Which model or modular system did Peter Lustig use in this episode?
Hello everyone,
Recently, I watched some Löwenzahn with Peter Lustig with my nieces. In this episode, he used a specific system in his final "attempt" to build a suitable bridge, it seems to me, but a Google search for such modular systems of his time, as well as the attempt to use Google's AI, wasn't entirely successful.
So I wanted to try my luck here, and hope some of the older folks here have memories of such toys (which could well have been made specifically for adults) from…probably the 80s. Although they generally seemed older.
So without further ado, here is the episode in question in the official ZDF Mediathek:

It would be great if someone could at least partially identify this from memory.

Could be meccano, for example. This is one of the oldest brands, since 1898.
There are many systems (actually hundreds) that look almost exactly like that. In some cases, the holes are of different size, with different hole spacing, but all so or so similar. Nowadays there are, for example, eitech in Germany (it has been in construction since 1992). But look almost exactly the same and are usually compatible (stable, for example, not), I cannot distinguish in the short clip without close-up or something.
The preamble to this is metal construction box.
That’s great, because I never had such a metal kit as I would like to change. And as they showed a non-interest in it, I’ll consider her or buy us both one. And the one from the lion’s tooth episode seems to me to be the right one to build my model that I can’t put on the drawing paper.
In fact, Google’s Gemini also mentioned Meccano, just like stable, but I had not found the right box. An oversystemic compatibility would of course be extremely helpful.
Thank you.
Stable is not properly compatible with meccano. But some are compatible with meccano and others with stable.
Meccano is the oldest and very well known internationally. Stable was known for some time in Germany, but doesn’t even know if they still exist. But there are always many alternatives.
Many of these systems are compatible but of course not all
This is a stable kit.
Moin,
look at the Romans, the aqueducts and bridges were built as a bow with a brick.
a technique that has existed for centuries.
