What's going on at Findigs today?

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What's going on at Findigs today? was a radio play series of the Berliner Rundfunk , the themes of which were taken from the everyday life of a GDR family with four children.

background

The series was broadcast Monday through Friday from 6:55 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. and on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The half-hourly broadcast had a different line-up than the morning broadcasts shortly before 7:00. The first broadcast was broadcast in 1958, and the broadcast was last heard on September 28, 1990. One of the changing authors was Jost Glase . The production of the radio play series took place on the premises of the GDR radio in East Berlin's Nalepastraße . The children of the Findigs were spoken to by members of the speaker children’s ensemble of the GDR radio, which was also located in the Nalepastraße radio station. The jingle intro was composed by Horst Krüger , who was popular with his own band in the 1970s. On August 13, 1961, the day the construction of the Berlin Wall began , the broadcast was canceled at 10:00 a.m. Instead, the declarations of the Warsaw contracting states and the resolutions of the GDR Council of Ministers to “secure the GDR's state border” were read out. In 1972 Richard Hambach and Christel Wenzlaff published a 16-page handicraft and reading booklet with the title of the series at Verlag für Lehrmittel .

In 2004, some episodes were repeated in the program of the Berlin radio station Radio Berlin 88.8 .
