Mrs. Kächele & Mrs. Peters

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frau Kächele & Frau Peters is a dialect comedy by Teflon Fonfara that was published between 1986 and 1998 in SDR 3 in over 800 episodes.

history

Conceived primarily as a radio comic, TV spots were also published on Südfunk-Fernsehen. The regular series Frau Kächele & Frau Peters appeared with one or two episodes per week, unusual programs or broadcasts were often supplemented with special editions by Frau Kächele & Frau Peters . Every year in November there was a two-hour Frau Kächele & Frau Peters anniversary broadcast on SDR3 POINT . The series achieved cult status, as the two shrill women were also known as the image bearers of the “Radio for the Wild South”. In 2007 the author brought the idea to the stage as a one-man show. In 2019 the stage performance was expanded, and Teflon Fonfara plays Mrs. Peters and Babs Steinbock plays Mrs. Kächele. The program includes scenes and songs with original texts from the SDR series.

content

The two Stuttgart housewives talk about various topics and it always ends with a dialogue about the yeast plait "with a pile of butter in it" (slogan). The individual radio appearance lasts between 1:40 and 2:30 minutes. The dialogue takes place quickly, the voices are shrill and the sound setting violent to unrealistic, which also shapes the character of the radio play idea. Taboo topics are happily dealt with in exaggerated Swabian humor. In 1986, the year it was created, the "orgasm swing" became known and had to be repeated many times at the request of the audience.

Characters

Ms. Kächele is an open-minded Swabian from Stuttgart-Süd and the inventor of strange or helpful devices and machines for household and cleaning week. Ms. Peters is naive and ignorant, and when trying to use the devices correctly, the sequence and goal of the dramaturgy are given.

In the anniversary broadcast in 1989, a two-hour radio play was broadcast in which the magician Uri Geiler steals the two ladies' anniversary braid. A helicopter chase through parts of the SDR broadcasting area began and ends at the Stuttgart TV tower, where Geiler bent the Stuttgart landmark. Between the parts of the eight-part radio play, pre-produced traffic announcements were played about an increase in traffic due to the events at the TV tower. Since the Stuttgart TV tower was not visible to many on this foggy November evening, thousands of listeners called the police stations and the radio station, which resulted in a special police operation. The next day there was a special broadcast on SDR3. In 1996 the SDR3 organized the tenth anniversary of Frau Kächele & Frau Peters in Stuttgart Central Station . The bakers guild brought together with Stuttgart bakers a 80 meter long plait, which was sold for charity. In 2007, the dialect version of the rock classic Smoke on the Water appeared on the CD for the guitar world record .

author

Teflon Fonfara is the author of the overall idea and all episodes, speaker of all voices, musician and producer of the radio play. In television recordings, he plays both roles himself.

Background and technology

The first episodes up to 1988 were produced with an Emulator II and a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder, later with an 8-track cassette deck. The women's vocal pitches were generated by different analog tape running speeds. The productions took place privately, the SDR3 editorial team was supplied with a finished master on cassette. The first cassette with the first four episodes arrived indirectly at Hans-Peter Archner (then SDR3), who took the radio play into the program, the initially weekly episodes were broadcast on Fridays in SDR 3 POINT until around 1992, after which there was no fixed More broadcast space and every editor in SDR3 could put the current episode in their own program. This often resulted in several issues per week.

In 1994 the series was taken out of the program despite its success, because the author produced the similar series Radio Mokkaschnitte on behalf of the then competing SWF3 . In 1995 Ms. Kächele & Ms. Peters were taken back into the SDR3 program and ran continuously until 1998, when the station ended. After the merger of the channels SDR and SWF, the series was not included in the SWR's program despite fan letters, because the decision-makers in Baden-Baden wanted to part with the image of “Radio for the Wild South”. TV recordings for the series were produced in the Südfunk studio or in the author's apartment. From 1989 there was a Frau Kächele & Frau Peters fan club newspaper with information and comics, which Teflon Fonfara created in full and had it printed on behalf of the Süddeutscher Rundfunk and sent to fans by post.

In 2007 the author designed a stage performance based on the radio idea. He appeared in dialect theaters and cabaret theaters as Mrs. Peters and read and played the Hefezopf skits in a one-man show. In 2019 the program was expanded, and it is played in a duo with Babs Steinbock.
