Winnetou is one of the best-known novels written by the German author Karl May. His heroes Old Shatterhand and Winnetou are very famous literary characters in Europe and quintessential examples of Ideal Hero and Heterosexual Life-Partners. Although May only traveled to America himself after his novels became successful, the novels are famed for their accuracy in geographic terms. All trips and journeys of the main character can be followed in an atlas. Accuracy of many other things is not to be taken for granted.The character who is here called "Charlie" or "Old Shatterhand" previously featured in May's Orient Cycle, in which he adventured in the Middle East under the name of "Kara Ben Nemsi".Several of the novels have film adaptations made in Germany in the sixties. The Treasure of Silver Lake was the first film of the series; it proved successful enough and spawned a film series. The movies were parodied in Der Schuh des Manitu.

comment
A Taste of the Lash: In "Old Surehand", "General" Douglas receives a lashing from his own partner-in-crime Old Wabble, as punishment for stealing Winnetou and Old Shatterhand's weapons. Later on, the two criminals are die-hard enemies, and Old Wabble gets the opportunity to give him a second beating. Old Wabble's gang of hired outlaws receive a similar punishment earlier for trying to kill the heroes (though it's carried out using thin young shoot branches instead of whips, the principle is the same).

Greek Fire: It never appears in-story, but apparently Winnetou had invented something like this during his youth (before the start of the series). It's implied that his name (which translates to "Burning Water" according to "The Son of the Bear-Hunter") was gained because of this. Talk about What Could Have Been...

The Trickster
 Winnetou / int_185ea595
comment
The Trickster: If you step back and take a really good look at Old Shatterhand, you realise he's this, especially after he grows up a bit. He's always much more clever than the people around him, he's a consummate liar with a frightfully innocent face, is a truly honest man who nevertheless is willing to occasionally use (somewhat) dishonest means to reach his goals (though usually only when lives are on the line), always favors cunningness and yes, trickery instead of brute strength, if it does come down to using brute strength he is always able to somehow defeat much more powerful adversaries, is using Obfuscating Stupidity as often as he can, mostly to obtain information, does not admit to his true identity for various reasons, and sometimes just For the Lulz. He is often accused of having made a deal with the Devil/Evil Spirit because of how things always go his way. Both friends and enemies have called him "as cunning as a fox". (On a meta level, author Karl May must have been well-acquainted to the tales of Reineke the Fox, and was something of a real-life Trickster figure himself.)

City Slicker
 Winnetou / int_18ac6155
comment
City Slicker: In one form or another, this is what Old Shatterhand repeatedly gets mistaken for as a plot point, even long after he's become famous in the West under that name. Mostly because he actually does buy clean new clothes and the like every so often, uses his nom du guerre only when he means to impress (and his plain old German given name otherwise), isn't above sometimes coming up with a quick fib about his identity for various reasons, and of course for all the fame attached to his name most people still simply don't know what the actual man behind it actually looks like. And what he looks like is actually not very impressive - an unassuming, average-sized, friendly and polite young man, with hands that seem to be "as delicate as a woman's" does not exactly lead a seasoned westman to believe this is Old Shatterhand, who everybody imagines to be at least a 7-feet tall mass of muscles. (He also explicitly begins his future career in the West as a "greenhorn" — using that very word — in Winnetou I.)

Scavengers Are Scum: Native Americans are portrayed as despising coyotes, mostly for being cowardly scavengers. Guess what one of the most common insults thrown in Winnetou and Old Shatterhand's faces is (usually when they do something clever to avoid fighting and bloodshed). Of course, one should take into account the whole Trickster symbolism associated with Old Shatterhand (he's a fox, while Winnetou tends more towards a raven).

Pay Evil unto Evil: Winnetou's initial choice, before Old Shatterhand talks him out of it and into full-blown idealism. He does it to several other characters from both the Wild West and the Orient Cycle. In fact, Charlie is generally a "bad" influence to most of his long-term companions.

Heterosexual Life-Partners
 Winnetou / int_1dfbbf31
comment
Heterosexual Life-Partners: The friendship of Old Shatterhand and Winnetou is incredibly strong and they trust each other completely. Both have loved a woman very deeply, but both have lost them, so they only have one another as family which adds to the closeness. They call each other "my brother" and they always read each other's thoughts. In the books, Winnetou was in love with Ribanna when he was still a teenager, and the circumstances in which he lost her were a lot more tragic. And while Old Shatterhand cared a lot for Nsho-Tchi, respected her and admired her, he wasn't in love with her. And wasn't interested in marriage with anyone at that point, anyway. So by the time they meet, and especially after Winnetou's family dies, they are each other's everything. In fact, Winnetou himself tells Old Shatterhand, shortly after the murder: "You know what I have lost. From now, you be my father and my sister. I beg of you, Scharlih."

