The story is about a child in a modernizing world. Where the bad guys are all in black and white and wearing while always smoking (I think they died if they stopped smoking but not really sure about that). I also remember the protagonist modification the blueprint of a building. Not really sure if this was a movie or TV show but it was animated. Im born in 1999 and from germany and it should have ben on TV somewhere around my middle childhood.

No, i looked at the list of german made animations on Wikipedia and couldn’t find it on that list
From the smoking men I thought of Michael Ende’s “Momo”, and they did make an animated movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0299040/ in 2001 as an Italian-German co-production.

Do you think the animation was originally in german language?
