Why did we choose the name Eulen-Spiegel?

Till Euelenspiegel was a prankster, the main character in a German chapbook ffirst published in 1515. He visited many places throughout the Holy Roman Empire, playing practical jokes on his contemporaries at every step of the way. He loved having fun and he is our rather dubious inspiration!

Eule is the German for Owl -  a symbol of the wisdom we like to believe we have.

Spiegel is the German for mirror -which we hold up so you can recognise yourself.
