Friedrich Wollweber is a German puppeteer who played Buh on Sesamstrasse, from 1989 until he was phased out around 2002. He also made periodic on-camera appearances, such as playing a crook in Folge 1517 from 1993.

Wollweber played Günni for the first season of the Sesamstrasse spin-off series Eine Möhre für Zwei. For the 2008 special Weihnachten mit Ernie & Bert, he played Santa Claus.
