Ludwig Bechstein was a really prolific folklorist, and I have translated quite a few of his tales.

One must not forget the German Romantic period, Ludwig II Otto Friedrich Wilhelm of Bavaria (Neuschwanstein), and his court composer Richard Wagner (best known work – Ring of the Nibelung)..

Just think of all the legends there are in the Weinviertel region of Lower Austria!

@Fred_S_at @tuban_muzuru

I haven't read any of the collections about Lower Austria yet, but they are on my list.

sagen.at is a very interesting and comprehensive source. It goes beyond the German-speaking world.

@Fred_S_at @tuban_muzuru

It is, and I have read it in the past.

However, for copyright reasons I stick to digital scans of public domain works these days. I put my translations under a #CreativeCommons Zero license, but the legality of doing so is tricky if the copyright status of the source material is unclear.
