Meister Eder und seine Pumuckl is a German children's television series from 1982 and 1988, based on Ellis Kaut's eponymous series . The childlike goblin Pumuckl , a descendant of the Klabauter men , became visible to the Munich master carpenter Franz Eder because he stuck to his glue pot. According to the “Koboldsgesetz”, Pumuckl now has to stay with this person.

The series is a combination of real and animated films, in which an animated film character was inserted into a real filmed environment with actors. Gustl Bayrhammer plays Meister Eder and Hans Clarin speaks Pumuckl. The director is Ulrich König . The animated animation of the Pumuckl comes from the Pannonia film studios in Budapest. The first broadcast of the first season was on September 24, 1982 on First German Television . The second season followed from October 6, 1988.

Summary of the plot

The master carpenter Franz Eder wonders about strange events in his workshop: things keep disappearing or falling down. Finally, a childlike, red-haired goblin named Pumuckl, about the size of a beer bottle, appears. This is invisible to people, except for Eder, because it stuck to his glue pot. Pumuckl declares that he will have to stay with him now, because that is "Kobolds' law". Eder tells his friends about it in the pub, but they think he is confused and laugh at him: He should go back to the workshop, because everything will be back to normal there. When Eder returns, it actually seems that way. When a clientele comes, the goblin shops start up again and it turns out that Pumuckl is actually there, but has forgotten about the glue pot. He is only visible to Meister Eder when no one else is watching. Eder now knows that he did not dream with open eyes. He also likes the funny Pumuckl, who now lives in the workshop, more and more. However, it remains difficult for both of them: Eder's friends will not believe him the Kobold in the future either and the ghost Pumuckl is vulnerable in a visible state and has needs like a human.

Facade painting based on a scene from The Great Crash

Pumuckl also makes himself clearly noticeable as an invisible person, which leads to strange, embarrassing, but also entertaining scenes. Sometimes customers want to take Pumuckl's belongings with them, as in the episode The Bed Sold . He defends his property, but steals things that he likes from other people. That is why Master Eder even throws him out in the episode The Great Crash . On his forays he gets into trouble again and again when he disregards Eder's advice and prohibitions or gets stuck or stuck on something and thus becomes visible. If he were to be seen by a stranger, he would have to stay with him. Although as a childish goblin he has mostly nonsense in his head, he is also capable of sensible things, for example when he helps Master Eder, who is invisible, and thereby either gets him jobs or enables him to take revenge, as in The New Bathroom , The First April and The Sailing Boat . During a hike, he points out an impending storm, a skill he has inherited from Klabautern, and then persuades the unreasonable nephew of Eders to turn back in time ( The Mountain Tour ). Most of the episodes are cheerful, but the few rather gloomy stories also end in a conciliatory way, such as The Great Crash and Its Consequences , when Master Eder Pumuckl resumes after being thrown out, or The Playing with Fire , when Pumuckl ignites the kitchen out of ignorance , but after that repentance shows what Eder accepts.

characters

Besides the two main characters Meister Eder and his goblin Pumuckl (voiced by Hans Clarin ) occur more often: Eder's horoscope believing maid Eichinger , played by Erni Singerl , the locksmith Bernbacher , the best friend Eder, played by Willy Harlander and the caretaker Mr. Stürtzlinger played by Werner Zeussel . A special case is Der alte Wimmer , an antique dealer from whom Eder often receives orders. He never appears in person. Occasionally Eder speaks to him on the phone or he is mentioned in conversations.

A detailed list can be found under the section Figures in the main article Meister Eder und seine Pumuckl .

History of the series

Originally, producer Manfred Korytowski wanted director Ulrich König to film Ellis Kauts Schlupp vom Grüne Stern in 1977 . However, König said: "The only thing you have to do with Ellis Kaut is Pumuckl." Ellis Kaut had already had several offers for film adaptations, but insisted on a mixture of real film and animation that was laborious to produce, since "Pumuckl absolutely needs the real in order to make the unreal comprehensible." where Walt Disney sat daydreaming behind his desk. This scene was filmed in real life, but suddenly “[…] his characters began to dance as drawn (dreamed) figures on and above his desk. It was like magic. ”The previous offers, on the other hand, all boiled down to either pure cartoons or real films with electronic effects. At a Berlin radio exhibition where Ellis Kaut and Hans Clarin , the voice of Pumuckl, were invited to an honor, Korytowsky spoke to them and agreed to produce this hybrid form of real and cartoon films. So he got the rights.

