Are there any strange legends in Germany?

This is a widely circulated collection of jokes. It is said that Oren Spigel was a farmer in northern Germany (present-day Holland), who lived in14th century. He wanders everywhere, and everywhere he goes, he plays practical jokes and satirizes property owners, craftsmen, robber knights, hotel owners, priests, lawyers and some greedy farmers. His behavior reflects the dissatisfaction of the lower class citizens and craftsmen with the ignorant and hypocritical hierarchical system in the Middle Ages and their desire for reform on the eve of the peasant war. Later, jokes centered on this character were written by Thiel Oren Spigel (1483) in Saxony dialect and Thiel Oren Spigel (15 15) in Highland German. Later, German writers hans sachs, Frank Weidkind and gerhardt hauptmann all wrote articles in Oren Der Spiegel.

The life of Dr. john foster.

Faust's real name is Georg chapple and he was born in 1480. He wandered around pretending to be a scholar, magician, astrologer and fortune teller, boasting that he was proficient in alchemy. Living in poverty in his later years, he died at 1540. Later, many legends about wizards and stories about making contracts with the devil appeared around this character. It was recorded in 1570, and the Latin story of Faust was published in 1575. The most complete book is The Life of Dr. John Faust, which consists of 69 chapters and was published in Frankfurt on 1587. Faust in the story book is the son of a farmer in Rhoda near Weimar. He studied theology in Wittenberg and later became an astrologer, mathematician and doctor. One day he made a contract with the devil, and the devil promised to serve him for 24 years, on the condition that Faust must give up his Christian faith and sell himself to the devil. The devil guided Faust to travel around the world, so that he gained all the knowledge that human beings did not get at that time. After 24 years, when the contract expired, Faust left only his eyes and a few teeth in the house, and his body was thrown on the dunghill outside. Later, the students found an autobiography of him, which is said to be the life of Dr. John Faust. The story of Faust was originally circulated among the people, but it was revised by Lutheran monks. People's efforts to explore the universe and life during the Renaissance were regarded as evil. However, the ideological requirements of the rising bourgeoisie in the German humanism and religious reform movement in the16th century represented by Faust's image are still very clear. The book was quickly translated into English, French, Dutch and Czech. Later, the British writer christopher marlowe wrote The Tragedy of Dr. Faust's Life (1589), and the Germans Rudolf Videman and John Nicholas Fitzgerald both wrote stories about Faust. 18th century later, Lessing, Friedrich Miller, f·m· klinger, g·d· Grabots and Ni Lehman also created works based on Faust's stories. The image of Faust was not known to the world until Goethe's poetic drama Faust and thomas mann's novel Dr Faust (1943) came out.

Hilde's Citizen Story

This story book was produced in Alsace and published in 1597. It is called Lalai Storybook, which is a rare, absurd and unheard-of story and behavior of residents in Lalai Fort. 1598 The second edition was renamed Hilde Citizen Tales. In the story, the residents of Hilde are descendants of one of the seven Greek sages, who were hired as consultants by the nobles, but their property was destroyed and they went home. They did a lot of stupid things, such as building a city hall without opening the window, then putting the sunlight in their pockets and falling into the hall at noon; Another example is to sprinkle salt in the ground, and so on. At first, they did stupid things consciously and gradually became a habit. In the end, the whole village became a fool. Hilde's citizen stories are vivid in content, humorous in language, and funny and lovely in characters. Their various pranks show the self-mockery of the citizens' inability to resist all kinds of oppression, and also show that the rule of feudal lords has bound the people's wisdom and suppressed the development of the citizen class. Later, the works with the theme of Hilde's citizens included The Actor (1603) and The Humorous Man (1650).
