Bookbinder Wanninger
Buchbinder Wanninger is a sketch by the Munich comedian Karl Valentin . In the scene, which is also available in a record recording , the bookbinder Wanninger tries in vain to find out by telephone from his client (the construction company Meisel & Compagnie) whether he should enclose the invoice for the books he has completed with the delivery but only connected from one contact person to the other within the commissioning company without receiving the information hoped for.
The last contact person at Meisel & Compagnie is obviously the right target person. However, even she does not give the requested information, because at this very moment a bell rings and the lady only answers: "But please call again tomorrow, we are now closed."
The whole thing ends with the growled statement of the desperate bookbinder “Saubande, mistige!”.
"To feel like Buchbinder Wanninger" is used - especially in southern Germany - as a catchphrase for situations in which offices or companies refer an applicant from employee to employee without ever reaching his actual goal, similar to "from Walk from Pontius to Pilatus ” or the A38 pass .
The sketch Buchbinder Wanninger was made into a twelve-minute short film by Horst Manfred Adloff in 1964 .
