Pittiplatsch, also known as Pitti for short, is a German fictional kobold character who was very famous in East Germany, especially as a puppet character on children’s television. He first appeared in 1962 in the television series Meister Nadelöhr erzählt (‘Narrations from Master Needle Eye’), later renamed Zu Besuch im Märchenland (‘Visiting Fairyland’). The character was co-created by the writers Ingeborg Feustel and Günther Feustel, the sculptor Emma-Maria Lange, and the puppeteer Heinz Schröder. Today, the short puppet colour films created for East German television are still broadcast on the Sandmännchen (‘Little Sandman’) children’s TV program. ‘Unser Sandmännchen und seine Freunde’© – 2016 – MDR und rbbLizenz durch TELEPOOL GmbH- Alle Rechte vorbehalten – Coin is available in Leipzig en Potsdam
