WikiProject Piracy To-do:

A "learning German" mp3 I downloaded from Deutsche Welle claims Störtebeker was born on Rügen. This seems to contradict the claim that little is known about his origins; can anyone corroborate this story? --Saforrest 23:10, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

"Even the name Störtebeker is only a nickname meaning "empty the mug with one gulp" in Old German. (...)(His real name is said to have been Nikolaus Storzenbecher.)"

Störtebeker is the same as Storzenbecher, just different German dialects and both mean "to toss back the goblet"

Richard Hakluyt said that his real name was Henry van Hall. I've also seen Klaus von Alcun quoted, though no source was given. I've not seen any medieval source that calls him anything other than Klaus Störtebeker.
