Robbi, Tobbi and the Fliewatüüt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robbi, Tobbi und das Fliewatüüt is a children's book by the Sylt author Boy Lornsen from 1967. Based on the book, the WDR produced an elaborate television film in four parts directed by Armin Maiwald , which was first broadcast on September 3, 1972 on Das Erste . In 2016, desert film produced a remake under the direction of Wolfgang Groos .

book

Robbi, Tobbi and the Fliewatüüt was first published in 1967 by Verlag K. Thienemann , Stuttgart , with illustrations by Franz Josef Tripp . The 256-page book was included in the selection list of the German Youth Book Prize .

ROB 344-66 / IIIa, called Robbi, is in the third grade of the robot school. Every year there is a big robot exam with a practical and theoretical part. This time Robbi was given the task of recreating an invention. To do this, he secretly photographed the construction plans for Tobbi's Fliewatüüt at night. The inventor Tobias Findteisen, called Tobbi, attends the third grade of elementary school. His invention has the following properties:

"1. A Fliewatüüt can fly like a helicopter, hence Flie .
2. It can swim like a duck on the water, so wa .
3. It can also drive on the road, just like a car, only much more slowly. Cars "do" very often, so do. "

- Chapter 1

The vehicle is powered by raspberry juice from the storage cellar. One night Robbi visits the inventor Tobbi. Robbi speaks with a computer voice whose peculiarity is to add a recurring "click" to the text:

“I have - click - borrowed it secretly, so to speak. I photographed him one night when you were sound asleep in your bed at home. I know that is - click - not quite right, I should have asked your permission first. "

- Chapter 2

Robbi would like to demonstrate the Fliewatüüt on the one hand, but above all ask Tobbi for help with the theoretical tasks:

"1. Find the yellow and black ringed lighthouse. Question: How many steps does it have?
2. Who is at the North Pole and starts with "Z"?
3. Search for the triangular castle with the triangular towers and discover its secret! "

- Chapter 2

Robbi is allowed to look for a little philanthropist to help solve the tasks, but he also has to go to third grade. He then travels with Tobbi to the Fliewatüüt to find the answers on site.

The story is told in 17 chapters, which in the book are only overwritten with their numbers, but for the sake of clarity they are provided with a description of the content:

Chapter 1: Tütermoor

Tobbi usually lives in the big city. But because his parents had to travel to Canada and are currently on summer vacation, he spends some time with his aunt in the countryside in Tütermoor. He has caught a cold and has to stay in bed because of it. There he goes through his invention again and explains it to his aunt. He asked her to stock up on more raspberry juice because it was the fuel for the Fliewatüüt.

Chapter 2: Robbi's visit

During his visit from Tobbi, Robbi tells a little about how things go in his school, only then does he mention the Fliewatüüt. Robbi has the tasks as a punched tape and as a strip in letter writing. Tobbi tears the latter into suitable pieces so that Robbi can stick it in an exercise book so that he can read it better. Before leaving, Tobbi leaves a message for Aunt Paula that she shouldn't worry.

Chapter 3: Provisions

Robbi can look through walls, if they are not too thick, and thus check whether Aunt Paula is really asleep when leaving the house. Since the front door is locked, Robbi opens it with his tool and then locks it again. Because Robbi could only find a little raspberry juice and Aunt Paula shouldn't wake up, he uses his telescopic arm to get 18 bottles out of the cellar through a ventilation slot. Then he takes some provisions for Tobbi.

Chapter 4: Meeting with Karl-Eduard Fruchtpelle

After a short flight on an inanimate street, Robbi and Tobbi try out whether the Fliewatüüt drives properly. The orange wholesaler Karl-Eduard Fruchtpelle, suddenly approaching the other direction, feels blinded for no reason. He has financial worries right now and is excited about it. Robbi and Tobbi decide to have a quick start. whereupon Fruchtpelle thinks she is seeing ghosts. Shortly before the two of them reach the first lighthouse, Tobbi falls asleep, whereupon Robbi lands in the water on a river island and casts anchor.

Chapter 5: Lighthouse Search

The next day, Robbi and Tobbi circle several lighthouses and also a radar tower, the crew of which suspects a UFO and dispatches two jet fighters. Robbi can locate the radar beams and listen in on radio conversations. So you can hide in the reeds just in time.

In the open sea, Robbi and Tobbi land on a ship about 180 meters long to ask for directions. The boatswain greets them both unfriendly and Robbi has to reprimand them first. Then the two visitors receive a nautical map from the captain with the location of the lighthouse they are looking for.