Back-to-Back Badasses: Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, once. The rest of the time, they fight side by side. Or, most likely, on physically opposite sides of a trap where they lured their enemies-of-the-week. Dick Hammerdull and Pitt Holbers in "Kapitän Kaiman/Der Corsar" (an earlier story with somewhat tentative connection to the rest of the canon; it does feature Winnetou, but not Old Shatterhand).

Enraged by Idiocy: Charlie usually has a lot of patience, but even he has his limits. Standing out are his rant to Old Surehand about Old Wabble's latest bout of stupidity, his rage at Halef during a bear hunt in Orient Cycle, and his threatening another guy with a gun for not wanting to let Judith Silberstein marry an Indian chief in order to ensure their peace — and her wealth.

Verbal Tic: Most Plucky Comic Relief characters have one. Sam Hawkens' constant "If I'm not mistaken, hihi!" became a catchphrase. Old Wabble's "It's clear" comes close. It's mostly overlooked, but... count how many times Old Shatterhand says or thinks "that goes without saying". Or "what happened next can not be properly described".

Guile Hero
 Winnetou / int_2a02e5c9

Guile Hero: Old Shatterhand is a classic example. And Winnetou has quite a few shining moments as well, mostly in Charlie's absence. At least two of them are good enough to send Old Shatterhand into fits of admiration, while one is such a case of Refuge in Audacity that he can hardly believe it worked. For the curious: Winnetou obtained some very sensitive war intelligence from two Comanches (who were the perpetual enemies of the Apaches), by pretending to be a Kiowa warrior. Not even Charlie can figure out how he managed to convince them of that. He eventually concludes that "Their souls must have been absent."

Peace Pipe
 Winnetou / int_2bce38f7
comment
Peace Pipe: This is a popular conclusion of many stories involving Native Americans. Focused on a bit more than usual in the late novel "Winnetou's Heirs", in which the by then older main protagonist wonders how his wife, who usually doesn't smoke at all and even got him to drop the habit, will handle the experience. (With aplomb, it turns out, even though the tobacco does get to her a bit.) "Satan and Iscariot": In one instance of the usual "sneaking around enemy Indian camp at night to gather info about our latest imprisoned friends", Old Shatterhand comes across some very passionate smokers. We also find out that, despite being a heavy smoker himself, he is not at all fond of the hemp they were smoking, which had an unfortunate side-effect of making him sneeze. He manages to overcome the impulse, but it certainly puts all his previous displeasure at the whole pipe-smoking thing into (hilarious) perspective...

Quintessential British Gentleman: Karl May lived at a time when wealthy British globetrotters were a common trope, so some characters of this type appear in his works. The Scotsman Lord Castlepool in "Der Schatz Im Silbersee" is obsessed with making wagers and travels through the Wild West in search of adventure, paying his guides 50 Dollars per adventure. (He can be pretty badass when it comes to it, but this aspect of his personality was downplayed in The Film of the Book in favour of more Plucky Comic Relief characterisation.)

Horse Jump
 Winnetou / int_370b6d66
comment
Horse Jump: Hatatitla and Iltschi occasionally do this. In "Holy Night!", Old Shatterhand led an entire tribe of Upsarokas on a rather wild chase through their own camp, where he had been brought as a prisoner together with his companions. During the chase, Old Shatterhand has his hands tied behind his back and his feet tied under Hatatila's belly, making his hair-rising running around and through tents and other obstacles twice as dangerous — and that's not counting the Natives chasing him. (They pretty much trash the camp, too. Feathers and bits of cloth flying everywhere.) They jump over various objects, bushes, tree trunks, low stone walls, through a couple of small forests, and back to the camp, stopping on exactly the same spot he initially left from, while his 6oo followers skid and pant to a much less graceful abrupt stop around him. In "Old Surehand", a tied-up Apanatschka gets his own Crowning Moment of Awesome when he manages a very dangerous and spectacular horse jump over Old Wabble, who is also on horseback at the time. The point of the skirmish had been to remove Old Wabble from between Apanatschka and his mother. Old Shatterhand, who had been the protagonist of an impressive horse trick himself just a bit earlier, comments that Apanatschka's jump was much more ambitious than his own had been, and he was more than a little worried for his friend, not so much for the jump itself, but for the landing afterwards, which is always the most dangerous part.

Face Death with Dignity: Pretty much everyone who is not a Dirty Coward, though usually death itself is avoided. Old Shatterhand is more of a Defiant to the End type if he's irritated enough, but if his attackers treat him respectfully, he responds by not insulting them. But the award on this one must go to Winnetou, who not only predicts his own death with painful clarity and makes plans for both his own burial and the fulfillment of his will, but has to face Charlie's tearful denial and despair at the news to boot.

