Der Räuber Hotzenplotz und die Mondrakete

In the organizer's words:

A black hat with a red feather, a big nose, seven knives and a pepper gun - that's the notorious showcase villain, the robber Hotzenplotz. Otfried Preußler invented him almost 60 years ago, and since then young and old have known and loved the lovable scoundrel, whom Kasperl and Seppel have always put a stop to in the end. This time too:

Chief Constable Dimpfelmoser has a problem: once again, the notorious robber Hotzenplotz has broken out of the fire station. What a shame! Dimpfelmoser immediately declares a state of emergency. But the clever rascals Kasperl and Seppel have an idea: everyone knows that the robber can't keep his hands off gold and silver. And isn't the moon made of silver? It would be great if Hotzenplotz could simply be shot to the moon. The two of them quickly start building an ingenious moon rocket...

Where better to tell a story about the moon and a rocket than in a planetarium? Nowhere else! Children aged 5 and over and adults alike will enjoy the lovingly illustrated radio play, whose visuals unfold larger than life on the large planetarium dome and whose sound is played in excellent surround sound. As soon as the robber is caught, the planetarium visitors also learn in a short excursion what the moon is really made of and how real astronauts manage to reach the moon.

When Otfried Preußler invented his robber Hotzenplotz almost 60 years ago, he probably had no idea that his books would sell over 6 million copies and be translated into 34 languages. With "The Robber Hotzenplotz and the Moon Rocket", a new episode from the robber's life is now in circulation. Its discovery in 2018 - five years after Otfried Preußler's death - was a sensation. Originally written by him as a puppet show, it was expanded by his daughter Susanne Preußler-Bitsch into a read-aloud story.
