Pumuckl is a Kobold from a German radio play series for children. He is a descendant of the Klabautermänner. He is invisible to people around him except for the master carpenter Eder with whom Pumuckl lives. Pumuckl was invented by Ellis Kaut for a radio play series of the Bavarian Radio in 1961. Later on it was turned into a very successful TV series. Three movies and a musical also deal with the adventures of the little kobold. Pumuckl is one of the most popular characters in children's entertainment in Germany and several generations have now grown up with the cheeky but funny little Kobold.
The adventures of an old-fashioned master cabinet maker in Munich and the tiny red-haired goblin Pumuckl, who becomes visible to him when he gets stuck to the pot of glue in his workshop. The tiny creature is visible to nobody else and full of mischief, and hilarity ensues as objects are seen moving around and the elderly craftsman seems to be talking to thin air.
Master Eder's cousin Ferdinand turns up one day after his death to collect his inheritance. What he doesn't realize is that Pumuckl is also part of his legacy. The goblin soon gets stuck on the glue pot and becomes visible to Ferdinand. He has nothing better to do than tell his nice neighbor about the goblin. This sets off a series of turbulent events that end with the magician couple Magiaro trying to do business with the wondrous little fellow at the circus.