Mounted Combat: Extremely rarely used, and then mostly one-on-one. And they never stay mounted for long. Horses are used for speedy chases, or for hunting. Realistically, trying to shoot someone while running at full horse-speed it's a bit on the difficult side. Even Old Shatterhand has to stop and aim first.

Adaptational Comic Relief
 Winnetou / int_3d64e6e9
comment
Adaptational Comic Relief/Adaptational Wimp: Old Wabble in the novels Old Surehand I and III is a badass frontiersman and Indian fighter; starting out as a companion to Old Shatterhand and Winnetou, he becomes their rival and then an outright villain who tries to kill them, making him one of May's most interesting characters. In the films Old Surehand and Der Ölprinz he is much younger and merely Old Surehand's clumsy comical sidekick. Sam Hawkens in the books is one of the best white scouts there are, and Charlie credits him with being his second best teacher after Winnetou (and the first to teach him the ways of the West). His eccentric ways are often simply Obfuscating Stupidity. In the films, Sam does not really get to teach Old Shatterhand anything, and increasingly tends to serve mostly as bumbling comic relief.

Going Native: Played straight with Klekih-Petra, Winnetou's teacher. Born in Germany, disillusioned with the world and even God, he finally settles with the Apaches, who treat him very kindly and respectfully. Even though he doesn't think the Native Americans have much of a fighting chance against the white people in the long run, he chooses to stay with them and help them as much as he can. Happens to a degree to his spiritual successor, Old Shatterhand. Also a German, but much more younger, still full of optimism and wanderlust, he repeatedly refuses to stay with the Apaches permanently, despite having taken to the native life Like a Duck Takes to Water.

First-Name Basis: Old Shatterhand's closest friends can call him Charlie (or Charley). Winnetou takes it one step further and adapts the name to "Scharlih", which Old Shatterhand seems to be positively enamored with. The fact that the change comes at a distinctly dark and painful moment for Winnetou (after his father and sister are murdered) as well as the contextual conversation where this happens only serve to deepen the meaningful development of their relationship.

Flower Motifs: Martha Vogel chooses to wear a scabiosa (or pin-cushion flower) in her hair during her first concert. It symbolizes an "unfortunate love" (her love for Old Shatterhand). It's not made clear whether she chose that flower on purpose to give him a sign, or if Fate was mocking her before letting her know her love was truly doomed. (In either case, he does notice the flower.)

Cold-Blooded Torture: What most people who fall prisoner to the Indians can expect, whether they are white or red. It's pointed out that the whites are guilty of similarly bloody and brutal treatment of their own prisoners. And when it comes down to it, Old Shatterhand himself is capable of this — though he only practices psychological torture. Still cold-blooded enough not to cave at the victim's pleas, though.

Stubborn Mule: Mary, Sam Hawkens' mule. She is captured at the beginning of volume one, and trying to tame her almost kills Sam faster than the bison who had killed his initial horse, and takes more effort out of Old Shatterhand than the fight with the grizzly bear. The only reason he wins is because he is a very stubborn bastard himself. (He's half dead on his feet by the end, though.)

Honor Before Reason

Honor Before Reason: Yes. A lot of time, a given word to stay put is the only thing that holds Old Shatterhand in place, when iron chains fail to do the trick. In a way, this is responsible for Winnetou's death too, since he refuses to lose his self-respect by trying to avoid his foreseen death. And it's the reason why Old Shatterhand doesn't simply knock him out and stash him somewhere safe until the danger passes — he is well aware that Winnetou would crumble morally under the guilt.

Shirtless Scene: Many, though Winnetou is the only one getting the flattering descriptions. Old Shatterhand himself tends to get comments along the lines of "puny weakling" whenever he undresses for a duel, but since his opponents tend to fall into the 8-feet-tall giants packed with muscles category, that doesn't really offer much real information about his own condition except, well, "smaller than them".

Exact Eavesdropping: Seen quite a lot; sneaking up and eavesdropping on both strangers and known enemies is usually a major source of plot-relevant information in the novels. Somewhat justified in that many characters especially in the West are in fact presented as wilderness-savvy scouts and hunters who know quite well how to do just that.

Becoming the Boast: In a way, Old Shatterhand officially receives his nom-du-guerre a bit earlier than it would have probably been justified, mostly because Sam Hawkens needed to impress a bunch of Kiowas (though he had definitely proved himself strong enough and more than reasonably skilled, still he lacked the needed experience). He grows into it very quickly, though. On a Meta level, Karl May himself might be considered this. He definitely became as moral as Old Shatterhand by the end of his life. And then there's that part about how he escaped those two police officers by knocking them out while handcuffed...

