Sure. There's the story of 'Rumpelstiltskin'. In the German version, the strange little man with his magical powers and his demand for the queen's first - born is quite a creepy element for a bedtime story. Also, some local German folktales that involve haunted castles or forests where strange creatures lurk can be considered horrible bedtime stories. These often have a moral lesson hidden within, but the spooky parts can be a bit much for some kids.

And 'Hansel and Gretel' also has a rather creepy German version, with the witch in the gingerbread house being truly menacing.

There's also the story of 'The Bremen Town Musicians'. Four animals - a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a rooster - decide to become musicians in Bremen.

One Weird German Bedtime Story could be about the little gnome who lived in the old forest. Every night, he would come out and play tricks on the animals.

Another great German bedtime story is 'Hansel and Gretel'. Two children, Hansel and Gretel, are abandoned in the forest by their stepmother. They find a house made of gingerbread and sweets. But it belongs to a wicked witch who wants to fatten Hansel up and eat him. Gretel outsmarts the witch by pushing her into the oven. Then they find their way back home with the witch's treasures.
