The everyday equipment with glasses and ceramics is also really well made and has survived the hard life of a soldier well. In general, the range of products is truly sensational and offers unique products from the Roman era for many age groups and requirements, from hardcore legionnaires to little Roman fans of primary school age.

Hello and thank you very much for the great products!

Our students were thrilled with the papyrus coloring pictures and the scarabs. As promised, I am sending you photos of the work with the coloring pictures. I wrote a review for the "scarab" coloring picture, but it can also be added to all the other pictures, since we had different motifs.

The lovingly and authentically designed products from the Römer-Shop have been accompanying me for years and even decades in the field of ancient representation. As a centurion in a Roman military unit until a few years ago, the stationery, from wax tablets to papyrus scrolls, was extremely helpful for high-quality appearances and presentations at museum festivals, in reenactment and in museum education work.

The card is easy to work with and the cardboard is sturdy enough for such projects. Perhaps small cast figures and horses on a plastic base would be a useful addition to the shop, rather than the cardboard pictures. My 12-year-old son had fun making something like that

"Paper, Scissors, Wonder" – when the history of technology becomes foldable

Crafting technology from paper with children | Der Römer Shop

A model on the desk, a thought in history

When Leonardo da Vinci drew his sketches of flying machines, ball bearings, and war devices, they weren't artworks to admire, but functional models in his mind. He thought in parts, in axes, levers, wheels – and documented everything on paper. Centuries later, in 17th century Japan, students began using cardboard-like materials to recreate miniature mechanical worlds: an early cultural asset to cut out, fold, and understand.

Paper modeling became an educational medium: In 18th century Europe, the first pre-printed sheets appeared, allowing the construction of churches, castles, or locomotives in 3D. Not a toy – a window into the world of technology. In times without YouTube, paper sheets were like YouTube tutorials – just more tangible. And whoever folded a cardboard tractor suddenly understood more about power transmission than any theory could explain.

Foldable history – technology in 1:25 scale

Paper models became witnesses of their time – as teaching tools, mental models, and expressions of technical precision. They were included in popular magazines until the 20th century, collected, built, and compared. Every part, every tab had meaning. The model sheets gave generations of tinkerers and the curious a stage – not for play, but for understanding the world in miniature.

Today, every neatly folded wing, every line of glue connects to this long history. The history of technology is not a museum piece – it is rebuilt with every model.

Precision in Cutting – Technology Made Tangible


These cardboard models prove that great ideas don’t need plastic. With clever folding mechanisms, smart design, and historical inspiration, they offer a fascinating combination of education and hands-on fun – completely free from digital distractions.

  • Mechanical functions: rotating rotors and movable parts
  • Noticeable quality: thick cardboard and precisely fitting elements
  • Pre-printed lines: for accurate and clean folding
  • Durable and collectible: more than just a one-time project

A good model speaks louder than words – and stays in memory.

Fold it, explore it, understand it


A train that rolls. A robot that moves. A carousel that spins – all made from cardboard. Those who build with curiosity don’t just understand technology – they experience it. A craft sheet becomes a hands-on machine, turning kids into little inventors.

Simply cut, fold, glue – and a hot air balloon becomes a highlight in the children's room, or a nostalgic carousel becomes a miniature masterpiece. Children learn how technology works in small ways – almost effortlessly. That's how knowledge grows – without feeling like schoolwork.


Understanding technology – simply brilliant.