Coincidence Magnet: Old Shatterhand. Mysteries that have lasted millenias, secrets that have been buried for decades, hidden identities, faked deaths, fugitives across two or three continents, he stumbles upon all of these and more, and he solves them (mostly) without trying, because he happens to be at the right place at the right time, or do the right thing for the right person. Watching several coincidence trains-of-events converge upon him at the same time can be quite fascinating.

Friendless Background
 Winnetou / int_4a57732a
comment
Friendless Background: Old Shatterhand, despite being quite friendly as a person, actually has practically no friends before coming to the West, and no one as close as Winnetou. Of course, he is a recent immigrant, and it does not take him that long to make new friends once he finds himself in an environment where he can be himself (something his previous occupation as a private teacher clearly did not allow him, limiting his talents to the intellectual side).

Downer Ending: In a way, the end of the "Winnetou" trilogy is this. Yes, Santer is finally dead. But so is Winnetou, his will is destroyed, his gold is lost for good, and Charlie is pretty much an emotional mess (not that he notices it much). Of course, years later, "Winnetou's Heirs" is published and we find out that not everything is as it seems...

Good Scars, Evil Scars
 Winnetou / int_4efc4fae
comment
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Given the sort of life he leads, the fact that Winnetou has no scars whatsoever should tell you something. Old Shatterhand has several (that are discussed in-story): the wound through the throat/tongue that Winnetou gave him in the first novel. It's the sort of scar that should make him instantly recognizable by anyone who knows the story (lots of people), but since it's in such a hard to spot place (practically under his jaw) and he often sports a beard, you'd have to already suspect who you're talking to in order to even think to check for it. There is apparently also a small one on his arm from the blood-brother ritual with Winnetou, but it only shows up once, in one of the latter stories, and Winnetou still doesn't seem to have one. (Also, the account of the ritual specifically mentions that the blood-letting came from an insignificant, superficial prick of the knife, that by all rights shouldn't leave any sort of scar, especially not one recognizable after so many years). A more classic example appears when Old Shatterhand meets Sans-Ear and has to prove who he is. Sans-Ear knew the story of Charlie's encounter with a particularly angry grizzly bear who had surprised him in his sleep and had wounded him pretty badly before getting killed. Charlie promptly does a half-striptease (he has to go through three layers of nice clothing to get to skin) to provide the evidence: a scar that goes pretty much diagonally across his torso, from shoulder to the opposite hip. (He is also quick to point out that Winnetou was the one responsible for neatly putting back together what appears to have been a pretty bloody mess.) He also takes a bullet to the thigh in "Old Surehand" which presumably ended up in a new scar, but we only see the wound while it's still new.

Strawberry Shorthand

comment
Strawberry Shorthand: Well, according to one side-story (and Karl May himself), Old Shatterhand definitely seems to like strawberries (and other sorts of berries), enough to go to the trouble of breeding a giant hybrid species in his own garden back home. Judging by an off-hand comment, part of them are used for his lemonade. On the symbolic level, though... you can't exactly call him "innocent", though he is definitely going out of his way trying to be good. "Eccentric" might be closer, but not in the classic head-in-the-clouds-can't-remember-the-time sense. (He's too pragmatic for both of those.)

Undercover Cop Reveal: Sort of. In "Winnetou III", Thick Fred Walker is an undercover detective as well as a legitimate Westman, but Charlie sees through his cover very quickly and warns him to be more careful. Then again, Charlie himself was quickly figured out by Old Death in "Winnetou II" as a more-or-less-undercover detective in search of a couple of fugitives — but he was still rather young and inexperienced back then.

Book Dumb: Most of the Westmen, regardless of their actual intelligence levels. Averted with Old Death, who mockingly tells Charlie that he did have a high-level education... and that he remembers amusedly what an arrogant idiot he used to be. Averted with Winnetou himself, as well. While he did not go to any official schools, he and his sister were equally home-schooled by the highly-educated Klekih-Petra. As he grew older, he pretty much learned by himself, and later on Charlie served as a walking encyclopedia on whatever subject Winnetou might have wanted.

Adaptational Modesty: In the novels, Winnetou appears naked in a couple of scenes (usually ones that involve swimming), but don't expect that to happen in any of the many, many adaptations (both movies and open-air theater festivals). The same goes for Old Shatterhand (and other secondary characters), but they don't get even a hint of a description, and even in Winnetou's case they are minimalistic and focused on his actions rather than his looks.

Tonto Talk: Mostly subverted. There are some stereotypical words, such as "iron horse", "fire water" and "howgh", but otherwise most Native Americans speak English well-enough, or at least they speak the lingua franca of the Wild West (which is described as a mix of English, Spanish and various Indian dialects). Naturally, some of them also know the languages of neighboring tribes. Most Indians are noted as skilled orators (especially tribes' chiefs or certain "medicine men"). And then there's Winnetou, who is usually such a silent type, but turns out to be the most skilled speaker of all men, red or white or whatever color you may please. Old Shatterhand (who is no slouch in the talking department himself) is always awestruck whenever he gets to hear Winnetou speak for longer than 5 minutes. His descriptions of Winnetou's voice, vocabulary or rhetorical style can go a little overboard on occasion.

