Maus and Elephant Sculptures on Anger Square

The Maus is located on the Erfurter Anger and is a popular meeting point in the city center

The program with the mouse is one of the most successful children's programs on German television. The core of the program are so-called laughter and factual stories, which, in addition to short cartoons, also include a knowledge film, for example about the production or functioning of an everyday object. It has been broadcast on Sunday mornings since 1971. The program is produced by WDR in cooperation with other ARD member stations.

The mouse is orange (with brown ears, arms, and legs). In order to solve the problems she is confronted with in the films, she can e.g. For example, they can lengthen their legs as they wish, jump rope with their torn-out tail, or get tools or an alarm clock out of their stomach.

The elephant is blue (with yellow toenails) and smaller than the mouse. He can be characterized as curious, very strong, spontaneous and loyal. When he enters the stage, he usually announces himself with a loud horn. He loves to take a little nap in between and laughs when something has gone wrong with the mouse. He appears in many mouse spots.
