Strassenmäuse

Strassenmäuse (Street Mice in English) are a pair of punk rock mice who starred in recurring segments on Sesamstrasse in the 1990s. Designed to teach traffic safety, the sketches took place in a bus where a human family of four (including a son and daughter) lived and drove throughout the city. Father Fritz (played by Joachim Hall, who performed Rumpel in the main Sesamstrasse scenes) built a model city to simulate traffic situations, and this served as the home of the mice Bine and Kurt. The mice performed songs to illustrate the lessons.
The puppets were not actually Muppets, but they later interacted with Samson and the other Sesamstrasse characters in taped segments. A 1995 album Strassenmäuse - Lustige Verkehrslieder was released on cassette and CD on the Europa label, collecting the songs.
The Deutschen Verkehrssicherheitsrat, the German road safety council, helped produce the series.