Even the Guys Want Him: Winnetou, at least as far as Old Shatterhand is concerned... And Charlie himself ends up being the subject of many men's devotion and excessive affection, if not outright want.

Police Are Useless: Most of the time, sadly, though Charlie does try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Averted with Treskow in Old Surehand; he is (naturally) nowhere near as capable as our main heroes, but very diligent in his duties, pursuing a criminal all the way to the Rockies (from Missouri) with the protagonist group. He also shows knowledge of various relevant old criminal cases.

Forced to Watch
 Winnetou / int_5af55436
comment
Forced to Watch: In "Treasure of the Silver Lake", Charlie and some companions fall prisoners to the Utahs. They are forced to watch as other prisoners, who were hardened criminals, were brutally tortured with knives and eventually killed with dogs. They avert their eyes, but can't also cover their ears... In "Satan and Iscariot", Charlie tells Emery Bothwell about one of his and Winnetou's earlier adventures, which included them and a group of travellers suffer from thirst while crossing the Llano Estacado. While weakened, they are all captured by the Comanches. While there was no current conflict, the Comanches decide to burn them at the stake anyway. They start by killing the other travellers, while Winnetou and Charlie are forced to watch. Their fury at the sight gives them the needed impulse to not only escape in an extremely bold manner, but also that they come back to take revenge — one rare exception to their usually "forgiving-your-enemies" policy. For his part, Emery is more creeped out by Charlie's calm and casual retelling of the events, which in themselves were unusually gory.

Brownface: In-universe, Lothaire Thibaut who poses as the Comanche medicinman Frenchman Pierre Briece as Winnetou. Granted, Brice didn't need much make-up, as he has naturally bronzed skin, and Winnetou is always described as looking more like a Roman with lightly bronzed skin rather than a Native American. All the other Native Americans in the films were also played by European actors, most often from Southern European countries.

Humble Beginnings: Old Shatterhand, made particularly clear by his experiences as a poor student in "Holy Night!". It also becomes apparent there that this is partially the reason for his overwhelming altruism, as he grew up in a poor mountainous region and help from others was just as vital to him as his help was to others.

Drink-Based Characterization: Old Shatterhand (and every other good character that ever appears) will invariably order beer. In many cases, it mostly underlines their German nationality. In Old Surehand, Dick Hammerdull's character-defining order of beer also includes refusing the offer of a mint julep.

Pretty Boy: Winnetou is nearly this. The narratorial description manages to make it clear that he is visibly a badass, but other characters occasionally misjudge his lithe physique and beautiful features as "weak". Naturally, the Curb-Stomp Battle that soon follows such observations sets things straight pretty damn fast.

Author Avatar: The hero of a Karl May novel is often this (many are also written in first-person narration). A common misconception in-story is that "Old Shatterhand" had acquired his nickname on the basis of great stature and physical strength (while May himself had been a small thin guy). In fact, whenever there is a description of Old Shatterhand in the text, he is described as being "average height, average build", with "hands as slender and as white as a woman's", making his strength come off as even more of a surprise. Those who know about May's conflict with the Law are also aware of how he escaped police custody. (Yes, he knocked his two guards out, while in chains.)

Canon Welding: Karl May started with serialized stories which he later reworked into books, which sometimes required altering characters, elements and the context of a scene. For instance, in the serialized stories there are two different accounts of the first meeting of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand: In his first appearance in Winnetou, der rote Gentleman he meets Old Shatterhand in a saloon, in the one that became canonic in Winnetou I, the two first met when Shatterhand was working as a surveyor for a railroad company and Winnetou and his father Intschu tschuna wanted to stop them from building a railroad through Apache territory. The scene in the saloon was then recycled in Winnetou II with Winnetou pretending he did not know Old Shatterhand because the latter was accompanied by Old Death.

Cynicism Catalyst: Tragic events are in the past of most people in the Wild West. Some point out to Old Shatterhand that if he had lived through similar pain, he wouldn't be quite so idealist.

comment
And the Adventure Continues: There is almost no finality to any of the books, they either blend one into the other, or are left open-ended, with a few mentions regarding some of the characters. Often, Winnetou and Old Shatterhand aren't even mentioned in the last pages.

I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: "Devil's Head", part of the Climbing Climax in "Old Surehand". "Devil's Pulpit" in "Winnetou's Heirs". Charlie's wife Klara mentions the trope practically verbatim. Charlie thinks it sounds "romantic". He also points out that lots of places in Germany have similar names.

