Attention Pumuckl fans: If you walk through the Lehel, you can now discover the house in whose backyard the workshop of Munich’s most famous master carpenter was located in the TV series.
A memorial plaque for the popular actor and “Meister Eder” actor Gustl Bayrhammer was unveiled in Lehel on Monday. “He embodied the Bavarian way of life: was grumpy, at the same time lovable and subtle, subtle and comfortable,” said Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) at the unveiling with Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD) on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Bayrhammer’s death. The plaque was attached to the house in Lehel on Widenmayerstraße, in the backyard of which was the workshop of “Master Eder” from the cult series about the goblin Pumuckl.
Bayrhammer, born in 1922, also played works by Ödön von Horváth, Friedrich Schiller, William Shakespeare and especially Ludwig Thoma, whom his father had recommended to him as the “Bavarian Shakespeare”. On television, for example, he played in the ZDF series “Königlich Bayerisches Amtsgericht”, in “Komödienstadel” or as Commissioner Veigl in Munich’s “Tatort”. Bayrhammer died on April 24, 1993 of a heart attack in Krailling, where he lived with his wife Ingrid.
