action
When the miller's daughter Lisa and Prince Moritz happen to meet in the forest, it is love at first sight. You promise to see each other again as soon as possible, but it turns out differently. When Lisa's father, the miller Gisbert, boasted at the palace of the gold-hungry King Gustav that his daughter could spin straw into gold, the king forced him to send Lisa to the palace. There she is locked in a chamber full of straw that she is supposed to spin into gold. Lisa has to accomplish the impossible, as she is threatened with death otherwise. The young woman is completely desperate when suddenly, as if by magic, “a nasty little man” appears. Lisa promises to help her, but not without asking for something in return. For Lisa's necklace, a memento of her mother, the little man actually spins the straw into gold. When the king wants more gold, Lisa also gives the male the ring her mother has asked for as a reward for his further help.
The king is enthusiastic and in his greed for gold demands that Lisa turn more straw into gold. Again the little man appears at the caged Lisa and this time demands her first-born child in return. Lisa goes into this deal in complete desperation and the little man spins the straw into gold. The king becomes sick of the gold and abdicates. Prince Moritz becomes the new king and marries the miller's daughter.
After Lisa, the new queen, has given birth to a child, the little man reappears and demands that the agreement be honored. But she gets a chance: if she guesses the man's name, she can keep her child. The young queen asks her people to have a wide range of names available, ostensibly to find a suitable name for her own child. But the little man doesn't accept any of the names. The king notices that a flower that the little man wore on his cap only grows in a certain place in the forest. So the royal couple can watch the little man dancing and singing in a cave in the forest: “Oh, how good that nobody knows that I am called Rumpelstiltskin.” At the next meeting they give the little man his name, and Rumpelstiltskin sinks into it with anger Ground. Queen Lisa gets her beloved jewelry back.

Origin and Interpretation
In all probability, the fairy tale goes back to older folk tales, as the different motifs appear in various folk and devil tales. The fairy tales Rapunzel and Marienkind also deal with the devil's pact for a child. In the fairy tales The Three Spinners and The Mermaid in the Pond there are also magical helpers. Gold and demons play a role in the fairy tales Frau Holle and Schneeweißchen and Rosenrot . In stories from around 1575, the name Rumpelstilz appears as a name for a knocking spirit. This is described as a malicious goblin "who makes noises and shakes and rumbles on furniture".
criticism
"Attractive (TV) remake of the famous fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm as an atmospheric fantasy fable that lives especially from Robert Stadlober's exuberant playfulness as a forest magician whose name nobody knows."
In Kino.de it was felt that the films of the ARD series "would offer, but if you just look there, you discover," "Eight in one sweep" ostensibly seemingly faithful to the original "adaptations of Grimm fairy tales with as much love for Detail the stories have been implemented ". About the king played by Gottfried John it was said that he was "not only vocally an appropriate cast", since he had also played Julius Caesar once. Robert Stadlober in the title role is “despite the undergrowth of his face [...] actually too pretty for the demonic monster, his hysterical giggles are all the better for the role. The pair of lovers, whose scenes mothers and daughters are allowed to sigh together, are aptly cast. "
TV Spielfilm spoke of an "ironic Grimm remake" and pointed with a thumbs up.
