Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl (Master Eder and his Pumuckl) is a West German-Austrian-Hungarian children's series. It is based on the character Pumuckl, created by children's book author Ellis Kaut.
Plot
The master carpenter Eder meets the Kobold Pumuckl, whom only Eder can see, because Pumuckl becomes invisible when other people approach. Pumuckl finally stays with Eder in his carpenter's shop, and maintains a fatherly and friendly relationship with Eder.
Background
1982/1983 the first season of the series was broadcast at Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Television), from September 24 and in Erstes Deutsches Fernsehen (First German Television), from September 26 consisting of 26 half-hour episodes.
Between the production of the two seasons director of the first Pumuckl season and co-screenwriter Ulrich König created the Bogeyman Hatschipuh, a character which resembles Pumuckl (also in optical appearance) but has striking green instead of red hair, and whose name has also been taken from a Pumuckl screenplay.
1988/1989 followed a second season consisting of 26 all new episodes. Some differences between the first and the second season are notable e.g. Eder's carpenter's shop is now yellow on the outside and Pumuckl throws episode titles in the air.
Since its original airing the series has been rerun various programs of the ARD.
The theme was co-created by famous South African-German musician Howard Carpendale.
Many well-known German actors such as Willy Harlander, Ilse Neubauer, Erni Singerl, Toni Berger, Wolfgang Völz and Helga Feddersen had recurring appearances. The one-time guest appearances e.g. Lisa Fitz, Gisela Uhlen, Helmut Fischer, Barbara Valentin, Gaby Dohm, Klaus Schwarzkopf, Georg Thomalla, Wilfried Klaus, Barbara Rudnik, Iris Berben, Fredl Fesl, Karl Dall and Rolf Zacher were quite notable for a children's series.
The show was directed by Ulrich König. The character Pumuckl was animated by Hungarian Pannonia Film Studio. The animation was directed by Béla Ternovszky.
Shooting location was a fictional workshop in the building Widenmayerstraße 2 in Altstadt-Lehel in Munich. The building has since been demolished.
The cinematic movie Pumuckl und der blaue Klabauter (Pumuckl and the blue Klabauter) had already been produced when, in 1999, the series was revived using the new title Pumuckls Abenteuer (Pumuckl's Adventures). The revived series lasted for an additional 13 episodes.

Locations
The shooting for the television series was held in various locations, mainly in Munich.
Meister Eder's workshop was located in a rear building of Widenmayerstraße 2 in Lehel, which was specially refurbished for the filming and then demolished in 1985 after the end of the live-action filming.
The street shots outside the house were against Tattenbachstraße 16, because the traffic was too busy for filming in Widenmayerstraße.
The exterior shots of Master Eder's favourite inn were shot in front of the restaurant "Zum Huterer" in Grütznerstraße, Haidhausen, while the interior shots were filmed in "Gasthaus Kandler" in Oberbiberg, Oberhaching.
The toy store that appears in some episodes was located on Johannisplatz in Haidhausen; today the building houses another store.
The school building in the first season was filmed on Mühlbaurstraße in Bogenhausen.
