Bildervortrag mit Buchvorstellung »Digedags und Abrafaxe«

In the organizer's words:

The history of the mosaic by Hannes Hegen.

"Old series" or "new series"? This was often not only a generational question, but also a question of faith for the real fans of this comic. The Digedags and, from 1976, the Abrafaxe - as the heroes of the popular Mosaik booklets were called - were so similar that this dispute may seem surprising today. Created in 1955 by graphic artist Hannes Hegen, Mosaik was the first and most important GDR comic and a socialist alternative to Mickey Mouse and co. The adventures of the three goblins Dig, Dag and Digedag or Abrax, Brabax and Califax offered children and young people access to the wide world outside the time and space of the GDR. In his lecture on the 100th birthday of Hannes Hegen, Matthias Friske takes the audience on an exciting journey through the history of the mosaic, which leads beyond reunification to the present day.
