Ernst Bratfisch (puppet)

The puppet of Ernst Bratfisch was one of the wooden puppets created by Gramm using Cyber-Technology.

Being modelled on Ernst Bratfisch in appearance, the puppet could also speak simple phrases with Bratfisch's voice. Given that Bratfisch was a cabdriver, his puppet was ideally suited for the role of a driver of the black cab with puppet horses. Although the horses could drive on their own, the cab attracted too much unwanted attention without a driver.

Following Johan Drossel's orders, puppet Bratfisch found the Eighth Doctor and Mary Shelley at the old location of the Marionettenburg at the Vienna Exposition and drove them to the new location in the house of Count Wittenmeier.

To better pass the puppet Empress for Empress Sisi, supposedly visiting Marionettenburg, puppet Bratfisch introduced her as if she was entering the house from outside.

The puppet's functioning ceased together with that of its creator, Gramm, on 12 September 1873. All remnants of the Cyber-Technology were burned by the Eighth Doctor. (AUDIO: The Silver Turk)