Chapter 6: Visiting the lighthouse

After two days the Fliewatüüt reaches the yellow and black ringed lighthouse. He stands in the middle of the sea and his keeper, the happy Matthias, has been living on top of him for 35 years and is happy about the visit. After climbing the stairs, everyone agrees: The lighthouse has 177 steps. There are fried potatoes with fried eggs and ham, with Robbi shining at high speed while peeling potatoes.

Chapter 7: Journey to the Eternal Ice

The next morning the Fliewatüüt can no longer be started due to the lack of raspberry juice. Back at the lighthouse, all three think about what to do. Robbi can provide information about substitute fuels, but you have to ask him about specific liquids. This is how happy Matthias looks for liquids in his lumber room: turpentine - no, ammonia - no, maggi wort - no, petroleum - no, blue paint - no, lubricating oil - no, floor wax - no, tar - no, herring brine - no, cod liver oil - Cod liver oil goes! But there is only an insignificant amount of it.

Cod liver oil is available from the Eskimos, where Robbi and Tobbi want to travel anyway for the next task. After some thought, Matthias calls the lighthouse by knocking three times - the sound continues under the water - the Swift Fridolin, a dolphin, and arranges a tow trip to the ice border for three herrings a day plus another three at the destination for the next day. The rest of the day you build skis out of wood and put them under the fliewatüüt so that the chassis does not bend during the fast journey.

The fast Fridolin pulls the Fliewatüüt at over 40 kilometers per hour even at night, so that the journey only takes three and a half days. Once Tobbi accidentally actuates a lever, which unfolds the rotor and the wind causes the Fliewatüüt to fly about three to four meters above the water.

On the morning of the third day it gets so cold that Tobbi puts all his clothes on and is still cold. Then ice is in sight, which the robot eyes see five minutes earlier.

Chapter 8: With the Eskimos

On the ice, Robbi and Tobbi first make a fire with kerosene that Happy Matthias gave them and wood from the food box. Robbi's finger serves as a lighter and it can glow after pressing the green button on his stomach. A rag soaked in machine oil produces black smoke as an emergency signal, whereupon two Eskimo children arrive with a dog sled, Nana and his little sister Nunu. They put Tobbi in their spare clothes and thereby keep him from freezing to death. They also have cod liver oil with them, with which the Fliewatüüt can start again. So Robbi and Nunu fly with the Fliewatüüt and Nana and Tobbi take the sledge to the family of the two Eskimos. Robbi has to fly curves and figure eight at Nunus request, but he succeeds less and less. In the end, he rudely lands on the target and is no longer responsive. Tobbi takes his emergency roll from him and tries to start it according to the instructions, whereupon it works again after a few minutes.

The family lives in an igloo and runs a cod liver oil factory, which is essentially just a large cooking pot in the open air. The polar station is one of the family's customers, but the name of the researcher cannot be remembered.

Chapter 9: Visit to the North Pole

The morning of the next day, Robbi and Tobbi get five large seal bags full of cod liver oil and provisions for the three-day trip to the polar station. Robbi and Nunu as well as Tobbi and Nana take turns flying and sledding. On the way you can see polar lights and meet a polar bear, which Robbi can drive away by holding his heated thumb to the bear's nose using a telescopic arm.

Professor Obenauf lives in the polar station, also an igloo, which initially disappoints Robbi and Tobbi for lack of a "Z". The meanness of the question is that it asks for the first name, and also for one that is not used from above. Eventually they find out the solution: Zacharias Peter Paul Obenauf.

Professor Obenauf can give an important clue for the third task: The strangest castles are in Scotland.

Chapter 10: Flight to Scotland

Robbi and Tobbi fly directly to Scotland from the polar station. Cod liver oil is more economical to use than raspberry juice and, on top of that, the Fliewatüüt runs particularly smoothly. At noon on the third day they meet a gray goose that was born in Scotland and can therefore show the exact course there. Land is in sight in the evening. Robbi and Tobbi search for castles from the air until the rotor shaft overheats and they have to make an emergency landing in a lake that turns out to be Loch Ness .

The two then meet the sea monster Nessie . It complains of its suffering with the reporters and also complains of not knowing how big it is. That's why Robbi and Tobbi measure the monster: 54.36 m high and 65.13 m long. Tobbi deposits the note with the result in Nessie's hollow tooth. Since Nessie appears to be of little intelligence despite his large head, Tobbi does not expect an answer to the question about a triangular castle. Nessie overheard reporters once and that's why she knows the name: Plumpudding Castle.