Kick Them While They Are Down: Done figuratively, but also quite literally, whenever Winnetou and Old Shatterhand happen to fall prisoners to whatever enemy they have at the time. If they are tied up and laid on the ground, they will get kicked sooner or later. It's the icing on the cake of contemptuous speeches they get at the same time.

Horsing Around
 Winnetou / int_7c8a4602
comment
Horsing Around: Played with. Hatatitla and Iltschi are very loyal and docile with their masters. Anyone else, though, is in for a world of pain and humiliation. Most Native-American-bred horses tend to be very difficult to manage even if you are familiar with their particular training routine. On the other hand, a lot of the White hunters have odd-looking, nag-ish horses that no one in their right mind would even try to steal, who prove to be dangerously capable to their owners and so plain dangerous to strangers that Old Shatterhand doesn't even try to get close to, say, Sans-Ear's mare, Tony.

In "Winnetou IV", the "receiving room" in Tattelah-Satah's castle has a collection of weapons, most of them recognizable to Old Shatterhand because they used to belong to old acquaintances of his and Winnetou's.

Establishing Character Moment: Winnetou's first appearance involves him being fair-minded, brave, stoic, quiet, and beautiful. It doesn't change one iota during the following 20-odd volumes. (Well, he gets a bit more open about showing his affection, but that's about it.) He also gets one in the scope of one book for his first appearance in Der Schatz im Silbersee when he treats a wounded Snake Oil Salesman while fully aware the man's lying to him and is less benign than he is trying to make himself out to be. Because Winnetou can read the tracks and he is the good guy.

Suddenly Ethnicity
 Winnetou / int_836b1ec2
comment
Suddenly Ethnicity: A mild version occurs with Old Surehand. His physical appearance doesn't exactly scream Native American, even with his long, flowing brown hair (after all, a couple of decidedly white hunters also have very long hair). But when an enemy Indian chief voices his suspicion of Old Surehand's mixed ancestry, a surprised Old Shatterhand takes a closer look at his friend and suddenly his silent, stoic attitude and his blazing dark eyes are starting to ring some familiar bells... It happens in the opposite direction, in the same book. Apanatschka's supposedly Comanche father (the local witch-doctor, to boot), turns out to be a French Creole man named Lothaire Thibaut, a fugitive criminal and fraud.

Mark of Shame: Old Shatterhand does this twice in "The Black Mustang": first to the two Chinese workers who steal his and Winnetou's weapons (he cuts their long plaits, at Winnetou's suggestion), and then he reattaches those two plaits to the head of Comanche chief Tokvi-Kava. In both cases, the "victims" treat it as a great personal shame, though the Whites present are more confused by the choice of punishment.

 Winnetou / int_93decddf
comment
Ominous Owl: Played with, in that it's not actually an owl (it's Winnetou's impeccable imitation of one) and it's definitely dangerous as it signifies an attack on a bunch of Comanches. Old Death and Old Shatterhand (who are travelling with the Comanches at the moment) are the only one who recognize the signal as potentially fatal, but their repeated warnings fall on deaf ears.

Invulnerable Horses

comment
Invulnerable Horses: Played with. Hatatitla, Iltschi and any other named horses are never wounded or killed, while other less important horses do get shot as a more acceptable alternative to shooting their owners. Justified in the Wild West, where a good horse is valuable in more ways than one, so shooting them is not a smart option. A notable subversion occurs in the Orient cycle. Upon confronting a group of enemy Beduins, Charlie tells his friends to "aim for the horses", in one of his attempts to avoid taking human lives. Then he notices how good the bandits' horses are: "I changed my mind. Shoot the bandits." (They end up shooting the Arab's spears in two and their guns out of their hands, because, let's face it, that's much more awe-inspiring.

 Winnetou / int_98810274
comment
Tree Cover: Used all the time whenever someone is sneaking around. There are the occasional subversions, in that not all trees are actually wide enough to hide a man's body, and other cover options must be found. Also useful when someone shoots at you. Most significantly, a tree saves Old Shatterhand's life in "Winnetou III", when a surprise encounter in the woods with an unseen foe leaves him a bit defenseless. Luckily, the shooter turns out to be Winnetou, and everyone makes it out unharmed.

White Stallion
 Winnetou / int_98bfd1ec
comment
White Stallion: A big no-no in the Wild West, since it makes the rider too conspicuous. Old Shatterhand has an entire inner monologue on the subject every time it crops up. He also points out the only situation where a white horse is acceptable in battle: if it's winter, and the rider also camouflages himself with a white sheet over his clothes. One of these is leading the mustang herd from which Sam Hawkens wants to catch a new ride for himself. He mistakenly thinks Old Shatterhand has his eyes on the white stallion and makes fun of him for it. (It's doubly funny because the reader has already seen Old Shatterhand opinion on it, and the unfairness of it all is hilarious.) They end up catching Mary the mule, who was the stallion's second-in-command.

