Hinzelmann
Hinzelmann (also Lüring ) is the name of a goblin as a legendary figure. He is said to have done good, like doing housework . But he could get angry if you irritated him. Hinzelmann appeared without a figure and had the voice of a child. Ludwig Bechstein also mentions appearances in the form of a dead child. His home is said to have been in the Bohemian Mountains . He entered the world of legends primarily through his activities in Hudemühlen Castle in Hodenhagen 1584–1588. In 1588 he left Hudemühlen voluntarily and then settled in Eystrup . Legend has it that Hinzelmann will come back if three conditions are met at the same time: When the cook fills a broken water bucket with a broken ladle, when the dachshund throws a boy under a willow tree and when a child is born with only one eye.
The Brothers Grimm also wrote down the legend of Hinzelmann. They used the book published in 1704:
“ The multifaceted Hintzelmann or cumbersome and strange story about a ghost who can be seen at the Hudemühlen house and then to Estrup in the state of Lüneburg under diverse shapes and surprising changes. 379 p. In 12th first drafted by Pastor Feldmann zu Eickelohe . "
