Green Man Pages - Other Locations
On this page are Green Men in towns where either there are not enough to warrant a separate page or I have not yet done a complete search of the town. I am very grateful to my 'Green Man hunter' contact, Monika Bunte and to my enthusiastic colleagues for their photos and information on Green Men that they have found in Germany. If you have found any Green Men in Germany, I would be most grateful for photos and information. Please email me at: 
Altenberg Dom. There are two corbels here, opposite each other in the nave. I found these when I played a concert in the cathedral. Photo from Maddy Aldis-Evans

A wonderful wild-wose Somewhere in Niederrhein. Monica isn't sure where it is. It is either in Marienbaum, Emmerich Martuiskirche or Pfalzdorf. Photo by Hedwig Jessberger

Koenigslutter. I wonder if this is not a Green Man but rather a Hydrus. Stories about the Hydrus can be found in the Bestiaries. It represents Christ's victory over evil and is often seen on fonts as a symbol of salvations. Could the hares savaging a woman in the carving above also have Hydruses coming out of their mouths. The hard is a well documented symbol of lust and lascivious nature. Perhaps the Hydrus is trying to purify lust in this carving. Compare this to the very similar, though cruder carving in Nuernburg
Soest Hohnekirche. Below archway on main entrance. Photo by Matthias Bunte
Soest Hohnekirche. Photo by Matthias Bunte. Monika calls this carving a Green Man. Certainly he has foliage, but I think this carving, especially as it is on the outside of the church, is probably an exhibitionist figure. (Known as Sheena-na-giigs when they are female.) See the excellent website ' Satan in the groin' for more information