From 1979 onwards, one-minute Pumuckl sketches were produced for Bayerische Rundfunkwerbung (first broadcast in 1981). These short films began as a pre-test for series production and, as they were successful, continued to be produced until 1982. Like the series episodes, they are a combination of real film and animation. Further planned short films were no longer implemented because the child character was no longer to be used in the context of general television advertising.

Gustl Bayrhammer had previously spoken to Meister Eder in radio plays after his predecessor Alfred Pongratz died of a heart attack in October 1977.

production

Work began in 1978 with the writing of the scripts for the first season and was completed in 1988 with the completion of the second season. Each season was divided into two blocks of 13 episodes. The real film shooting took nine months twice. The real films had already been cut before the animation work began and provided with a preliminary Pumuckl voice. A puppet marked the planned locations and movements of the cartoon character. The part of Pumuckl was spoken by director Ulrich König on the set and was thus a dialogue partner for Bayrhammer, even before the dubbing by Hans Clarin. The factual trick, i.e. the animation of objects that Pumuckl lifts, throws down or moves in any other way, was carried out by Esteban Zajtai (now Esteban Kleist) and, at least in parts of the second season, by Stephan Schultze-Jena . These were tungsten wires used because these thinner than a single film grain were and are therefore no longer be seen on the recording (or in the finished film). The responsible cameraman in both seasons was Horst Schier . The animation was done by the Pannonia film studios in Budapest with up to 150 animation workers under the direction of Béla Ternovszky . For this purpose, colored foils with the Pumuckl figure had to be placed over each individual real film image and re-exposed together.

Most of Kaut's stories have been changed, be it because of improvising while shooting or because of modern pedagogical considerations: König did not want Pumuckl to be constantly imprisoned as a punishment. Due to the elaborate production method, the series was about three times as expensive as it was then usual for such projects. It was important for Ulrich König to also incorporate adult humor in order to win over the children's parents. The series is deliberately designed to be timeless. Therefore, there is little traffic to be seen, and many modern objects are missing.

The role of Meister Eder is designed as a calm antipole to the lively Pumuckl. Ulrich König said in an interview that he thought of Albert Schweitzer as a role model for Eder's character . In the first season, Bayerhammer's beard and hair were dyed zinc white to make him look older and more grandfathered. In order for the dialogues between him and Pumuckl to appear credible, Bayrhammer oriented himself towards mothers and grandmothers who iron or cook, talk to children at the same time and only occasionally turn to them. He also only occasionally looked at the places that Pumuckl's location was named for him, because: "... if you look into space for a long time, there is a risk that your view will also become empty."

Many well-known German actors such as Willy Harlander , Ilse Neubauer , Christine Neubauer , Erni Singerl , Toni Berger , Wolfgang Völz or Helga Feddersen had recurring appearances in the series. The one-time guest appearances were for a children's series with names like Lisa Fitz , Gisela Uhlen , Helmut Fischer , Barbara Valentin , Gaby Dohm , Klaus Schwarzkopf , Georg Thomalla , Wilfried Klaus , Barbara Rudnik , Iris Berben , Fredl Fesl , Karl Dall , Beatrice Richter and Rolf Zacher has an extraordinarily prominent cast.

The title song Hurra, hurra, der Pumuckl ist da was composed and written by Fritz Muschler with the assistance of Howard Carpendale , Joachim Horn-Bernges and Ulrich König . The rest of the film music also comes from Muschler.

Of the 90 radio play episodes originally broadcast on the radio, 52 were filmed.

Dubbing

Some of the actors, including the children, were no longer available for dubbing and had to be spoken to by others. Rosl Mayr died at the end of June 1981 and only spoke to herself in the episode The First April , in two other episodes her voice was doubled by Anton Feichtner . Gustl Bayrhammer and Hans Clarin often improvised when the lip movements of their characters are not in the picture. This applies most noticeably to the credits, in which, invisible to the audience, Meister Eder and Pumuckl continue to talk.

