	Hinzelmann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hinzelmann (sometimes called Luring) was a kobold, especially notable for a specific historical account, hailing from northern Germany.
		Hinzelmann was said often to take the form of a child in red velvet, if he had to take any form whatsoever, but his true form (as he showed to a maid once, who instantly passed out) was that of a small child, around four years of age, stabbed and slashed with two swords.
		Hinzelmann was best known for haunting the castle Hudemühlen, after being discovered in 1584.

		But Hinzelmann's very heart was delighted at it, and he used afterwards to tell how it was he that began it, on purpose to set them fighting.
		Hinzelmann was fond of society, but the society he chiefly delighted in was that of females, and he was to them very friendly and affable.
		Hinzelmann is said to have made some verses on the unfortunate lover, and to have often sung them for his amusement, and repeated them to travellers, laughing heartily at them.

	Kobold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most common version, Heinzelmännchen, is similar to Robin Goodfellow and brownies: as household elves of ambivalent nature, they sometimes perform domestic chores, but play malicious tricks if not appeased (Hinzelmann is a particular example).
		Kobold is often used in German to translate the word 'Leprechaun', a type of Irish fairy goblin.
		Neil Gaiman's novel American Gods returns to the traditional legend, depicting Hinzelmann as a benevolent, yet "closet-vengeful-homicidal" spirit that guards an apparently perfect small Wisconsin town at a price.

		And that warning is both clarified and complicated by the people Shadow meets: a bibulous self-styled leprechaun, “Mad Sweeney"; a trio of elderly fortunetelling sisters and a vigorous aged fl man, Mr.
		Hinzelmann is a German household spirit reputedly capable of both benevolent and malicious acts.
		This is the sort of novel in which a Middle Eastern ifrit assumes the identity of an immigrant Manhattan cabdriver; the queen of Sheba amuses herself as a casually murderous hooker; and Shadow’s former cellmate “Low Key” Lyesmith bears a disturbing resemblance to the troublemaking Scandinavian demigod Loki.

	Chapter IX: The Little White Feather.
		"Hinzelmann," said the Kobold solemnly, "was a Spirit who haunted the castle of Hudemühlen, though it was not until late in the sixteenth century that those who lived there were aware of his presence.
		Then Hinzelmann spoke to him with much reason, pointing out that he wished him no harm, and that it was impossible to shake him off, since wherever the lord went, he could follow.
		When the time came for Hinzelmann to leave the castle, he presented its lord with three fairy gifts, the last of these being a leather glove richly wrought with pearls in a curious pattern of snails and scrolls.

	only the gods are real
		Hinzelmann would become very angry, when somebody accused him of being a demon or some devilish creature, he pointed out that he was a Christian boy.
		Hinzelmann left Hudemuehlen after four years had passed and left three things there: a straw hat, a small, hollow cross and a leather glova embroidered with pearls.
		Additionally, the tales that Hinzelmann tells, i.e., the buck jumping out of his skin, Hinzelmann's grandfather freezing his family during the winter, the music from a trumpet freezing then thawing, etc., are generally drawn from the Adventures of Baron Munchausen, a popular book series first printed in 1785.

	Hinzelmann
		actually i read on a site somewhere (sorry cant remember where exctly) that hinzelmann was a kobold, originally from the fl forest in germany.
		Notice how the really long one also mentions that Hinzelmann's real form (when asked) is the four-year-old child with the knives through his chest.
		It had me wondering though: were all the Kobold stories rolled into one when NG created the character Hinzelmann, or are these stories all told about the same mythological creature, once a god, then a spirit, now a kobold (i.e.

		January 11, 2004 05:52 PM Well, Gaiman said it was a god, a brownie is like a lesser thing, something like a woodsprite in Greek mythology if you will.

		Their General Hinzelmann is a nasty piece of work, too.
		The hedgehog armor did considerable damage to their line, until Hinzelmann himself rattled the nerve of the prickly creatures as he slithered by on a huge snake and laid about him with a great, walloping stick.
		Fortunately for the fairy army, Hinzelmann pulled his troops back to regroup for another assault.

		His desire to save the future leads him into the past as he pieces together the tantalizing clues that will reveal his own identity in an endless cycle of life, death and rebirth.
		Nancy, a figure from Caribbean mythology; Sweeney, a rebellious leprechaun; Laura, Shadow’s dead wife who has accidentally been brought back to life; and Hinzelmann, who lives in the idyllic town of Lakeside, where he holds the key to a sinister secret.
		As well as offering his readers a fascinating trawl through lesser known pantheons, Gaiman, who is best known for his Sandman graphic-novel series, pokes fun at the shallow materiality of contemporary institutions.

		Gaiman also continues to be interested in people trapped between the twin agonies of life and death — Shadow's wife Laura both elicits our sympathy and our horror as she alternately tries to win his forgiveness for the indiscretions that led to her death and (quite violently) protects him from harm.
		And as always in Gaiman's work, the line between good and bad blurs often, as characters like the kindly old Hinzelmann turn out to have unexpected hidden qualities.
		Gaiman is skilled at bringing together clues that you won't even notice and surprising you with truly unexpected revelations, some of which make up the book's best moments.

		I'll skip over my slight disappointment at the ending, which I thought was a little poorly handled; the extra little bit with Hinzelmann seemed either superfluous, or poorly placed.
		The anticlimactic nature of Shadow's final confrontation with his father was also a bit of a letdown--for me.

		I remember Abs mentioning something about being annoyed at the plot twist at the end.
		I don't know if she was referring to the thing with Odin playing a game with the gods, or the story with Hinzelmann killing the children.
		The Hinzelmann story I actually rather liked, but it was these kind of subplots that tended to give the book somewhat of a directionless feel to me.

		In her first encounter, she serves to distract from the appearance of Horus as a hawk.
		The second time she meets Shadow, it is part of a diversion planned by Hinzelmann, although we don't discover either one until the end of the book.
		I really enjoyed the way Gaiman sets up the premise for the reader and introduces the old gods, his characterizations of them were very well done rather than cheap and obvious.
