Uli von Bödefeld

Ulli Von Boedefeld' was a character from Sesamstrasse, the German co-production of Sesame Street.

Ulli Von Boedefeld (Herr Von Boedefeld, or simply Boedefeld) is a fat pink creature with a long snout and orange hair. He is very melodramatic and will do anything to get his way. He is usually found trying to find peace and quiet in places where he's not supposed to be, like Samson's hammock. People are often annoyed with Boedefeld.

Boedefeld was added to the cast in 1978, during the second year of the German street stories. He was performed by Benita Steinmann. His female voice and looks caused quite a lot of discussion through the years.

Boedefeld was built by the company Fabula Filmpuppen.

When the street set and the puppets were destroyed in a fire in 1988, only Samson, Tiffy and Finchen were rebuilt; since Boedefeld was built by a different company, the producers did not want to pay new licensing fees for him. This meant the end of Boedefeld.
