 It is a sequel series to 1980s TV series "Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl" (Master [carpenter] Eder and his Pumuckl) and the cinematic movie "Pumuckl und der blaue Klabauter" (Pumuckl and the blue Klabauter).Gustl Bayrhammer, who played Meister Eder in the first series, died in 1993; rather than recast his role, the producers decided to feature characters which had been introduced in the movie, making the movie sort of a pilot to this series, bridging the gap between the events of first series and this one.The show centers around the Kobold "Pumuckl", a descendant of the Klabautermänner.
