This is the probably true story of Klaus Störtebeker. We cannot guarantee that these facts are 100% truthful (except the Hamburg bit) and he may not even have been named Klaus… but who cares, the story is fun. So fun that northern Germans put on a stunt show about his life (much like the Waterworld Stunt Show and Karl May Festival Games).
And now you have a fun story to share with friends at parties. You can tell them about the “headless German pirate“ and they will think you are cultured and educated. Unless you are talking to Germans, in which case they will think you are a child.