Locations

Cable bridge with the Church of St. Luke

The recordings took place at various locations, mainly in Munich. Meister Eder's workshop was located in a rear building at Widenmayerstraße 2 in Lehel, which was specially prepared for the shooting and then demolished in 1985 after the real film shooting for Das Spiel mit dem Feuer , in which the kitchen burned out. The street shots in front of the house were shot in front of Tattenbachstraße 16 in Lehel because the traffic was not as high here as in Widenmayerstraße . The exterior shots of the economy of Master Eder's regulars' table were shot in front of the restaurant “Zum Huterer” in Grütznerstrasse in Haidhausen , the interior shots in the Kandler guest house in Oberbiberg , Oberhaching municipality. The toy shop featured in some episodes was on Johannisplatz in Haidhausen, today there is another shop in the house. The school building in the first season was filmed in Mühlbaurstrasse in Bogenhausen . The pedestrian walkway on which Meister Eder meets the countess's butler in the episode The Enigmatic Dog is the cable walkway over the Kleine Isar . At the end of the scene, the Church of St. Luke can be seen in the background. Pumuckl im Zoo was filmed in Hellabrunn Zoo .

The cover picture in the opening credits of the two seasons shows a city panorama dominated by towers: From left to right you can see the All Saints Church , the "Old Peter" , the old town hall , the new town hall and the Frauenkirche . A chimney on the left edge of the picture hides the Church of the Holy Spirit . This is followed by the episode title in both seasons with a shot of the Church of St. Luke. In the second season, a different perspective from the roof of the main building of the DPMA was chosen. This is followed by another view of the city center, also from the roof of the DPMA building.

In addition to the tavern scenes in the Kandler Inn, some episodes were also filmed outside of Munich: The main location in Das Schlossgespenst is Isareck Castle near Wang , the exterior shots for Das Segelboot were made on Lake Starnberg near Ammerland Castle and for Die Bergtour, among other things, at the valley station of the Wendelsteinbahn and in near Bayrischzell . The chapel in Die Bergtour belongs to the Berggasthof Rosengasse am Sudelfeld . Filming locations for the double episode Pumuckl Makes Holidays and The Spirit of Water included Darching train station , Bergstrasse in Oberdarching and a farm in Fischbachau west of the Wendelstein massif.

Pumuckl hears this, also becomes disrespectful and plays the drums on old tin cans: He wants to make noise and doesn't need anything else, including food. So Eder leaves him alone and goes to the tavern. Meanwhile, Pumuckl is annoyed by Charlotte's flute playing in the courtyard and hides the instrument. Charlotte's mother first suspects Eder, but he wasn't in the house and couldn't have been. The mother apologizes and Eder promises the girl to look for the flute if the harassment stops. Immediately afterwards he found her and had a big row on his part: he made up with Pumuckl and “made music” with him, since you can make noise if you don't disturb each other.

This unexpected disappearance and reappearance leads to a fight among the boys. In the end, Mr. Schwertfeger surprises them and tells them to hand in the knife as a lost property to the police.

Pumuckl is looking forward to a wooden box that was intended as a gift for customers and joy, but is left over. Now it should be his. Soon, however, Bernbacher appears who should get one of them and has forgotten about Eder. Eder can just prevent him from taking Pumuckl's box with him. When the electric stove breaks down, caretaker Stürzlinger repairs it. He also wants the box for it, but is also put off until later. Finally, Mr. Preisslkofer comes, who wants another box because otherwise his two grandchildren would argue about it. When Eder tells him that his last box has already been promised to another child, Preisslkofer offers to swap old toys from his cellar for the box. Pumuckl goes into this. Immediately afterwards, a postman rings the bell, returning an undeliverable package: one of the boxes that have been sent. Pumuckl now unexpectedly gets both and does not have to do without anything. Georg Thomalla as Mr. Preisslkofer and Hans Stadlbauer as the postman

Now, of all times, the machine that he needs to cut the boards fails. At the same time, Pumuckl annoys him with silly remarks and actions. When Pumuckl finally gives him peace, he is instead insulted and suspected by Master Eder until he wants to emigrate.

