In the beginning, her husband had given her that name, with a teasing in Winter 1960/61: “Do you know what are you?”, the journalist Kurt Price had called, had as Ellis Kaut drawn on a branch and then transported a load of snow in his neck, “a Pumuckl You are!” An end has to make the author her now famous Munich Kobold from the family of Klabautermänner twelve years later and send him back there want , where he had come – the sea. “Proposal has no sentimentality, please” The master carpenter Eder could after all these years use some rest

Whereupon he had to be visible to these people a future and stayed with him. His care for all other hidden lasting nature in Dollsize made the old to the nerd who had to dub the visible consequences of explorations, accidents and pranks of his guest, to explain and to replace. What kind of work! What a treat!


                         
         
         
                                                             

Finally back paint

The author himself probably could use some rest before their well-known figure. Directly after school Elisabeth “Ellis” Kaut had graduated from a drama school and later studied from 1940 to 1944 at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts sculpture and the visual arts all his life felt closer than the letter. But granted it has not been the peace: Interest in Pumuckls adventures was immense, according to the hitherto approximately ninety radio drama episodes and twelve books they should by 1978 with more than fifty episodes also be on TV in 1982 finally even to the movies in 2005 was dedicated to the Kobold even a museum in Ohlstadt at Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

                         
         
         
                                                             

As a classic was made Pumuckl long been a favorite of children across generations, across all fashions in children’s book market and on the screen. In the same year its creator was finally handed over their work in the Ellis Kaut Foundation, the children will be tempted to read, at the International Youth Library in Munich and devote more attention again the creative activities they had learned and studied.


                         
         
         
                                                             

This may have been only a goblin

your acting training had brought them to the Bayerischer Rundfunk as spokeswoman for radio plays and children’s programs, her husband had encouraged them in the postwar period for writing. The “Stories from the hangover Musch” were the first series, which she wrote for the radio, for seven years, one hundred and twenty episodes about a cat and its owner, the stand-alone writers Tonerl who is able to understand the only their language. Just the transmitter had wanted a new figure in the summer of 1961, when the desk of the writer vanished a pencil.

And again added things – an intervention in the order of man who attributed only a leprechaun could be and enter the name of the winter holidays and the motif of the old with only him accessible guest. Already in the first episode, “Haunted in the workshop”, sent a first time in March 1962, Hans Clarin has the leprechaun lent his distinctive voice. And gustl bayrhammer were already in the radio production to Master Eder.


                         
         
         
                                                             

The abdomen should remain

Again and again there has been controversy over Pumuckl – not to its essence, but its shape. Originally designed by Barbara Johnson, Ellis Kauts son, the cartoonist Brian Bagnall had drawn the figure for the new movie. A years of copyright litigation followed, which ended only in 2003 with the decision that the illustrator had to also participate in the marketing of the revised figure. Four years later, Barbara Johnson has come up with the idea to provide a bride Pumuckl aside. Ellis Kaut wanted to prevent the proclaimed for their design drawing competition – and failed again in court

It was not until this summer Pumuckl has again caused a stir, when the figure was revised for an anniversary book again and had given preference interviewed children of a slimmer figure. After a storm of indignation, the publisher relented. His creator was the new Pumuckl “hideous”. The fact that the other editions again show the familiar figure, she is no longer able to see. This Thursday Ellis Kaut has died at the age of ninety-four years after a long illness in a nursing home near Munich.
