Info on puppets please?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to identify some puppets I found in my late mother's house. She lived in Germany for many years, so they may possibly be German.
I don't know the age, but I know she had them for a long time.
The faces have a soft feel to them, and are obviously hand painted.There are no labels of any sort.
The heads are hollow and hard inside.
The eyes have small black beads.
Any information would be gratefully received.
