Loriot and Bremen

^ mini

The sofa is reminiscent of the humorist Loriot (1923–2011), also known as Vicco von Bülow.

In 1976, Loriot's clean screen was the first episode of the six-part television series Loriot on Radio Bremen, in which he presented cartoons and acted skits. They became very popular in German-speaking countries and are still regularly repeated on television. The introductions and humorous interludes by Loriot and Evelyn Hamann between the films took place on a green sofa. It was in the House of History in Bonn in 2009 and has been in the foyer of Radio Bremen since 2011.

The pug on the sofa is a reminder that Loriot was a friend and owner of various pugs. He stated unforgotten: "A life without a pug is possible, but pointless."

In Bremen, the humorist was honored in 2013 by Loriotplatz (formerly part of Hillmannplatz ), an area in front of the Grashoff restaurant where he often lingered.
Since 2010 is the Bremen Town Musicians price with an imprint of a Loriot drawing of the Bremen Town Musicians awarded. The typical features of his artistic handwriting can be recognized by the bulbous nose male and the pug.
