New Attraction: Cheeky Cult Goblin Pumuckl Becomes a Traffic Light Figure

The Pumuckl traffic light can be found at an intersection in the Lehel district. Not far from there, the first Pumuckl series was filmed in the 1980s.

First Pumuckl Traffic Light Inaugurated In Munich

Both children and adults still enjoy the stories of the little goblin who gets stuck to a glue pot in Master Eder's workshop, making him visible to the carpenter. Since 2023, the cult figure has gained numerous new fans through the new Pumuckl series.

The city of Munich wants to use Pumuckl's popularity for traffic safety with the support of the family of creator Ellis Kaut and illustrator Barbara von Johnson. "The striking design is intended to playfully encourage children, especially on their way to school, to pay more attention to the traffic signals and cross the street safely," explains the city. "At the same time, Pumuckl brings a smile to everyone waiting at the traffic light - making the wait just a little bit nicer."
