The toy company Greiner & Hausser Gmbh released a fashion doll line of the same name in 1955, which led Ruth Handler, the co-founder of American toy company Mattel, to launch a similar toyline named Barbie. Mattel acquired the rights to Lilli in 1964, and all the promotional and merchandising activities related to the character were discontinued since then.
