Following up on the Holger Danske thing. The legend is told to children via a story by Hans Christian Anderson. And I've noticed that the coat of arms of Bergtheim where Brueckner grew up also has the short curved sword/scimitar.
If the sword is ever used ceremonially in the town, maybe CB even took his from his adoptive father or some official.

CB's name on the dark web in the chat about stealing something small etc was
wahnsinn der holger (madness of the holger). So what or who was holger? Well,
Holger Danske (Ogier the Dane) was a:
"
legendary knight of
Charlemagne who appears in many
Old French chansons de geste. In particular, he features as the protagonist in
La Chevalerie Ogier(ca. 1220), which belongs to the
Geste de Doon de Mayence ("cycle of the rebellious vassals").
[1] The first part of this epic, the
enfance[
s] (childhood exploits) of Ogier, is marked by his duel against a
Saracen from whom he obtains the sword
Cortain.
Ogier the Dane - Wikipedia
He was said to have attacked the 72 year old and the Irish woman with a 12 inch "scimitar" which is
a saracen sword.
Can Miya or another German speaker please research the meaning/story behind the coat of arms? Thanks
