Burgermeister Meisterburger

Burgermeister demonstrates his irrational hatred of children and toys.

Burgermeister Meisterburger (German for mayor; master citizen) was the main antagonist of the Christmas TV special Santa Claus is Coming to Town! He despises toys, after he accidentally tripped on a toy on the stairs, and will burn any toy that he sees. He is the sadistic mayor of Sombertown, and will arrest anyone who contains a toy.

When Kris Kringle brings toys to the children in Sombertown, he is automatically arrested, after being caught red handed by the evil Burgermeister Meisterburger. He, as well as the toy makers, The Kringles, as well as former redeemed villain The Winter Warlock who became Kris' friend after Kris gave him a toy.

Kris' girlfriend eventually frees them all, they all escape. Kris grows a beard and he is in incognito. Bergermeister Meisterburger never found Kris, and he, as well as the rest of his descendants, died. The townsfolk of Sombertown realized how ridiculous this man's rules were, and they abolished every single one of them.