Chapter 11: On the Way to Plum Pudding Castle

To ask for directions to Plumpudding Castle, Tobbi has come up with a trick. He asks a policeman on the road and pretends to be a millionaire who wants to buy a castle. Robbi plays his driver disguised with a fur hat and jacket. The trick works: the castle is behind Littletown. At night yellow smoke rises there, it is said to be haunted there and silver spoons disappear in the area.

Robbi and Tobbi find Plumpudding Castle and actually see yellow smoke rising there. You hide the Fliewatüüt in a forest and overcome the castle wall with Robbi's telescopic arm. Then they enter the main building.

Chapter 12: Encountering the Mouse Polly

Robbi and Tobbi are warned by a scrawly neon sign: Stop, don't take a step! But you don't let yourself be deterred and come to an ancestral gallery. One picture is labeled “Sir Josuha the First of Plum Pudding, called the Wizard Count”, but only shows a silhouette, just as if someone had stepped out of the picture. Robbi's X-ray eyes see a hole behind the picture and Tobbi manages to find a secret lock on the picture frame. The two climb through a narrow passage and then stand in front of a granite wall. When it comes to the thick walls, Robbi's ability to see through walls fails, so they get stuck.

Then Polly the mouse reports, she reports about the castle ghost Ghosty and knows how to sink the wall. So all three are in the armory of Plumpudding Castle.

Chapter 13: The Castle Ghost Ghosty

The castle ghost, Ghosty, appears in the armory, raining yellow peas. Polly is familiar with the ceremonial and asks that the peas be saved for winter stash. Ghosty cannot be persuaded to reveal the secret of Plumpudding Castle. When Robbi tries to grab it with its telescopic arm, it can immediately free itself from its grip and starts to move again.

The castle is too big for Polly to know all of the rooms. So there are three of you wandering through the walls. When the empty knight's armor comes running from the armory, Tobbi sprinkles the peas to take off.

Chapter 14: The Mysterious Machine

Robbi, Tobbi and Polly enter the courtyard and see birds drop cutlery into a hole. Upon closer inspection, it is a slide. That interests Polly, who then also slips down. Robbi and Tobbi have no choice but to slide behind them, whereupon the two land on a large mountain of silver objects. There's an enigmatic fire-powered machine in the room. In addition, Ghosty appears with fuel and lights the fire with a lot of blowing.

Chapter 15: The Wizard Count

Suddenly a man enters the room Robbi and Tobbi are familiar with from the silhouette of the ancestral gallery. He started the empty knight armor and reports turning silver into gold. Robbi thinks this is nonsense, presses the golden button on his stomach and produces an impressive spectacle with a shower of sparks. Then he breaks the man's wand, which then disappears. The threatening machine to explode can be extinguished with water, which Ghosty hurries to bring.

Then Ghosty tells the whole story: Ghosty used to be at a different castle, but moved after Plumpudding Castle was built. The builder Sir Joshua went from one war to the next while he was still alive and then switched to magic. He was the most feared magician in a large area, but his dream of turning silver into gold had failed him. Even a gold machine did not work because the technology was still very primitive. He had therefore resolved to be born again at a later point in time, when the technology was more advanced. A year ago, when the last plum pudding had long since died and Plumpudding Castle had been abandoned, he stepped out of his picture frame. He threatened Ghosty that it would have to help build and operate the machine, otherwise he would put his head firmly on the body so that it could no longer ghost. But producing gold never worked.

Chapter 16: Notifying the Police

Tobbi goes on his first solo flight to the police in Littletown. There he meets desperate police officers who cannot solve the case with the disappearing silver objects. So they look forward to Tobbi's message and immediately rush to Plumpudding Castle. At the same time Robbi repairs the broken drawbridge and Ghosty fetches the stolen silver from the basement. Then the cops come and take it away.

