The VIII. History tells how Eulenspiegel was hired as a babysitter and made a baby puree

Willi Hohnwald

What happens when a medieval prankster returns to the spotlight today? Let's find out.


In this piece, the legendary Till Eulenspiegel is brought back to life in his original form: direct, brash, raw, and brutally honest. He's not the sugar-coated jester of children's books, but a force of nature brought to life.

Under his gaze, no spoken word is safe; language itself loses touch with reality.

As Till navigates the modern world, looking for work and trying to fit in, his nature prevents him. He can't help it: he must play his "jokes," which are less about making people laugh and more about exposing society.