Stealing the Credit
 Winnetou / int_9bb8ac92
comment
Stealing the Credit: Let's see: First, Charlie's lazy colleagues let him do almost all the work without giving him any credit for it and denigrating him in the process. And then, after having finished all the work after his co-workers' deaths, the railroad company pays him his previously agreed wage and not a cent more (it enrages Sam Hawkens more than it does Charlie who, by that point, has achieved a stoic disregard towards money). Then Rattler claims he killed the grizzly bear instead of the "greenhorn", and tries to pin the blame of one of the men getting killed by the bear on Charlie. In the later novel "Holy Night!", the Preacher steals (through a very complicated chain of events) one of Charlie's childhood poems from Germany and publishes it for his own profit (Hiding Behind Religion and fabricating a suitably "moving" story for the poem's origin, which is what particularly gets on Charlie's nerves.) And there is at least one instance where someone else claims to be Old Shatterhand, but that incident happens off-page, and is quickly solved by the real Old Shatterhand, via unbeatable arguments. In his own words, "my fist to his head."

Cool Horse: Both Apache chief Winnetou and his friend Old Shatterhand have a black stallion of Apache breed that are all of extraordinary quality, and they have the finest specimen. Old Shatterhand's Hatatitla and Winnetou's Ilchi are famous far and wide and only their names bring about respect. The antagonists in the movie adaptations tend to covet them and try to steal them from our noble heroes. (With no success, because the horses are trained to emphatically not let anyone else ride them. Bad things happen to those who try. And the bad things are not always treated comically. Being trampled to death by a horse is an unpleasant way to go.)

Fastest Gun in the West: Usually averted, in that the gun duels make use of rifles, there is a counting procedure and a certain number of shots that can be fired. If any of the men involved try to shoot faster than allowed, they get a bullet to the head. The only situation presented where being fastest counts is during actual battle, or during a "hands-up" situation.

Keep the Reward: One off-screen incident has Old Shatterhand save a rich boy from drowning. When his father tries to give him a few dollars as reward (not knowing who he is), an angry Winnetou intervenes and sets things straight. In fact, Old Shatterhand generally manages to avoid whatever rewards are thrown his way, including marriage arrangements; hilariously, he is a lot more demanding when it comes to his rights as an author.

Also from "Winnetou IV", Sascha Schneider's Real Life painting of Winnetou flying/ascending to Heavens is heavily featured as a plot turning point. (It often serves as a front cover for the novel as well.)

Bottomless Magazines

Bottomless Magazines: Invoked. Old Shatterhand's "Henry carbine" actually packs "only" twenty-five shots into a magazine that's apparently complex enough that few if any enemies who manage to get hold of the gun ever figure it out, but because that's still a lot of shots between reloads and he rarely needs to expend them all before topping it off again a number of his more superstitious adversaries — especially those who only know him by reputation — do end up convinced that the weapon is somehow magical and a straight example of the trope, and he in turn takes full advantage of that misconception quite a few times.

Improbable Aiming Skills: It's Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, what did you expect?!

Sam Hawkens gets to shine with a bet at the beginning of Der Ölprinz, to his opponents' great surprise since his rifle is old and looks... very used, to put it mildly.

Feet of Clay: Several pseudo-bad characters come to this conclusion about Old Shatterhand. Needless to say, they are proven wrong — by circumstances, because he would never bother trying to convince them otherwise.

Hiding Behind Religion
 Winnetou / int_c222c94f
comment
In the later novel "Holy Night!", the Preacher steals (through a very complicated chain of events) one of Charlie's childhood poems from Germany and publishes it for his own profit (Hiding Behind Religion and fabricating a suitably "moving" story for the poem's origin, which is what particularly gets on Charlie's nerves.)

You Said You Would Let Them Go: Tangua tries to avoid keeping his word of releasing the Apache prisoners by doing a very literal interpretation of his agreement with Old Shatterhand. He isn't actively trying to kill them anymore; instead, he would let them die of hunger and thirst. Fortunately, it's not a problem for more than a quarter of a page before the rest of the Apaches come back and attack.

Half-Breed Discrimination
 Winnetou / int_c59d9a4b
comment
Half-Breed Discrimination: Characters of mixed ancestry are usually discriminated against, but there are exceptions. The one constant trait that all "half-breeds" seem to posses is a certain predisposition towards hot-headed action. It's lampshaded by Harry, Old Firehand's son, when arguing with Old Shatterhand about revenge: "If you had Indian blood in your veins, you would understand!" (Despite this, in Karl May's later works, there is a certain tendency to view extensive metisation as a possible solution to achieve lasting peace between nations.)

