hi!
I hope this question isn’t out of place here; it’s directly related to German culture, so presumably I should be okay.
I’m hoping to find out more information about any “wild man” traditions that exist in the northern sections of Germany. if you’re unfamiliar with the concept, check out the [(English) wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_man) for more information.
if you do a Google search you’ll come across all manner of German traditional wild men (e.g. Strohbären, Krampus, Pelzmärtle; forgive me for any mispellings), but the bulk of these seem to feature in Southern German/Bavarian traditions and not those of the Northern sections of the country (well, Krampus is like… multi-national at this point, but you get the idea).
I have the distinct feeling the the majority of the “good” information on these kinds of traditions exists strictly in German sections of the internet. I don’t speak the language (nor have a VPN) so it’s functionally impossible for me to reach, hence my posting here.
thanks an absolute ton in advance for any leads.
