Even today, the pirate Störtebeker is glorified as the "Robin Hood" of the poor. The legend persists that the Vital Brother supported the poor and needy with part of his booty. It is also unclear where Störtebeker came from, when he was born and how he got his name, which translated from Low German means "drop the cup". A mention in documents of the city of Wismar suggests that Störtebeker could come from the Hanseatic city on the Mecklenburg Bay.
