"Episode dedicated to the manipulated urban setting of Erfurt"
In the heart of Erfurt, a city steeped in history and rich in cultural tradition, a podcast named "Puppkultur" is making waves. Hosted by Martin Reinl and Julian Schlichting, this podcast delves into the fascinating world of puppetry, shining a light on its significance in entertainment, education, and local traditions.
"Puppkultur" boasts interviews with creators and puppet makers, offering a unique insight into the minds behind some of our favourite puppet characters. From Sesame Street's Elmo to the iconic characters from the Muppet Show, the Augsburger Puppenkiste, Hallo Spencer, Rabe Rudi, and Bernd das Brot, the podcast covers a broad spectrum of puppetry from film and television.
Erfurt, a World Heritage City, is particularly close to the hearts of the "Puppkultur" team. The city's strong puppetry heritage is evident in the 19 Kika figures scattered across 14 locations, and in the local legends like Rabe Rudi and Bernd das Brot. These characters, well-known in German media, are regularly featured on the podcast, serving as a testament to the city's vibrant puppetry scene.
The podcast also reminisces about these figures, providing a nostalgic trip down memory lane for many listeners. The latest addition to Erfurt's puppet scene are the figures Jan and Henry, unveiled recently in front of the Erfurt Zoo. The inauguration of these new characters was attended by Martin Reinl and Carsten Haffke, adding to the city's rich puppetry tapestry.
However, life in Erfurt is not without its challenges. Parking fees in the city centre have more than tripled for residents, and there's a persistent pigeon problem, although it's not everywhere. Despite these issues, the city's spirit remains undeterred, as shown by the upcoming flea market for second-hand items, organised by a local resident.
In the realm of theatre, the Domstufenfestspiele had a successful premiere of "La Bohème", promising a vibrant cultural calendar for the city. As "Puppkultur" continues to explore the world of puppetry, it serves as a reminder of the city's rich cultural heritage and its continuing commitment to the arts.
The "Puppkultur" podcast is available on all major channels, inviting listeners to join the journey and discover the magic of puppetry in Erfurt and beyond.