Chapter 17: The return flight

Robbi and Tobbi are flying back home from Plumpudding Castle in four days. Tobbi writes the report for the third task:

On the triangular castle Plumpudding Castle a small and a big secret could be discovered. The little secret was called Ghosty and it was a castle ghost. It was very nice, although it looked bitter at first. The main secret of Plumpudding Castle was a gold machine. It was supposed to convert silver or copper into gold, but that didn't work. The inventor was called Sir Joshua von Plumpudding Castle, who also called himself "Wizards". He emerged from his ancestral image (how such a thing is possible could not be explained). He was evil and dangerous. Fortunately, it went up in smoke as soon as his wand was broken. Later he was back in his picture frame as if nothing had happened. In addition to all of this, it must be said that things happen in Scottish castles that cannot be explained. Thanks are due to Ghosty, the castle ghost, and Polly MacMouse for their kind help.
Robbi (Rob 344-66 / III a)

After 16 days, 23 hours and 13 minutes, the Fliewatüüt is back in Tütermoor. Robbi hands over a tin plate with the phone number of his school: Tobbi just has to call and he'll come to visit.

Preparations

The plans to film Robbi, Tobbi and the Fliewatüüt came up shortly after the book was published. From the first preparations to the final acceptance, the project then took almost four years, the shooting alone stretched over about 2½ years.

At the beginning, the director Armin Maiwald was faced with the question of the form in which the realization should take place. A human-sized robot would have been too expensive for what it had to be able to do. So the decision was made for a puppet show. Then the author Boy Lornsen was asked if the story could be rewritten in parts, and he agreed. Then the puppeteer and director of the Hohenstein puppet theater Friedrich Arndt wrote the first version of the script. Finally, a kind of mixed production was decided: The dolls should move in a real environment, i.e. be able to visit the North Pole or Scotland. Four episodes of 60 minutes each were planned, and after the WDR had approved the project, Maiwald, following an old theater belief, no longer had his hair cut, after which he finally had a ponytail that reached almost to his buttocks.

Aerial photography

The first thing to do was to take the exterior shots, which were mainly aerial shots. They were recorded on 35mm film and involved a great deal of effort. There were still no cameras on the outside of the helicopter that could be remotely controlled from the cockpit, so you had to film with the side door unhooked, either with a complicated frame for the camera or with the camera on your shoulder, which then had to be mounted in a gyro stabilizer . At that time, the Bell 212 was mainly rented, which only had two rotor blades and was therefore restless in the air. After a long search, a Hughes 250 could be obtained for the recordings in Germany. With its three rotor blades, it was ideal for filming, but it only had two seats. Since the cameraman Werner van Appeldorn had helped to optimize the script, the filming went smoothly. The Hughes 500 , which was used later, had four seats, so that Armin Maiwald and a camera assistant could give the cameraman information via the on-board communication system.

The recording work was also associated with dangerous situations. In Scotland you could only get a Bell / Agusta. During the test flight there was a cable fire, whereupon not even the altimeter could be read. The pilot was still able to land the machine unharmed. While flying around a restricted military area in Scotland, a military machine had left the training area and was flying so close under the helicopter that it almost collided. When visiting Finland to take pictures of the sea with ice floes, the pilot always flew directly into the hangar, where a gust of wind caught him once, so that the helicopter was inclined at 90 ° in the air. The pilot caught the machine again and landed in the hangar on the second attempt.

The North Pole photos were taken on the Großglockner glacier . The production designer Wolfgang Schünke had built individual parts for an igloo and a weather station that had to be put together on location. During the transport, the helicopter reached the top so that it was slow. The first attempt even failed because a downwind pushed him several hundred meters deep into the valley and the pilot was only able to escape the wind when the first houses came frighteningly close. The starting point was originally the Zell am See airfield , then a bus parking space was rented around four minutes from the location. During the shooting there was a sudden change in the weather, so that the parking lot was covered by a cloud and the helicopter had to make an emergency landing further down the pass road, as it had as little fuel as possible with it in view of the flight weight.

Dolls

The dolls were made under the direction of Friedrich Arndt by several doll makers, by Arndt in Hamburg, by Fischer in Darmstadt, by Albrecht Roser in Stuttgart (Studio Roser) and by Dreschers in Weilheim. This took a while to get a consistent style too. Robbi and Tobbi were created several times, Robbi also as a scaled-up version, and some dolls had 3.5 m long strings so that they could be played near the studio ceiling. In addition to Friedrich Arndt, Hildegard and Karl-Heinz Drescher from the Weilheim Puppet Play, Rudolf Fischer and Ingrid Höfer also played.

Since April 23, 2005, the original figures have been exhibited in the Museum for Puppet Theater Culture (PuK) in Bad Kreuznach . In addition to Robbi, Tobbi and the Fliewatüüt, there is also the yellow and black ringed lighthouse with crew, the North Pole with North Pole researcher Zacharias Peter Paul Obenauf, the polar bear and the Eskimo children, Nessie and the Castle Plumpudding Castle with Joshua, the knight's armor and the smallest figure: Polly McMouse.

