Erfurt is looking for Bernd the bread: where is the Kika icon going?

Erfurt has felt the absence of a well -known landmark in the past few days. The search for "Bernd the bread", the lovable, grumpy figure from the Kika children's channel, has excited the city. There is now yawning emptiness in his former square at the fish market. This discovery is a shock for many, since the statue has been an integral part of the cityscape since 2007 and was a popular place for photos for both locals and tourists.

"Bernd Das Bread" and his influence on the community

The over two meters tall statue of "Bernd Das Bread" not only represented a popular photo spot, but was also a symbol of the city's attachment to the Kika Children's Canal, the headquarters of which has been in Erfurt since 1997. The uniqueness of the figure attracted numerous visitors and contributed to the city's tourist attraction. Children and families in particular appreciated the grumpy toast, which conveyed positive emotions and also caused a smile in bad weather.

A special vacation for Bernd

As announced by the city administration of Erfurt in a press release on Thursday, July 25, "Bernd Das Bread" started his "well -deserved vacation" in the morning. His goal: the urban road operating courtyard, where he is given some beauty repairs from an artist. This timely renewal is particularly important to ensure that it can return in fresh gear - in about three weeks.

The time and future of Bernd

The absence of "Bernd the bread" is of great importance, since the figure has become a landmark for Erfurt in the past. The agencies around the fish market continue to be stimulated, while Pittiplatsch and the tiger ducks step in in its representation, but only for a short time. This situation shows how important cultural symbols are for the sense of community in a city. Such figures not only fill empty places, they also bring people together and promote the exchange between visitors and locals.

Bernds cultural importance

"Bernd the bread" is not just a figure from a television station, but symbolizes art and creativity that children can reach with humor and emotions. The city's commitment to bring Bernd back after his "healthy renewal" shows that these figures are regarded as a cultural heritage and identity of Erfurt. Tourists and locals look forward to taking photos with the statue again and experiencing the returning joy.

In the meantime, the question remains how these small changes and improvements will influence the perception of the city. The return of "Bernd the Bread" will certainly be celebrated, as will the values he represents: community, joy and a piece of childhood.
