The common grape vines and noses

At the Hofe to H. was associated, for which its guests strangely schimpflich a Gaukelwerk made. After they had eaten, they desired, therefore them primarily come were that it them to the desire a Gaukelspiel state. There it let a vine with early grapes/clusters, whose before everyone one hung grow from the table: any the its was called with the hand attacks and holds and with the other one the knife by the stack sets, as if he wanted to cut it off; but it should not cut at all. It went to Darnach out of the room, came back: there they all sat and held themselves a any the nose and the knife. If they would have cut, everyone would have wounded itself the nose.

The pulling hunter

It carried too that in a large forest of the Foerster, which the supervision led across the fact it was dead-shot. The nobleman, to who the forest belonged, gave to another the service, but a same happened, so still unite and, which followed each other, until nobody more was, which wanted to take over the dangerous forest. As soon as the new Foerster in-stepped, one heard a shot fall completely in the distance, and directly one also stretched meeting ball him in the middle on the forehead down; however no trace was to be made, from where and from whom it came.
      Nevertheless a pulling hunter announced itself again around the service after a few years. The nobleman hid to it not, what had happened, and set it him would be still expressly in addition, so dear to know the forest again under supervision could not it him nevertheless not to the dangerous office guess/advise. The hunter answered confident, it wanted to create itself before the invisible sniper advice, and took over the forest. Other tags, when he accompanied, from several, first, one, as he occurred, was in-led heard the shot fall in the distance. Immediately the hunter threw his hat into the height, which then, from a ball met, again fell down. "now", he spoke, "is however the row at me", loaded his can and shot her with the words: "the ball brings the answer!" into air. Whereupon it asked its companions to go along and look for the author. After long Herumstreifen they found Mueller finally in at the mutual end of the forest lain a mill dead and by the ball of the hunter on the forehead met.
      This pulling hunter remained still some time in services of the nobleman, but because he could festbannen the game and let the field chickens from the bag fly, also in completely unbelievable distance always reliably met and others such incomprehensible feats understood, then the nobleman got a kind horror before him and dismissed him with a schicklichen Vorwande from its service.
     

Doubled shape

A land driver came to a nobleman, who was afflicted with lengthy faint and weakness, and said to him: "are you bewitched, is I you the woman before eyes to bring, you the evil done?" When the nobleman consented, that one spoke: "which woman comes tomorrow into your house, places themselves on the stove to the fire and the boiler hook with the Haend attacks and holds, those is it, which you the wrong done." On the other day the Mrs. one of his subjects, who beside him lived, came an honest and pious woman, and placed themselves there exactly on the way, as the land driver had predicted. The nobleman surprised himself much that a so respectable, gottesfuerchtige Mrs., who he did not ill-want should drive so bad things, and caught to doubt on, whether it happens also quite. It gave therefore secret instruction to its servant to walk and see whether this neighbour at home was or not. When this comes, the woman over its work sits and hechelt flax. It is called it to the gentleman comes, it speaks: "it will not send itself that I step so dustily and ungeputzt before the Junker." The servant however says, it does not have to mean anything, it is to go only hasty with it. As soon as it stepped now into the Mr. Tuere, the other one than a ghost from the hall disappeared, and the gentleman thanked God that he would have him into the sense given, which servants in addition-send otherwise he on the devil deceit trusted and the innocent woman burn to let.

