Finchen is a character on Sesamstrasse, the German co-production of Sesame Street.
Finchen is an orange snail with a yellow shell on her back.
Finchen was added to the Sesamstrasse cast after Samson and Tiffy. She started as a weak, tiny snail who lived in the forest, outside Sesamstrasse. For the past few seasons, Finchen has turned into a younger girl character with a really wild imagination, representing the psychological age of a three year old.
Finchen's original performer was Lothar Klose. For over ten years, Finchen has been performed by Andrea Bongers.
