They offer props of several types, wood, fiberglass, carbon-fiber... and with adjustable (hydraulic system) pitch.
Yes, they look very nice. If you are interested in a particular type of prop, just click the link, copy and paste the relevant German text here, and I'll translate it for everyone.

Then you know only VW, because Anton Fokker wasn't German but Dutch...
After WW1 he continued to build his planes in Holland.
During the 1920's he also started production in the US for a while.
When I visited the Transportation Museum in Owl's Head, Maine there was an US build Fokker on display.
Working with ex-Fokker employees everyday I can tell that they are proud of being a part of our aviation history to say the least. By times even annoying because everything Boeing is considered to be inferior by them?!
Helix is another German prop maker that might be interesting.
The French DUC is also a good one.
Kind regards,
Willem
