I love all the information on this site! It’s also so funny as to how I share in all the memories of a German girl growing up in America, It’s so true!
When I was a little girl, my mother and I went to visit family in Germany. My Opa, which lived in East Germany at the time, took me to a shop to buy me a Sandman doll. I still have it and I also found and bought another one in an antique shop in Bisbee, Arizona. I can’t seem to find more information on this once popular guy and I am still trying to find more dolls/items.. Does anyone have any information ? Vielen dank! (Many thanks!)
I will do some digging… I know that there was one in the East, and one in the West.
For now… https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/nov/23/sandmannchen-germany-communist
The Nun was named Walburga with a “B” not a “P” by the church, and nobody really knows who she was.
The Church erased as much of the “old” Germanic celebrations, just as the erased the knowledge of “Herbal Healing” For them the Herbal Healers were just witches.
