Tölpel - a clumsy person
Hohle Fritte - hollow french fry/chip
That first one seems like it translates to klutz

Oh nice, a new word. Thanks, kind stranger!
Tölpel is originally a species of bird, but you're right, klutz is pretty close in meaning. Origin-wise it's pretty different though: klutz (Yiddish) & Klotz (German) are related, which means klutz is more like a stopping block made of wood/metal.