40 2.14 Difficult customer January 7, 1989 A customer, the tax advisor Schladerer, complains about Eder's work for no reason and constantly demands changes.

41 2.15 The bloody thumb January 14, 1989 Pumuckl is angry because Master Eder has scattered the space in front of the front door, because in front of it there was a nice, icy slide for him and the children. Eder says that one of his customers could break his leg, which Pumuckl refuses to believe. Soon afterwards, Pumuckl pokes his thumb bloody and gets a bandage. This almost becomes his undoing when he illegally goes outside anyway, because the bandage is visible and the children think he is a white mouse that they want to catch. Pumuckl struggles to get back to the workshop. Max sober
42 2.16 Pumuckl and the headache pills January 21, 1989 Master Eder is in bed with the flu and asks Pumuckl to bring a note to Frau Eichinger so that she can get him pills. However, Pumuckl only gets the message to the correct address on the second attempt. Eder also got a call from worried Ms. Hartl. This leads to the fact that finally several neighbors come to Eder with tablets and everyone insists that he take the tablets too. Finally Pumuckl also eats a few tablets, gets tired and falls asleep. Monika Baumgartner as Bärbel's mother, Daniela König as Bärbel and Michael Tregor as a student
43 2.17 A hit for the newspaper January 28, 1989 Mr. Schenk, who is interested in (and stuttering) in parapsychological phenomena, happens to find out about Master Eder's Kobold in the tavern. Eder doesn't want to know about it and tries to get rid of Schenk as quickly as possible. However, he does not give up and informs the press. Soon after, Eder receives a visit from a young journalist. Getting rid of this becomes quite tedious for him, since Pumuckl desperately wants to get into the newspaper.

44 2.18 Pumuckl answers the phone 4th February 1989 Master Eder has promised Pumuckl a visit to the zoo the next day. But nothing comes of that, because Eder receives an attractive order for a study from Professor Bergmaier at short notice and therefore has to take measurements on site. Pumuckl doesn't want to know anything about a postponement because, as he says, he can only look forward to tomorrow and not the day after tomorrow. In the end, he tries to cancel the appointment himself over the phone, but only comes across random conversation partners because he cannot read any digits and thinks it would be enough to dial any number. Finally Bergmaier called and Pumuckl actually canceled in a very unfriendly tone. When Eder finds out about this, he is furious that Pumuckl probably pissed off the good customer. After Bergmeier, to whom the whole thing seems strange, calls a second time, he first talks to Pumuckl again, who apologizes meekly. Touched by the supposed child, Bergmeier is soothed and Eder keeps his job.

45 2.19 Pumuckl wants to become a carpenter February 11, 1989 Pumuckl wants to become a carpenter in order not to be bored anymore, so Master Eder shows him how to drive nails. When the customer Windlechner arrives immediately afterwards, Pumuckl retreats into the kitchen and drives nails into the table. Pumuckl's actions and Meister Eder's reactions are so obvious that Windlechner notices everything and reacts confused. Eder is supposed to examine a piece of furniture in the customer's apartment, but since he doesn't want to leave Pumuckl unattended, he takes him with him. When he arrives at the apartment, he asks for a screwdriver to dismantle a secretary's desk. Windlechner brings a Swiss knife . Pumuckl is so fascinated by this that he repeatedly slips it into Eder's coat pocket, which embarrasses him. Then he takes it with him himself. Back in the workshop, Master Eder tells him to bring the knife back immediately. Ms. Windlechner, who doesn't believe that Eder is haunted, begins to make fun of her husband while playing Scrabble . While both are arguing about a nonsensical word, Pumuckl comes in and so she sees the Swiss knife floating through the air. Iris Berben as Mrs. Windlechner and Horst Sachtleben as Mr. Windlechner
46 2.20 The silver cone February 18, 1989 Eder has been invited to a bowling competition, but doesn't want Pumuckl to help him because that would be dishonest. Pumuckl really sticks to it at first, but Eder, who unexpectedly wins, still suspects him. Embittered by this injustice, Pumuckl finally follows him (since he had not closed the skylight) and this time helps him. Master Eder, who this time says that Pumuckl did not follow him, is very happy about the victory, but when Pumuckl accidentally quotes a saying that Eder said after his victory, he knows that Pumuckl was there after all, and is disappointed, and gives while admitting that he wrongly suspected Pumuckl at first, Pumuckl also says that he didn't make it any better by actually doing it. Egon Biscan , Christine Neubauer as landlady and Hans Stadtmüller as Mr. Schwertfeger
47 2.21 Playing with fire February 25, 1989 Master Eder forbids Pumuckl to play with fire in the workshop, as it could burn down, and instead sends him to the kitchen. From this Pumuckl draws the fatal conclusion that only the workshop, but not the kitchen, could burn down. When Eder visits a customer, Pumuckl is playing with matches at the kitchen table. Since he does not know important connections, the whole kitchen is on fire: He thinks the fire is a kind of living being and tries to put it out with high-proof alcohol, because, as he thinks, alcohol kills everything. When Eder returns, the fire brigade is on site and the fire is immediately extinguished. First and foremost, he worries about Pumuckl and is then satisfied, although he would like to throw him out of the apartment due to disappointment and anger, which would not work due to the Koboldsgesetz, with his promise never to touch matches again.

