Kundi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kundi is a comic figure who was the mascot of the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden for a long time .

history

The figure was created by Richard Hambach in the late 1950s . In a child-friendly way, Kundi in newspapers, DEFA cartoons, picture books and various promotional items conveyed individual hygiene recommendations to generations of children in the GDR . Kundi also appeared in comic strips in the illustrated women's magazine Für Dich . Kundi had a telephone, a control monitor and a magic telescope with which he could look into the children's rooms in order to discover hygiene deficiencies.

At the beginning of the 1990s, the Hygiene Museum Dresden parted with the Kundi character, as they feared negative associations with the practices of the Stasi with regard to the surveillance methods mentioned .
