Rolf Zuckowski is a German songwriter for children. Since 1979 his Schulweg-Hitparade, the school-route hit parade, has taught children how to behave in traffic. The car magazine Auto Bild called it die musikalische Bibel der deutschen Verkehrserziehung, the musical bible of German traffic education. Its best-known songs are Mein Platz im Auto ist hinten, my seat in the car is in the back, and Zebrastreifen, zebra crossing. A child knows to stop at red and to sit in the back of the car, the magazine wrote, from Rolf Zuckowski. For expert advice, Zuckowski went to the police traffic instructor at his daughter’s primary school and to the German Road Safety Council. His reason: Ich konnte ja nicht einfach so drauflossingen. I could not just start singing without knowing.
