The Liederspielplatz was a children's program on GDR television that was broadcast from 1976 in over 200 episodes in the evening greeting of the Sandman .

Concept of broadcast

The song playground was geared towards the “musical” and “instrumental education” of the young audience. The program was mostly moderated by the singer and composer Siegfried Uhlenbrock . Together with children from the Friedrichshain Music School , he sang songs in the program and played short stories that often used current events as well as everyday situations as a starting point. In addition to Uhlenbrock, the song playground was also moderated from time to time by the singer and actress Angelika Mann and the actor and cabaret artist Gisbert-Peter Terhorst . The slot for the series was Friday Sandman.

Publications

Together with children from the Berlin-Friedrichshain Music School, two long-playing records with children's songs were released in the 1980s. On the first album Siegfried Uhlenbrock acted as singer and presenter, on the second record Gisbert-Peter Terhorst took over this role.

Others

Helga Richter, one of the directors of the Liederspielplatz, was the wife of the composer Wolfgang Richter , whose best-known works include the theme song The Sandman.

The show Gisela und die Fernsehfinken with Gisela Hein is considered to be the predecessor of the Liederspielplatz . Hein worked on the radio before working on television . There she worked with Ilse Obrig , among others , who produced the first musical children's programs for German television in the 1950s .

In September 1988 the new series Ulf and Zwulf was shown for the first time in the Friday Sandman. Since the Liederspielplatz was no longer available and the new series stayed on this broadcasting slot until the beginning of 1989, Ulf and Zwulf were sometimes rejected by the audience. After ten episodes by Ulf and Zwulf , the program switched back to the song playground by the end of 1991.
