Pumuckl brings color to Lehel: Munich's first traffic light with goblin charm!
A new masterpiece in Munich delights both children and adults: the Pumuckl traffic light! This charming traffic light system was inaugurated on February 6, 2025 at the intersection of Liebigstrasse, Triftstrasse and Wagmüllerstrasse, exactly where the cult TV series “Master Eder and his Pumuckl” was filmed in the 1980s. With the eye-catching design of this traffic light, the city of Munich, supported by the family of the creator Ellis Kaut and the illustrator Barbara von Johnson, wants to promote road safety for children. “The eye-catching design is intended to playfully encourage children on their way to school to pay more attention to traffic lights,” explains the city muenchen.de reported.
A homage to the cult goblin
Pumuckl, the cheeky goblin with red hair, not only ensures safety, but also makes you happy while waiting at the traffic lights. By the end of 2025, two more Pumuckl traffic lights are planned to be installed at the intersections of Robert-Kochstrasse and Sternstrasse as well as Sternstrasse and Widenmayerstrasse. The Pumuckl therefore remains a radiant part of Munich culture and is a reminder of the unforgettable stories that continue to inspire many new fans, as the new Pumuckl series has shown since 2023. The district of Lehel, where the filming of the first series took place, is experiencing a return of the cult character, which has lost none of its charm even after decades vienna.at.
