Lutzelfrau

Lutzelfrau walks the twelve nights between midwinter and the new year, when work is kept still, and inspects homes. She comes down the chimney or the stair and lays a hand on the wheel, the loom or the bench to see whether it is cold or warm. Districts that tell her story leave the work in the shed.
