Moss people information


Moss people, both male Moosmännlein ("moss men") and female Moosweiblein ("moss women"), as depicted in traditional German wood art from the Vogtland.

The moss people or moss folk (German: Moosleute, "moss folk", wilde Leute, "wild folk"), also referred to as the wood people or wood folk (Holzleute, "wood folk") or forest folk (Waldleute, "forest-folk"), are a class of fairy folk, variously compared to dwarfs, elves, or spirits, described in German folklore as having an intimate connection to trees and the forest. In German, the words Schrat and Waldschrat are also used for a moss person. (Compare Old Norse skratti, "goblin".)[1] The diminutive Schrätlein also serves as synonym for a nightmare creature.[2]