48 2.22 Pumuckl wants a watch March 4th 1989 Pumuckl sees a watch at a customer and immediately wants one himself. To make Pumuckl happy, Eder shows him the displays of watch shops. Finally Pumuckl sets off alone and is locked into a large music box due to his carelessness. He makes a row, but since he is invisible, any look-up remains without result.

First he gets a rebuff, but finally Eder gives in and buys him one. The huge toy for Pumuckl doesn't bring him any luck: first it drifts on the Isar and when he then swims with it in a tub in the workshop, it falls into the water. Annoyed by this, he wants the duck to go into hiding as well. Finally he gets a fork and stabs her with it as a punishment. When Eder returns, Pumuckl tries to blame the ruined duck on two boys who happened to be in the workshop. When Eder finds out, he angrily hits the vat, which then falls over and floods the workshop. Pumuckl, impressed by this, says that even in his “whole goblin life” he has never managed such a “mess”. Eder now laughs at his mishap and Pumuckl gets away with it without penalty.

52 2.26 Pumuckl and the music April 1, 1989 The choral society meets in the Eders apartment and Pumuckl is allowed to be there. First he disturbs the singing with his wrong singing and then he steals Mr. Schwertfeger's harmonica. Eder persuades him to give her back. Finally, he tells the group that has come into the workshop that Pumuckl offers his harmonica to his goblin and sword sweeper if he plays on it. Nothing happens for now, but after the rest of the people have gone back upstairs, Schwertfeger comes back and repeats his offer. When Pumuckl agrees, Schwertfeger is shocked.

Broadcasts and publications

From September 24, 1982 the first German television broadcast the first season, the second season followed from October 6, 1988. The ORF showed the first season from February 13, 1983 and the second, in which he was involved as a co-producer, from December 28, 1988.

The television series was initially shown in 28 countries.

For a long time only the first season was available in stores. Director Ulrich König said in an interview in 2017 that this was due to Gustl Bayrhammer, who had not consented to the release of the second season. After the contracts between Infafilm and BR / ARD expired in 2012 , the series was also no longer shown on television. Only after all episodes were restored in March 2019 and re-scanned in HD on Amazon Prime , the series has also been available in full on DVD and Blu-ray since November 2019. The title opening credits of the episodes now refer to the original draft of the Pumuckl figure by Barbara von Johnson - which was not the case in the original TV version. In March 2020, Bayerischer Rundfunk began broadcasting again.