Decoration and Fliewatüüt

The production designer Wolfgang Schünke built the decorations and also the Fliewatüüt. Like the cameraman, he had already worked on the revision of the script, after which the construction went smoothly. Just like the Fliewatüüt on the cover of the book, the model also had no tail rotor, but otherwise had little resemblance. The model was wider than it was tall, so it didn't correspond to the egg shape in the book. And while the windshield of the Buch-Fliewatüüt ended at the level of the dashboard, on the Modell-Fliewatüüt it went down to the floor, similar to that of many helicopters. The model was painted light blue instead of red. (In the first chapter of the book it is mentioned that Tobbi cannot decide between red or blue as the color for the Fliewatüüt.)

Studio recordings

The WDR had just built four new studios at the law school, near the main building on Walraffplatz. The recordings were made with the latest television technology in one of the two large studios, Studio B. The studio recordings took place in front of a blue wall and this blue was replaced by the outdoor recordings in the control room. For this purpose, two broadcast copies were made of the flight recordings and placed in the film scanner as an endless loop. One for practicing, where scratches could not be avoided after repeated runs, and one for recording. The cross-fading did not work perfectly, however, with night shots the light wall reflected on the dark foreground, which destroyed the illusion. Only a 100% reflective film as a background, which was illuminated by a weak blue lamp under the camera, produced a usable result. During the recordings, the puppeteer Friedrich Arndt spoke to all the characters with a disguised voice in order to get an orientation for the later synchronization.

Locations

Some of the book and film refer to real places like Loch Ness and the North Pole . Other places are fiction, but some have real equivalents. So Robbi and Tobbi go in search of a triangular castle in Scotland, where they find Castle Plumpudding Castle. Research had shown that there was once a triangular castle in Scotland - Caerlaverock Castle - but only a ruin remained. Therefore, Plumpudding Castle was recreated as a 1: 3 scale model with ten meter high towers so that it could be seen from the air when approaching. According to the book, the castle should be in a lake and only accessible via a drawbridge. In order to avoid the costs of taking pictures in Scotland, the model was built on pontoons in a bay of the Rur reservoir , as the area there looked sufficiently Scottish. The protruding parts were covered with bushes and earth.

MAZ

The recordings were not shot with a conventional film camera, but recorded as video directly on magnetic tape. That was a novelty at the time. This new process was specially appreciated in the original opening credits , where it was not "A film by ..." but "A MAZ by ...". This was made possible by the then new and sensational blue screen technology . Real landscape shots were combined with shots of stick puppets and marionettes . At the beginning of the credits , a photo of the entire crew is shown. When the names appear, the associated persons and groups are zoomed in.

cut

The recordings were recorded directly on a 2-inch magnetic tape in the studio. For the first episode, the cut was done mechanically. The tape had to be processed very precisely, which is why only six to seven cuts per hour were possible. From the second episode on it was already possible to edit electronically. To do this, it had to be entered into the playback device from which point in time should be dubbed, and into the recording device, at which point in time should be recorded. Then the copying process ran fully automatically. Such devices were only available in the Bonn studio for current reporting. Because of this, the work had to be interrupted during political events.

Ocean shots

The ocean-going ship on which the Fliewatüüt lands to ask for directions was shown as an original in the aerial photo and then the deck as a faithfully reproduced model. The lighthouse was created as a nine-meter model. In the rear view it was open so that the puppeteers could act.

volume

For the setting, film copies were made and then the noises were generated at the same time and the puppets were made to speak.

Sound dubbing

The sound was dubbed in the film cutting room in Cologne. The editor Marianne Katsch was busy for several weeks, setting every step, starting the Fliewatüüt, the ship, etc. to music.

Text synchronization

The text synchronization took place in the Bavaria Filmstudios in Munich. The puppets were spoken by the following people, the dialogues being based on the book, including the repeated click at Robbi:

role Dubbing voice
Tobbi Ulrike Luderer
Robbi Harry J. Bong
Dolphin Fridolin Horst Raspe
Eskimo child Nunu Christa Häussler
Nessi Margot Leonard
Scottish policeman Thomas Reiner
Count Joshua (magician) Klaus W. Krause

Nessi should get a sexy voice, that's why they chose the German voice of Marilyn Monroe with Margot Leonard .

