Last but not least: Pumuckl's birth in the Swiss snow
The idea for the red-haired goblin called Pumuckl was born during the skiing vacations of its inventor Ellis Kaut in Switzerland. Her husband called her a "Pumuckl" after she threw snow at him.
According to SDA, the 88-year-old said on Wednesday in Munich at the presentation of her autobiography that the nickname had become a radio play character at Bavarian Radio, who - just like herself - was small and cheeky.
The Pumuckl stories became famous throughout the German-speaking world after their premiere on the radio in 1962 through books and several TV series. Pumuckl seems to move something that the reader immediately understands. Perhaps that you can laugh, Kaut explained the popularity of her character. The stories of Pumuckl and Meister Eder stand in contrast to today's television program. "Unfortunately, it's very stupid, you can't laugh at it."
