  • Bruder Rausch ist eine niederdeutsche Satire, in der erzählt wird, wie der Teufel als „Bruder Rausch“ Koch in einem Kloster wird, die Mönche verspottet und ihre Unzucht fördert, bis er schließlich gebannt wird. Die Schrift erschien 1488 in niederdeutscher und 1508 in hochdeutscher Sprache. Auch in Skandinavien und England war diese Sage bekannt. Wilhelm Hertz schuf 1882 aus dem Stoff eine Verserzählung. Möglicherweise besteht eine Verbindung zur Gestalt des Hödeken. (de)

A connection between Friar Rush and Hödekin, a kobold figure of German folklore, was suggested by the Shakespeare scholar George Lyman Kittredge, who noted the connection has been made in Reginald Scott's Discoverie of Witchcraft, 1584. Kittredge (1900) criticizes the then-common identification of Friar Rush with Robin Goodfellow as simplistic. (en)