Running gags

  • In many episodes, Meister Eder bumps his head on the hanging lamp in the workshop or in the kitchen.
  • The regulars' table brothers from Eder often have problems remembering the name Pumuckl . When the Kobold is discussed again at the regulars' table, names such as: Pudackl, Kartoffelmuckl, Dupuckl, Putzmuckl, Schmutzduckl, Krummbuckl or Holznuckl emerge.
  • Master Eder has a bad name memory. For almost every customer, the name occurs to him only after a short pause for thought, if at all ("Grüß Gott Frau ..., um ..."). This gag is often expanded ("Grüß Gott Frau ..., um ..., Reinicke! Come on reinicke, woman ..., um ...").
  • Pumuckl has found an exit from the workshop that Eder does not know. Every time he sneaks out, he pushes down the solvent canisters in front of it. Although Eder always picks them up, he can't figure out how Pumuckl got out of the workshop.
  • Next to the door there is a stack of wooden slats which, if the slightest thing occurs, falls over and locks the door.
  • The antique dealer Wimmer is mentioned in many episodes, but he is never seen.
  • In many episodes a sleeping elderly gentleman is woken up by a waitress in the inn with the words: "Grandpa, your soup is getting cold." Platz "), even if he has long since got up. In one episode he even says this even though he is sitting alone at the table.
  • Pumuckl always says goodbye with " Bye ", which does not suit Master Eder - this farewell is still not very popular in Bavaria today - and he immediately corrects it to "Paths" or " Servus ".
  • Pumuckl constantly describes any color as wrong, but always mentions the complementary color . This is his reaction when he discovers Bernbacher's red cards: “Ui, there is something green”, he once noticed with horror that his hands are full of “orange” (or blue) paint and he describes a purple Easter egg as yellow. A special variant can be found in episode 27, when he first describes his gray toy car as red, then as green - when mixed together, like all complementary colors, the two colors result in a shade of gray.
  • Pumuckl can't count very far and is constantly inventing fantasy numbers. So he claims z. B. he is "three hundred and twenty-twelve years old".
  • While Ms. Eichinger's superstition only appears in a single episode in the radio plays ( The Superstitious Cleaning Lady), Ms. Eichinger welcomes Eder practically every time in the series by commenting on some current event - for example, her broken arm - astrologically.
  • Again and again, the various incidents from Pumuckl or any other person are commented on with "Da do something with!".
  • Pumuckl likes to brag about what a great seafarer he is, but when he comes into contact with water he is very scared and almost drowns several times because he can only swim poorly, for example in the episodes The New Bathroom , The Spirit of Water and the plastic duck .
  • In several episodes, the protagonists intone a song whose first lines read "Freedom lives in the mountains, envy lives in the valleys" - a mixture of the phrase of the same name, widespread in Bavaria, and the song Freedom lives on the mountains (King -Ludwig-Lied) by Maxl Graf .

Allusions

  • In the episode The Great Crash and its Consequences , Master Eder reads a book in bed with the title “ 3: 0 for Veigl ”. That is the title of a crime scene episode in which Gustl Bayrhammer played Chief Inspector Melchior Veigl.
  • In the episode “Pumuckl goes on holiday” there are several allusions to the station scene in Spiel mir das Lied von Tod : The background music, a dripping gutter, an annoying fly that finally ended up with a “can” (in the original with a weapon in which TV series with a beverage can), as well as the fact that Master Eder gets off on the wrong side of the train, are strongly reminiscent of Sergio Leone's masterpiece .
  • As a result, Pumuckl and the music , Toni Berger says: “You could crash at this choral society”. This is an allusion to the play The Brandner Kaspar and Eternal Life in which Gustl Bayrhammer, Fritz Strassner and Toni Berger played together at the Munich Residenztheater. Toni Berger says as death to Fritz Strassner (Brandner Kaspar) “You could crash into this tribe”. Fritz Strassner also plays in this episode. In the same episode, Fredl Fesl , who appears as a musician, apologizes for being late, saying that his car did not start, which is an allusion to Fesl's song Occasion-Yodel , in which he sings about his bad starting car.
  • In the episode Das Schloßgespenst there is an allusion to Dinner for One : the countess's butler trips several times over the head of a lion's skin, which is used to decorate the floor. In the same episode, the invisible Pumuckl haunts Eder's jacket pocket with a loud "Hui Buh" for the butler - Hans Clarin also spoke the castle ghost Hui Buh . Furthermore, the episode contains three allusions to the series Graf Yoster does the honors : The filming location Schloss Isareck and the same car Rolls-Royce Phantom III with Wolfgang Völz in the role of the chauffeur.
  • As a result, help, a temporary help! Pumuckl sings the beginning of the folk song Solang der alten Peter , formerly the pause sign of the Bavarian radio and to this day jingle of the traffic announcements on Bayern 3 . In the same episode, Master Eder replies to Mrs. Singermaier's question whether he has a dog that he used to have a dachshund, apparently an allusion to the dachshund "Oswald" from Chief Inspector Veigl.
  • About the gas man Mr. Nippel, Pumuckl says in the episode On the Hot Track “I had to pull ten knots through the flap of the nipple”, an allusion to Mike Krüger's hit Der Nippel .
  • In The Enigmatic Dog , a man threatens Master Eder with a neon tube that suddenly lights up like a lightsaber in Star Wars .
  • In the episode Das Spiel mit dem Feuer , Pumuckl tries to distract Meister Eder in the kitchen from a burning candle he has lit behind the door by asking who is the music that is being played on the radio. Master Eder, who doesn't know exactly, replies: “ Rimski-Korsakov , or from Meyerbeer or from someone”. The music on the radio was actually the overture to the opera Donna Diana by Emil von Reznicek , which was used as introductory music in the ZDF program Recognize the Melody and in which quiz candidates had to recognize melodies from operas and operettas. Pumuckl's question and Eder's ignorant answer allude to this format.
  • In the episode Pumuckl answers the phone , the professor played by Towje Kleiner says when Eder rings his doorbell: “I'm not here. I am not there at all. Neither there nor there ”, pointing to the phone and the door. This is an allusion to the series The normal madness , in which Towje Kleiner also played. In the opening credits he also says: “I'm not there. I'm not there at all. "

