''Unser Sandmännchen'', ''Das Sandmännchen'', ''Abendgruß'', ''Sandmann'', ''Sandmännchen'' (''Little Sandman'') is a German children's bedtime television programme using stop motion animation. The puppet was based on the Ole Lukøje character by Hans Christian Andersen. ==Background== Two versions of ''Sandmännchen'' were created: one in East Germany (''Unser Sandmännchen''), and one in West Germany (''Das Sandmännchen''). The original idea came from Ilse Obrig of West Berlin TV and radio station Sender Freies Berlin (SFB), who with the help of author Johanna Schüppel, developed a working version in 1958. ''The Little Sandman'' himself first appeared on screen in West Berlin in ''Sandmännchens Gruß für Kinder'' (''Sandmännchen's Greeting to Children'') on 1 December 1959, and other episodes were soon made. However, on 22 November 1959 (only three weeks after the production had started), East German television (Deutscher Fernsehfunk, DFF) began broadcasting its own ''Unser Sandmännchen'', complete with its own "good night, children" character, also called ''Sandmännchen''. Created by the puppetmaster and director Gerhard Behrendt, the East German show represented everyday life, travel, and fantastic adventure, it was very popular with GDR citizens and after the wall fell, former citizens lamented the appropriation of the beloved cartoon by corporate West German television. The character often showcased socialist technological achievements, such as the use of awe-inspiring vehicles like futuristic cars and flying devices. The production of the West German version of ''Sandmännchen'' ceased in 1991, following the unification of Germany. The East German version was more popular and nowadays airs on reruns. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sandmännchen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
