A well-known Carnival - Schlager was dedicated to the Tap-fumble Tönchen:

thou stands a little bit, thou kiekt dat girl ruut;
who doesn’t know the Lehnchen vam tipp-tap-tönchen. "
The staircase is the setting and, in a modified form, the title giver of the crime comedy King Ping - Tappen Tödchen .