Trivia

  • In the second season of 1988/89 the workshop is now painted yellow on the outside, the background in front of which Pumuckl throws the title of the episode “up” has been swapped. The drawn goblin now also looks a bit different: the eyes appear larger, the head is no longer that big, and the hair is no longer orange, as in the first season, but bright red. Another change can be seen in caretaker Stürzlinger, who now wears a full beard instead of just a mustache as in the first season.
  • According to the laws of physics, the visible goblin should cast a shadow. In contrast, there is the shadow of objects that Pumuckl moves. Pumuckl should also be seen on reflective surfaces, which apart from scenes in episodes 2 ( The Bed Sold ), 6 ( Pumuckl is on vacation ), 20 ( Pumuckl and Puwackl ) and 22 ( The fatal whipped cream ) was never the case.
  • The colors of Pumuckl's shirt and pants in the series are yellow and green instead of yellow and red.
  • In episode 4 The Castle Ghost , Pumuckl jumps through a pane of glass to the pendulum of a grandfather clock.
  • The disco song to which Pumuckl sings and dances in episode 19 Das Suckling Pig Food is (Let's Get Fully) Tilt & Boogie by Fritz Muschler and Paul Birmingham (actually: Klaus Dittmar). The singer is Jackie Robinson .
  • When Master Eder carved a Pumuckl head in episode 20 Pumuckl and Puwackl , the hands of the sculptor Toni Menacher can be seen in the close-ups .
  • The dachshund in episode 22 The fatal whipped cream belonged to the make-up artist Helga glasses.
  • In episode 24 The Mysterious Letters (broadcast on March 11, 1983), Eder reads a newspaper on April 17, 1980.
  • In episode 28 Pumuckl and the Fruit Trees , the hit Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Honolulu Beach Bikini is alluded to at the end. Master Eder had previously teased Pumuckl, who had lost his trousers in a mishap and had to help himself with leaves.
  • In episode 44 Pumuckl answers the phone , Gewürzmühlstrasse 6 is mentioned as the joiner's address.
  • In episode 50 Pumuckl on a witch hunt , Pumuckl says "Yes chenau" instead of "Yes exactly" in reference to the Jachenau .

Pilot film

On April 2, 1982, the first Pumuckl movie was released under the title Meister Eder und seine Pumuckl. The film is essentially a compilation of four episodes of the parallel television series: Spuk in der Werkstatt , The Bed Sold , The Castle Ghost and The Suckling Pig Meal . However, several scenes were recorded twice (with other actors in supporting roles), and the background music also differs. The animation of the Pumuckl figure is carried out differently in some cases, for example when he explains to Eder that he has to stay with whoever saw him.
