Jojo, the Little Water Genie
For our anniversary, we are publishing a specially developed Pixi book. It introduces children and adults alike to mindful water use in an entertaining way. Readers accompany the little heroes—Hannes, a young boy, and Jojo, the water genie—on a time‑traveling journey through the history of our company.
Hannes and Jojo Embark on a Journey Through Time
“Hannes comes home after playing outside and calls out, ‘I’m sooo hungry.’
'The food will be ready in half an hour', Mum says. 'Now clean off your feet quickly in the shower and wash your hands.’
Hannes groans, ‘Do I really have to wash my feet?’
Mum nods, adding, ‘But please don’t let the water run the whole time—we don’t want to waste it!’ ”
Something unexpected happens while Hannes is taking a shower: Jojo, the little water genie, suddenly appears! It’s the beginning of an adventure! And this is where the story of our Pixi book begins.
Back to the Past
Jojo takes Hannes on a journey through time. Together, they discover major milestones in Hansgrohe’s history:
Their adventure leads them back to the year 1901, where they find themselves in the workshop of our company’s founder, Hans Grohe, who is working on innovative showerheads.
The time travel continues: Jojo and Hannes stop at the spray laboratory of the 1980s, where they meet Klaus, the founder’s son. They experience how creatitvity, innovative strength, and design trends have shaped the company over generations.
The Future Within Reach
At the end of their adventure, a special moment awaits them: Jojo, the water spirit, reunites with his own family—in a visionary bathroom of the future! It offers a glimpse into upcoming sustainable bathroom solutions—much to the delight of the water genies.
An Anniversary Gift
The Hansgrohe Pixi book is not available for purchase. It is a special token of appreciation for our loyal customers, partners, and employees.
Jojo’s story brings the history of Hansgrohe to life for both young and old in a unique way—a story that represents our spirit of innovation and teamwork, and inspires mindful water use.
