Countless children and not a few adults have believed that the strange bird with glasses, overalls and speaking Ukulele really lives in a trailer. But as authentic Peter Lustig was again not – the native of Wroclaw has the final years, spent together with his third wife Astrid mountains in a normal apartment in Berlin, near Kudamm, in which he was taken to be his grandchildren closer and them, probably to explain a bit of the world, as he did on television for decades.

On Tuesday Peter Lustig died at the age of 78 years, not in Berlin, but in the family in Schleswig-Holstein

Many of his fans probably do not even know the name is real. But he was there: why Peter Fritz Willi Lustig had probably been no opportunity to give more responsibly through life. He graduated in Hamburg teachings as television mechanic, then came, employed by the US Soldatensender AFN as a sound engineer to Berlin.

“TV sucks!”

here began his career at a historic summit: He checked on a rickety scaffold the microphone that chronicled Kennedy’s famous phrase: “Ich bin ein Berliner”. Lustig was not taken soo: “What he said, I hardly heard,” he recalled. For the first time in front of the camera he got when the director asked him at a test rotation to make something funny: Funny an egg hit on the head, called “TV sucks!” And was henceforth regarded as a TV talent.

By Peter Lustig is one of the last ‘tv men’. He was not a trained entertainer, therefore the unpretentious style that made him credible in children and to his successor lacked already. Rest in peace, Peter Lustig.

in 1973, he entered into short business films in the “mouse TV” on, moderated by the Bavarian radio and was eventually discovered by ZDF for the new program “Pusteblume”, the “dandelion” was called later – the Mainzer transmitter also wanted what mouse Excessive have in his program. Funny moderated the more than 25 years in the overalls he always wore anyway; he had 35 times in all, and was regarded as eco-Apostles, which he was not -. respect for nature, he wanted to convey, that’s all

“off”

And so he told like grin that he had eaten them in a restaurant a juicy steak, followed by a woman at the next table indignantly stood up and snapped: “I had just not thought of you” a romantic dropout type he was certainly never did not like cereal and was not wearing Birkenstocks although is often referenced in the eighties in the biographies on its membership of the Bhagwan movement. He never demanded, with one exception-consumption: disable His invitation to the children, after the broadcast of the television, was considered a cult

Peter Lustig has lived in Mallorca, then moved to a thatched farmhouse at Husum later – where he lived when he took the end of 2005 with 67 farewell to the work. Since he had lived more than 20 years diagnosed with lung cancer, had seven operations over. He walked with a cane, which you could not see on television, turning had become tedious. In Berlin he wore last sometimes even suit.

He wanted to relive urban, moved with it in the vicinity of its construction trailer, the movie in the park Babelsberg is – most of the “dandelion” episodes were filmed in Berlin or Potsdam. So was the fictional Bärstadt where the trailer was on the show, over the years by the district Heiligensee, sometimes in Wannsee and times in Kleinmachnow.

His unique talent was to explain complicated things as that children were understood and not bored adults. How breathes a tree? Why do dogs four legs and worms no?

Something interested himself He was particularly proud of a letter from a boy who wrote to him. “I look up always so happy, because I have to have no fear.”

from Lustigs time as soundman for SFB there is the story that he found the child radio childish, it also said the editor. She said, “Then do it but better.”

He wrote a radio play for children, it was better has been sent. But when they suddenly stood in his garden and autographs wanted, he realized that on my nerves – but that he did not like children, like him imputed a newspaper, which he has always denied

Whether it the classic set. “Sounds funny, but as” invented, which is often attributed to him – it may not be obtained clarity. Armin Maiwald of the “mouse”, the other candidate, it will not have been. And Peter Lustig himself, the great world commentators, we can no longer ask now. Even that sounds strange, but unfortunately so.

In the night from Saturday to Sunday sends ZDF from 00:50 twelve episodes dandelion in a row .
