The Murkels in the phan­TECHNIKUM

The Rostock children's song band “Die Murkels” have created a new video format for families. In “Papa Murkel zu Besuch” (Papa Murkel's Visit), Papa Murkel meets artists and visits museums and exciting places and destinations in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This entertaining and valuable presentation motivates children and families to engage in artistic activities themselves or to visit the places presented and discover them on their own. In the latest episode, the phanTECHNIKUM receives a visit from the Murkels.

The program “Die Murkels” is aimed at both people who live in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and families who visit the region. Thanks to the cooperation with Thomas Böhm and Juni Media, the format is shown on the local television stations MV1, Wismar TV and TV Schwerin. In the future, it is also planned to broadcast it on MV-Tourist.TV. This means that tourists could watch Papa Murkel in over 100 renowned hotels in MV and be inspired by his excursions and reports.

The Murkels team also visited the phanTECHNIKUM this week. There was a lot to discover in the exciting rooms of the museum. Many questions about the function and history of important historical machines and people were answered by the museum director Michael Rahnfeld in an interview with Murkels' little blue explorer.

The format fills a gap in the tourism market by targeting children and families in a unique way and looking at the tourism landscape from a completely new perspective for locals and our guests.

 

You don't know the Murkels yet?

Murkels are friendly and shaggy creatures that live in the dunes all over the world. Wherever there are sand and dunes, Murkels are likely to live too. They respect all living creatures on earth and live in harmony with nature. Our little Murkel family lives in a dune on the Baltic Sea beach near Rostock. We love to sing funny children's songs, tell stories and discover the world. Papa Murkel often visits interesting people and places and reports on them in our video format “Papa Murkel zu Besuch”.
