http://www.pgdp.net  a"Die Deutschen Volksbücher VII: Die Schildbürger - Doktor Faustus" by Gustav Schwab is a collection of folk tales written in the early 19th century. This particular volume focuses on the humorous misadventures of the Schildbürger, a community notorious for their foolishness and naive attempts to solve problems in nonsensical ways. The tales satirize human nature and societal norms through the lens of whimsical storytelling, drawing readers into a world where common sense is turned on its head.  At the start of the volume, the story introduces the village of Schilda and the revered foolishness of its inhabitants, known as the Schildbürger. The text details how their notable wisdom in earlier times led to their downfall as they were continually summoned by kings and nobles for advice, leaving their homes neglected and their families struggling. Recognizing the chaos that ensued in their absence, the women of Schilda unite to summon their husbands back, prompting a series of comedic discussions and attempts to manage their affairs once again. As the Schildbürger return, their collective misreading of common problems sets the stage for absurd and entertaining escapades marked by misunderstandings and the rejection of practicality.
