About Schatzis Imports

Where Global Treasures Meet Family, Heart, and Heritage

Welcome to Schatzis Imports, a family-run shop inspired by the charm of German tradition and the wonder of world cultures. Founded by a proud Bremerhaven native who’s called the U.S. home since 1986, our store is a celebration of meaningful collectibles, cultural beauty, and the joy of sharing it all with the ones we love.

🇩🇪 From Germany to Georgia — and Beyond

Born in the port city of Bremerhaven, Germany, I’ve always carried a deep love for heritage, craftsmanship, and the stories behind the things we cherish. After settling in Richmond Hill, Georgia, raising four wonderful children, and now enjoying the company of grandchildren, I decided to bring my passion to life through Schatzis Imports — a place where culture, family, and creativity come together.

🌍 What We Offer

Our shop features:

  • Collectibles from around the world, including authentic German items
  • Handpicked treasures that reflect global artistry and tradition
  • Pet-inspired gifts and accessories, blending our love for animals with our love for culture

As the proud owner of Schatzis Petsitting, animals are a big part of our lives — and our shop reflects that joy. You’ll find unique pet-themed items alongside cultural collectibles, because we believe every home should celebrate both heritage and heart.

👨👩👧👦 A True Family Affair

Schatzis Imports is powered by family. My daughters and grandchildren are actively involved in marketing, sourcing, and sharing our story. One of my daughters lives in Asheville, North Carolina, and we’re excited to expand our business there — bringing our treasures to even more homes and hearts.

💖 Our Mission

We’re here to:

  • Celebrate global culture through curated collectibles
  • Support small artisans and ethical makers
  • Share our love for pets and family
  • Build a community that values heritage, warmth, and connection

Whether you’re looking for a piece of Germany, a gift with soul, or something that makes your furry friend smile — we’re so glad you found us.

Danke schön and welcome to the Schatzis family!
