Where the crocodile came from and how it came to be in Lübeck is unknown. There are no records of this puppet in the KOLK 17 archive. Photos from the exhibition at the old Museum of Puppet Theatre Lübeck only show that it must have come into the collection before 1998. This is the case with many items in the KOLK 17 collection: very little is known about most of them.
