"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts. |
Germany is a republic in central Europe. It is bordered to the north by the North Sea, Denmark, and the Baltic Sea; to the east by Poland and the Czech Republic; to the south by Austria and Switzerland; and to the west by France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Its capital city is Berlin. The Black Forest is located in southern Germany, which also contains the federated state of Bavaria.
Witches and wizards from Germany
Important witches and wizards from Germany included:
- Rudolph Spielman, Head of Incarceration at the International Confederation of Wizards in 1927.
- Rudolf Brand, Captain of the Heidelberg Harriers in 1953.
- Ellerby and Spudmore, founders of the broomstick company of the same name. Although their company is located in Germany, their names give rise to the suspicion that they are not native Germans.
- Bruno Schmidt, a child who killed an Erkling by hitting it over the head with his father's collapsible cauldron.
Magical games and sports
- In medieval Germany, the ancient game of Stichstock, a forerunner of modern Quidditch, was popular. The players had to puncture an inflated dragon bladder that was tied to a pole with the sharpened ends of their broomsticks. The bladder was defended by another player. The game died out in the 14th century.[1]
- Quidditch became popular on the continent, and thus probably also in Germany, by the early 15th century. The Heidelberg Harriers were a well-known professional German Quidditch team.[2] Their seven-day match against the Holyhead Harpies of 1953 was widely reckoned to be one of the finest ever seen. After the Harpies beat the Harriers, Harriers' Captain Rudolf Brand proposed to the Harpies' Captain and was hit over the head with her Cleansweep Five.
- The broomstick manufacturing company Ellerby and Spudmore resided in the Black Forest, but their brooms were never successful in professional Quidditch.
- Germany also had its own national Quidditch stadium.
- An illuminated manuscript dating back to early Medieval Ages that depicted three warlocks dismounting from their brooms was found in Germany.[3]
