**Rephrased:** Pumuckl is a charming and sometimes naughty goblin that lived with cabinet maker Franz Eder. Franz's life has been filled with trouble due to Pumuckl's mischief-making antics. The origins of "Pumuckl" go back to the early 1960s when the Bayerischer Rundfunk launched a radio series about the notorious goblin. Ellis Kaut, a Munich resident known for inventing the naughty little creature, wrote the Pumuckl stories. In 1970, his tales were released as records, and actor Alfred Pongratz voiced Meister Eder on radio until his death in 1977. Gustl Bayrhammer took over the role when Pongratz passed away in 1977. In 1979, the Bayerischer Rundfunk broadcasted "Pumuckl" on TV. The show was a massive success and continues to be popular today despite Bayrhammer's passing many years ago. Today, Pumuckl resides aboard a ship that travels along the Danube River, with his new companion portrayed by Towje Kleiner. The animated character in the series has an original voice actor who started voicing him on radio long before the TV series began: Hans Clarin. This actor has been providing "Pumuckl" with his voice continuously for 40 years and is considered a master of Pumuckl's high-pitched, distinctive sound.
