It's the main character in the novel "Der Wehrwolf" by German romancier Hermann Löns. He leads a bunch of peasants against a horde of marauders in a story that resembles that of "Seven Samurai" or "The Magnificent Seven". Thus his name is a symbol, sturdy and stubborn, like the traditional German Black Metal sound. The lyrics on this album and others are influenced by other authors such as Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith and H.P. Lovecraft, though.

What does the band name stand for? Just curious
