The Bogeyman at Christmas? The Background and History of Krampus and Knecht Rupprecht, "Companions" of Saint Nicholas/Father Christmas
The figure of Krampus originally comes – like many other demonic figures of the Alpine region – from pre-Christian times, while his milder counterpart, Knecht Rupprecht, is the assistant of Saint Nicholas, who in the traditions of the northern and central German-speaking area comes on the eve of December 6th. This presentation will delve into the myths and legends of the Krampus/Knecht Rupprecht and similar figures.