Soundtrack

The soundtrack of the series comes from the pen of Ingfried Hoffmann , Armin Maiwald knew it from Jazz East-West in Nuremberg. The introduction to the title song is played on a keyboard, with the Robbi-Tobbi motif encountering the listener several times in different variations.

The Frank Popp Ensemble has re-released the title song in several versions, including a drum and bass version. There is another cover version by the group Welle: Erdball .

Broadcasts

It was first broadcast in 1972 on ARD's First Program in four parts, each 45 to 65 minutes long. This also included the report How the Fliehwatüüt flies about the complex filming:

  • Episode 1: Sunday, September 3rd, 1972 at 3 p.m.
  • How the Fliewatüüt flies : Thursday, September 14, 1972 at 5:25 p.m.
  • Episode 2: Sunday, September 17th, 1972 at 2:10 p.m.
  • Episode 3: Sunday, September 24, 1972 at 2:35 p.m.
  • Episode 4: Sunday, October 1st, 1972 at 2:45 p.m.

The interruption between the first and the second episode came about because of the 1972 Summer Olympics .

Numerous repetitions followed, in the first program in August 1973, December 1975 and July 1979; afterwards very often in the third programs and in KiKA . The series was also broadcast as a one-, two-, five-, six- or eleven-part version.

VHS and DVD releases

The series was released on a total of six VHS cassettes. A double DVD with additional bonus material has been available in stores since April 2005. It contains the series in the eleven-part version as well as the mentioned special. In October 2007 a new DVD box was released in the uncut version and digitally revised (remastered) material. In addition to extensive bonus material, the box contains a CD with the music for the film.

Deviations in the film

In Tütermoor

  • Neither Tütermoor nor Aunt Paula are mentioned.
  • Robbi doesn't tell how it goes in the robot school, he only mentions it briefly.
  • Robbi throws the three examination questions onto the wall with his nose as a projection lens with continuous writing so that Tobbi can read them out.
  • Tobbi packs up his personal belongings, then you are already in the garden in front of the Fliewatüüt. Leaving the house is not shown, nor is Robbi's ability to look through thin walls.
  • The Fliewatüüt seems to be full and already loaded with provisions for Tobbi.
  • You take off immediately, there is neither an explanation of the controls nor a test drive and consequently no encounter with Karl-Eduard Fruchtpelle.

The trip to the North Pole

  • Nunu and Nana's family is not shown. The two have cod liver oil with them and immediately travel to the North Pole.
  • Robbi does not collapse during a flight, but immediately after the two children arrive.

In scotland

  • The castle ghost Ghosty does not appear, peas fall from the ceiling for no apparent reason.
  • When the three stand in front of the enigmatic machine, they immediately meet Joshua, who has trained birds with a flute so that they can bring stolen metal.
  • Robbi does not press a gold button on his stomach, as a result there is no shower of sparks. He takes the alleged wand from Joshua, in fact it is the flute, and breaks it. So it's not a magician at all, but a swindler.
  • The machine catches fire, then Robbi and Tobbi try to extinguish it, whereby Joshua manages to escape.

Radio play and audio book versions

To date there are three known radio play versions :

  • WDR radio play from 1968 a. a with Jürgen von Manger as speaker and Heinz-Dieter Köhler in the direction
  • Intercord radio play from 1972/1973 on three LPs or MCs with u. a. Sigi Harreis as Aunt Paula and Dieter Eppler as Robbi . This version is based on the content of the book. The ghost Ghosty appears, and the enchanter is a real wizard. In detail, however, she does not adhere to the specifications: the dialogues are not copied verbatim, and Robbi does not speak with a regularly repeated click .
  • Carousel radio play from 1991 on two CDs or MCs.
  • In addition, there is an edition from Der Audio Verlag (DAV) from 2005 that advertised made by WDR on the cover (i.e. the first version from 1968). In fact, the carousel version from 1991 was on the two CDs.
  • A three-part audio book version, each with two CDs and a total playing time of 460 minutes, was also published by Der Audio Verlag in 2006 , read by Stefan Kaminski . This is an unabridged reading of Boy Lornsen's book.
  • A three-part reading by Dietmar Bär was published by Audiobook Hamburg in 2013 , also uncut on two CDs each.

Motion picture

In 2016, a movie was made under the direction of Wolfgang Groos with Arsseni Bultmann , Alexandra Maria Lara , Sam Riley , Friedrich Mücke , Jördis Triebel , Bjarne Mädel and Ralph Caspers . However, the film is only marginally based on the plot of the original.
