Reporter Jörg Böckem met with Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog while they were staying at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Berlin to promote Die Muppets to interview them for Die Zeit. Both Muppets posted an essay in the paper's series "Ich habe einen Traum (I Have a Dream)," illustrated with a black and white photo of each, shot on location. Kermit graced the cover of both the newspaper, and its weekly magazine in late March/early April 2014.
