Valsch Ferbunden
Valsch Ferbunden (also Valsch Ferbunden! ) Was a radio series by and with Peter Frankenfeld , which was broadcast nationwide in the 1960s . It was the first of later numerous radio broadcasts in Germany whose broadcast concept was based on the principle of the telephone prank.
Frankenfeld used his talent for acting and dialect to make the calls, for example disguising his voice and speaking in almost all German dialects during the 90 broadcasts.
idea
“'Valsch Ferbunden' was something that I had always liked to do as a child, which all children probably enjoyed doing - secretly pushing the doorbell of someone else, putting pennies on the tram tracks, throwing a snowball at an unknown apartment window. Nothing resembles the tingling curiosity that one feels - what happens? That is the tremendously exciting question. Valsch Ferbunden is such an exciting game for adults "
humor
Often in the foreground of Franconia field calls for generally non-celebrities were his known harmless puns , so he asked, for example, in the Cologne Launderette Nippes whether it would be there quite possible his Nippes figures to wash, or wanted by an auditor , the Suitability from Ernest Hemingway's book The Old Man and the Sea Experienced as a gift for a young girl. But Frankenfeld also brought up other unusual concerns, for example a phone call to a fur shop with the request to advise the wife so that in the end she would not buy fur because the man did not have the money at the moment. Especially enjoyable was an attempt by Frankenfeld to place an advertisement in a local newspaper with the headline “Fortune in three days”, which asked the readers to send him money for the subsequent answer (“Do it like me!”). Frankenfeld deliberately didn't want to embarrass anyone when he called, rather the question “What would you have said?” Was at the center of the amusement. The moderator later also stated that none of the people called had ever refused him permission to broadcast.
Transmission data
According to Frankenfeld, the response to the programs that started in the early 1960s was “enormous”. 90 episodes of Valsch Ferbunden were broadcast uncut by WDR , NDR , SR , HR , BR and SFB . The participants remained anonymous.
Sound carrier
A selection from the calls from Frankenfelds Valsch Ferbunden! was released in 1966 on a record of the same name, which had several editions, most recently on CD in 1998 .
