since 2004, we have had the privilege of working together with the FunPark team and renowned landscape architecture firms to develop themed worlds, build them, and continuously evolve them over the years. A tangible part of the park’s history bears our craftsmanship.
What once began with treehouse worlds has grown into numerous projects that many families remember fondly: the Western Town, the Ark, construction-themed areas, the Dino Trail, and of course the great sea battle featuring the impressive pirate ship where children can even play “below deck.”
What has always impressed us most is the FunPark’s consistent commitment to thematic authenticity. Initially shaped by Horst Brandstätter and later continued within a new structure—yet always guided by the same mindset: visionary, realistic, reliable, and exceptionally strong in cross-trade collaboration. Such a cooperative and seamless partnership is rare.
Another meaningful connection is our collaboration with the Playmobil Children’s Foundation. There, too, we have worked for years with people who make joint projects a genuine pleasure.
And something that fills us with particular pride as a manufacturer: many of our installations are still standing after decades—rich in detail, individually crafted, and robust enough to withstand daily play by thousands of children, even at peak times. That is a compliment to the park’s maintenance and operations—and a reflection of a strong shared history.
Thank you for the trust, the energy, and the partnership. We look forward to the next chapter at Playmobil FunPark Zirndorf.
