Chinto Mari
Chinto Mari is a fairy tale character from the stories of the Sinti . He is described as comparable to the character Till Eulenspiegel .
According to the story, a Sintibub was born in Germany a long time ago , and his parents had him baptized in the name of Marian. He was as lively as five children his age, which is why he was once jokingly called Cinquemarian by the pastor, the "five-fold Marian", which over time became Chinto Mari (or Chintomari). He is known by this name among the Sinti in Germany and many stories are told about him.