Rebundus in the cathedral to Luebeck

If in old times a cathedral gentleman should die to Luebeck soon, then a white rose was, therefore it to custom in the morning was under its chair cushion in the choir that everyone, how it concerned would turn its equal cushions to look whether this grave notice lies under it. It happened that one of the cathedral gentleman, found named Rebundus, one morning this rose under its cushion, and because it was its eyes more a painful thorn prick than a rose, he took her away swiftly and put her under the chair cushion of its next assessor, although this had already checked under it and had found nothing. Rebundus asked whether he did not want to turn around its cushion. The other answered that he already did it; but Rebundus continued to say: it watched probably not quite and is still once to check, because it beduenke, it something white under it gleamed, as it there looked. The cathedral gentleman would turn his cushion on that and found the grave flower; but it spoke zornig: that is fraud, because he watched directly at the beginning of industriously enough and under his seat no rose found. Thus and pushed he pushed her for the Rebundus again under its cushion, this however wanted her not again to be forced upon to be able, thus that she threw to the other one and a controversy and a violent Gezaenk between them developed. When the chapter struck itself in the means and apart-brings it, Rebundus however at all to admit did not want that he persisted the rose on first had, but on its unwahrhaftigen giving, stroke finally the other one to wish from verbitterter impatience, on: "God wants to give the fact that of us the two, which has wrongly, instead of which roses in the future the indication becomes, and when a cathedral gentleman is to die, in its grave to knock likes, until to the recent day!" Rebundus, which respected this wishing like an empty wind, spoke frevelig in addition: "Amen! It is thus!"
      Since now Rebundus died not for a long time after, it has of on under its gravestones, whenever a cathedral gentleman Ende approached, terribly knocked, and the proverb developed: "Rebundus agitated itself, it a cathedral gentleman will die!" Actually it is not bare knocking, but it happened under its very large, long and broad gravestone of three impacts, which do not crack many more gently, as if the weather would hit or three times a Kartaunenschuss would happen. With the third impact the sound of the length penetrates after by the whole church with so strong cracking that one should think, the gewoelbe in and the church over heap would fall over the gewoelbe. It is then not only heard in the church, but also in the standing around houses vernehmlich.
      Once Rebundus at o'clock moved Sundays between nine and ten in the middle under the lecture and so enormously fastened that some handicraft-associated, which evenly on the gravestone confessed and which belongs to lecture, by strong Erbebung of the stone, partly from frights not differently were partly down-bounced, as if them would have away-struck the thunder. With the third terrible impact everyone wanted to out-flee to the church, in which opinion, her would collapse; the prediger however encouraged itself and called the municipality too, to it-remains and not being afraid; it would be only one devil ghost, which wanted to disturb the service, which one must despise and to him in the faith defiance offer. After some weeks is the Dechants son bleached, because Rebundus raved also, if a cathedral gentleman more near related soon to grave will come.

The night fighter and the shaking women

The inhabitants of the giant mountains often hear hunter call, horn blisters and noise with nocturnal times of wild animals; then they say: "the night fighter hunts." Small children are afraid in front of it and are geschweiget, if one zuruft them: "quiet, doesn't hear is you not the night fighter hunt?" He however particularly hunts the shaking women, who small dressed, in Moos woman flax to be is, pursued and it be frightened ohn omits. Unless they turn out to a trunk of a knocked off tree, such, to which the woods (wood farmer)"God wael's!" (God walte it) spoke. On such wood they have peace. He should have put, say however, as he the axe for the first time to the tree: "Wael's God!" (so that it the word God rear-set), then such a trunk does not give rests and peace to a shaking female, but it must be before the night fighter on constant escape.

The grey Hockelmann

Before many years once a farmer from Auerbach passed in the evening down at the lock mountain. There it was suddenly stopped and forced by a grey man, it to up into the lock too hockeln. On one darken staircase of the lock the farmer the other day one found, how one overtires itself. It died short time on it.

The over-sailing monks

In the city Speyer lived before times Fischer. When this came in one night to the Rhine and wanted to issue its yarn, a man stepped on it too, that carried a black kutte in way of the monks, and after Fischer honouring SAM had greeted him, spoke he: "I come a messenger and would like gladly over the Rhine." - "footstep in my Nachen to me", answered Fischer, "I wants you to over-drive." Since it had crossed and returned now these, still five other monks at the Gestade stood to also sail the desired and Fischer asked modestly: which they traveled nevertheless at so vain night? "the emergency drives us", shifted one of the monks, "the world is us enemy, then take yourself you ours on and God wages for it." Fischer required to know, what they wanted to give him for its work. They said: "Jetzo are poor we, if we again better are, are you our gratitude to feel." Thus the boat operator repelled, like however the Nachen on the Rhine came oneself in the middle, main headers a dreadful storm. Water waves covered the ship, and Fischer plaed. What is that, thought it, with sun fall realized itself and louder the sky, and the moon seemed beautiful, from where this fast tempest? And like it its hands main headers to pray to God called one of the monks: "which you are appropriate, steer God with praying in the ears your ship." With the words it tore it the rudder from the hand and began to strike poor Fischer. Halfdead it lay in the Nachen, the day began to dawn, and which disappeared black men. The sky was clearly like before, a boat operator ermannte themselves, went back and reached with emergency its dwelling. Other tags met the same monks one early from Speyer traveler messenger in a rattling, black-covered car, which had however only three wheels and a langnasigten wagoner. Dismayed if it stood still, by and saw soon that he lost himself with sizzling and flaming into air, heard one left the cars sword blade, as if an army would together-go. The messenger turned, turned to the city and indicated everything; one judged from this face discord among the German princes.

That err-wipe

At the mountain route to Haenlein, also in the area of Lorsch, one calls the erring lights army-wipes; they are to appear only in the Adventszeit, and one has a Spottreim on them: "army-wipe, ho ho, burn as have firstraw, impact me blitzebloe!" Before longer than thirty years, saw a girl is told to one army-wipes and called to it the Spottreim in the evening against. But it approached on the girl straight, and as it and into the house to its parents fled, followed he fled it on the heel, stepped with it at the same time into the room in and struck all people, which were in it, with its fiery wings that them hearing and seeing passed.
