Sesamstraße or Sesamstrasse is the German-language version of the Sesame Street, a children's television program. It airs primarily in Germany and the surrounding German-speaking nations. The show premiered in 1972. The main character is Samson, a large brown bear that replaced Big Bird. Like Big Bird, Samson is a full-body muppet and is the most important character on the show. For this reason, many children call the show Samson-Straße (Samson Street). Samson likes to dance the mambo.

"Feli Filu" is a reporter for the show, and has interviewed German people for the show, including president Horst Köhler.
