Fritz Reuter as a Playmobil figure: A unique souvenir in Stavenhagen!

Fritz Reuter, a truly local poet from Mecklenburg, is now offered as a Playmobil figure. This little figure is something like the new centerpiece in the Stavenhagen Museum, where it is exclusively available until further notice. The museum director Torsten Jahn had a whopping 25,000 copies produced - clear proof that the love for the region and its writers is great. That's five times as many as the residents of Stavenhagen!

The clever character took three years to develop. It was originally supposed to come onto the market on the 150th anniversary of Fritz Reuter's death last year. Since then, the museum has presented theater performances based on Reuter's works. A nice gesture: the children of the theater group received the Playmobil figure as a gift, and you can imagine how proud they are to place the figure in their rooms.

A gift for the youngest

Teacher Kati Rockenschuh-Ofcsarik is enthusiastic about the figure and sees it as an excellent way to introduce children to Fritz Reuter in a playful way. The packaging also offers a QR code that leads to a virtual tour of the museum and the city. This allows you to experience the region in several dimensions!

Torsten Jahn is aiming for a new reception for Fritz Reuter and is already thinking about the future: an online shop for the figure could be opened next year, depending on the approval of the city council. On Fritz Reuter's 215th birthday, the Fritz Reuter Literature Prize will also be awarded in Stavenhagen, which underlines the increased importance of this event.

Fritz Reuter and his significance

For many, Fritz Reuter is not only a poet, but also the founder of the Low German literary language. Around 1900 he was the most published author of his time. The Stavenhagen Museum has the largest collection of Low German literary language in its archives and plans to further promote this rich literary history.

Particularly exciting is the news that a reprint of a photo album given to Reuter when he left the city in 1863 is now available as a book. This will certainly make the hearts of more than just literature lovers beat faster!

So if you're ever in the area, don't hesitate to stop by the museum. A souvenir in the form of a Fritz Reuter Playmobil figure could finally enrich your home!
