Museum of puppet theater culture
The Museum for Puppet Theater Culture (PuK) is a museum in Bad Kreuznach with an attached workshop, its own theater room with regular performances and many test stations for self-awareness. It was opened on April 23, 2005 and essentially houses the extensive collection of Karl-Heinz Rother (1928-2010), which is now owned by the State of Rhineland-Palatinate , as well as many other puppet theater works (PuK collection).
A permanent exhibition shows the world of puppet theater on 750 m². The different forms of puppet theater from all over the world as well as the range of puppet theater of the 20th century in Germany are exhibited. The development of the puppet theater from popular entertainment to an independent theater genre and also of the TV puppet theater is made clear. In addition, there are special exhibitions every year, for example in 2008 on Astrid Lindgren and the life's work of Prof. Albrecht Roser .
Many important representatives of the puppet theater can be seen permanently, such as the original Hohnsteiner Kasper by Max Jacob , the Cologne Hänneschen Theater , productions by Carl Schröder or the functional Fliewatüüt and the complete staging of the three tasks from the TV production Robbi, Tobbi and the Fliewatüüt , built and played by Albrecht Roser, Friedrich Arndt , Rudolf Fischer and others. The exhibition concept and the series of events also focus on contemporary puppet theater.
