Otfried Preußler was born 100 years ago - his stories hardly age. “Robber Hotzenplotz” – has been inspiring since 1962 and in 34 languages.
Two children overpower a sneaky but somehow lovable robber. Theater adaptations, radio plays and the big screen also emerged from Preuüsler's ideas. The written word usually appears in black and white. Tonalities and dynamics are left out - a difficulty, the storyteller Otfried. Preuösler in criticism? whitewashing the world.
