Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, had his portrait painted very often. In the daily quiz of January 11, 2026 we want to know who painted him particularly often. The person we are looking for was an important German painter of the 19th century and one of the best-known representatives of realism. He lent portraits a special authenticity and contributed to the iconic depiction of the Prussian king.
We also have a literature question and are looking for the author who invented Benjamin Blümchen, the talking elephant who is very popular with children. He has many adventures and can be found at Neustadt Zoo, where he works as a mascot. The radio play series with him is one of the most successful German radio play series. He is also available as a comic and cartoon character and in a movie version. Parents may find his “Töröööö” a little exhausting in the long run.
