Pittiplatsch is probably not only known to children who grew up in the GDR. Now the inventor of the goblin has died: Inge Trisch. She was 89 years old.

Inge Trisch, the inventor of Pittiplatsch and other popular characters on GDR children’s television, is dead. The author died in mid-November at the age of 89, as her son Thomas Trisch told the German Press Agency. Inge Trisch was buried in Berlin on Wednesday. The magazine “Superillu” had previously reported.

Trisch created the little brown goblin Pittiplatsch in a team for GDR television. On June 17, 1962, “Pitti” made his first TV appearance – on the Sandman in Master Needleeye’s tailor’s room. He was cheekier than other characters and indulged in pranks. This made him the favorite of many children.

Inge Trisch shaped characters and programs

As an editor for GDR television, Trisch, a teacher by training, came up with other TV favorites. These included the Berlin brats Paul and Stine and the original cattle. Together with the actress Ellen Tiedtke (1930-2022), she also shaped the children’s show “Ellentie”.
