Historical Background

In German folklore, Rübezahl is a mountain spirit of the Karkonosze (or Giant Mountains) range. Legend states that the proper way to refer to this spirit as "Lord of the Mountains" or "Lord John"; referring to it as Rübezahl could anger it. It is perhaps most famously described in the work Legenden vom Rübezahl.
