Summary "Rübezahl" by Rosalie Koch is a collection of fairy tales written in the late 19th century. The book centers around the folk character Rübezahl, a powerful mountain spirit known for his magical abilities and unpredictability.

The opening of the collection introduces the legendary Rübezahl as a mountain spirit residing in the Riesengebirge, reflecting on the changes in his territory as human settlements emerge. Initially displeased with mankind, he takes on human form to understand them better. This leads to comedic and moral encounters as he serves various masters, each embodying different human flaws.
