Bernd das Brot

Bernd das Brot (English: lit. "Bernd the Bread") is a puppet character, star mascot, and pop cultural icon of the German children's television channel KiKA, currently featured in the programs Bernd das Brot, Bravo Bernd, and the KiKA late night loop programme. He is primarily characterised by his chronic depression.

Bernd debuted on KiKA in 2000. He became a household name among adult television viewers in 2003 when his broadcasts were played on loop during the hours of 9PM to 6AM, a time during which no regular programming airs. Bernd das Brot has gained a cult status among fans of the series, having earned the Adolf-Grimme-Preis in 2004.
