htaccess rewrite urls beginning with same words and ending with different numbers

I searched the web an could not find an answer for this htaccess issue.

I have a broken site with many product URLs like:

de/biegsames-uhrenmannchen-flexi-4102193
de/biegsames-uhrenmannchen-flexi-4102200
de/biegsames-uhrenmannchen-flexi-4102200
de/biegsames-uhrenmannchen-flexi-4102207

I'd like to redirect all URLs to

de/biegsames-uhrenmannchen-flexi

I tried: 

RewriteRule ^de/biegsames-uhrenmannchen-flexi* /de/biegsames-uhrenmannchen-flexi

but with no change. How can I redirect multiple URLs regarding just the first words and ignore everything behind the *?

like: url-bla-bla-bla* --> goes to url-bla-bla

So

url-bla-bla-bla-ui-ui-ui url-bla-bla-bla-oh-oh

--> would be redirected to url-bla-bla.

Every help is appreciated and I am so thankful, since I have to fix thousands of broken URLs.

U could try:

RewriteRule ^de/biegsames-uhrenmannchen-flexi(.*)$ /de/biegsames-uhrenmannchen-flexi [R=301,L]

(.*)$ = everything that comes after de/biegsames-uhrenmannchen-flexi.

[R=301,L] = permanent redirect and the L means to stop applying any rules that follow.
