Witch Card
The canine witch (has not debuted), with a craving nature. She has taken on the form of a dog in the vain hope of being loved by all. Humans who enter her barrier can't help but embrace her in concern. One hoping to defeat her can do so by feigning love. |
Minions
The canine witch's minions, whose duty is interior design. They have no will and are simply mannequins who revolve in place. A canine witch, unloved by anyone, was unable to create minions with free will. |
History
Original Anime
While Uhrmann doesn't make an appearance in the anime, her familiars do. The Bartels appear in Episode 8 where Sayaka desperately tries to defeat them after discovering she can no longer confess to Kyosuke. All they do is spin and they cannot attack (which is in line with their witch card description).
The Rebellion Story
The Bartels reappear briefly in The Rebellion Story as a part of Sayaka's orchestra. They do nothing but stand or spin.
Magia Record
Uhrmann and her familiars make their first united appearance in Magia Record. Their descriptions are the same apart from Uhrmann, excluding the part 'has not debuted'.
Plot summary

Warning, this section contains spoilers. |

According to the Event Story "Nagisa's Wish Comes True", her human name is Inui Itsumi (伊津見 尹縫). She is curious about a man named Sho (most likely one of the men who met Sayaka in Episode 8), whom she loves. At that time, Mitakihara City is visited by a magical girl calling herself Yu, who is known to others as the "Sleepwalking Ghost" (夢遊の亡霊), and kills people whose names appear on her "bad person" list. One of these names is Sho, who Inui blindly believes to be a good person so strongly that she cannot concentrate on hunting witches. When Yu attempts to kill him, Inui arrives and attempts to fight her, but loses. After her defeat by Yu, Inui's body and soul gem reach their limit. She finally realizes that Kyubey's motive is to make magical girls become witches, but it's too late, and she turns into Uhrmann in the same hospital in which Nagisa Momoe's mother is being treated. Nagisa soon thereafter attempts to defeat Uhrmann in order to demand gratitude from her mother, but ends up failing and fainting. Eventually, Uhrmann is killed by Yu. |

Observations
- Uhrmann and Bartels are German family names instead of given names
- The Bartels' labyrinth in the television version of Episode 8 had a blue-green patterned background. In the BD version and later, the labyrinth was changed to be fully black with coloured sparkles. This design is the one used in Magia Record
- Uhrmann tail has a Bartel like doll at the end of it, that lasts for a while before disappearing like the main body when defeated in Magia Record
* This may be the witches true body with the dog like body being the one it took the form of to be more appealing to others
Trivia
- Magia Record is the first instance of this witch being animated
