Im Riesengebirge, wo der ewige Schnee die Gipfel bedeckt, wohnt ein grimmiger Mann mit langem Bart. Rübezahl wird er genannt und erscheint seinem Gegenüber als junger Edelmann, bunter Vogel oder gar als kalter Stein.

Die Geschichten von Münchhausen gehören in die Tradition der Lügengeschichten, die weit ins klassische Altertum und in die Erzähltradition des Judentums zurückgeht. Die Lügenerzählungen des historischen Karl Friedrich Hieronymus Freiherr von Münchhausen wurden von einem anonymen Autor niedergeschrieben und 1781 veröffentlicht. In Form einer englischen Übersetzung, die Rudolf Erich Raspe angefertigt hatte, gelangten sie zu Gottfried August Bürger, der sie zurück ins Deutsche übersetzte und frei bearbeitete.

Wenn man die originale Sprache Bürgers hört, der diese tolldreisten Lügengeschich­ten be­rühmt ge­macht hat...