Numbered Sequels: Karl May wrote four books entitled Winnetou I (full title: Winnetou. 1. Band, i. e. "Winnetou. Volume 1") to Winnetou IV (full title: Winnetou. 4. Band, i. e. "Winnetou. Volume 4"), as well as three called Old Surehand I to Old Surehand III and three called Satan und Ischariot I to Satan und Ischariot III. As Winnetou is killed in Winnetou III and Winnetou IV is very different in tone and subject from the previous three volumes (it relates of how Old Shatterhand, now in his 60s, returns to the Wild West to help erect a monument to his old companion and to oversee what happens to his legacy), the publishers retitled the fourth volume Winnetous Erben ("Winnetou's heirs") in 1914.

The Chief's Daughter: Nscho-tschi, daughter of Intchu-chuna, chief of the Apaches and Winnetou's younger sister. She fulfills some of the cliches while avoiding others completely: she loves Old Shatterhand once she gets to know him, but even then she would butt heads with him over certain cultural issues (and she's more right than he is), and she is one of his teachers in the West; she avoids any Damsel in Distress situation, but she is brutally killed.

Tongue Trauma: Old Shatterhand's famous knife wound through the jaw and tongue, received from Winnetou (and healed by Winnetou, too).

Power of Friendship: The bond between Winnetou and Old Shatterhand is strong enough to move mountains. Their bond is so strong, it starts working even before they become friends, and even while, for all intents and purposes, they were actively enemies - except Old Shatterhand does everything in his not-inconsiderable power to save and protect Winnetou from whatever plans were made against him (even when said plans belonged to his good mentor Sam Hawkens, much to the westman's despair) and Winnetou, for all the wrestling and knife-induced wounds, has serious problems with letting the man simply bleed to death. It starts to get ridiculous when he literally puts himself between Old Shatterhand and a murderously angry Tangua - while Old Shatterhand was tied at the stake and couldn't defend himself properly. It's a wonder if any readers remember by that point that those two were still supposed to be enemies.

I Have Many Names
 Winnetou / int_d5d976dd
comment
I Have Many Names: Charlie has a lot of these. It all starts with "Old Shatterhand", which is of course the nickname given to him by his white companions, and then this nickname got translated into pretty much every Indian dialect of every tribe he has ever encountered (or, after a while, who has ever heard of him). So we have Selki-Lata/Selkhi-Lata (Mescalero Apache), Nonpay-Klama (Shoshones), Pokai-Mu (Utah), Tave-Schala (Yuma), Nina Nonton, Ka-Ut-Skamasti, and so on. Then there are the variations of his given name, Carl, which he adapts into Charley/Charlie/Charles/Carlos, and is usually reserved for friends. (Special mention goes here to Winnetou's "Scharlih", which is the Apache's affectionate way of (mis)pronouncing Charlie.) He also uses aliases whenever he thinks the situation requires it, such as Mr. Jones, März, Mr. Beyer, Meier/Mayer, Mr. German, and in one amusing case of trying to mislead someone, Old Firefoot. Moving to South America, we have Arriquez, Tocaro, El Rastreador, El Sendador. The Orient Cycle offers even more names. Adding to all that, in the US-version of Karl May's books from 1898/99, everything German was made American, and the main character is called Jack Hildreth (though he is so far removed from the original he is literally another person). And in "Weihnacht!", Carl's old school friend Carpio calls him Sappho, both while they were kids and after Old Shatterhand had become a famous name in the West. And yes, it's Sappho as in the poet of Lesbos. And yes, he received the nickname because he also wrote nice poems. Winnetou himself almost never uses aliases, choosing rather to not give any name rather than spin a lie, but when he follows Charlie to Africa (loooong story), he lets Charlie pick a name for him - they go with Ben Asra, Somalian/Indian prince. Other people they meet, both Arabs and white, call him Winnetou el Harbi w’Nasirnote Winnetou the Foreign Enemy theHelper, or simply "Mr. Beyer’s Indian" (Mr Beyer being Old Shatterhand).

One particular case is that of Tocbela in "Old Surehand".

Her older sister Tahua, also a famous beauty, was also changed by the trials of her Action Girl lifestyle.

 Winnetou / int_db9940c4
comment
Famed In-Story: Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, most prominently, and people also know their horses and guns. They are respected wherever they go. Occasionally subverted, at least temporarily. Not everybody appreciates having those two around, and we're not talking about the bad guys here. Winnetou and Old Shatterhand tend to steal the spotlight in whatever group they're in, and other westmen, either truly experienced or mere wanna-bes, sometimes have problems with listening to their advice, taking orders from them or accepting their merciful views in battle. It goes for both white people and native tribes, in fact some of the most interesting parts of the (unabridged) books are the ways they manage to deal with such situations. Just because they are pretty much always right does not mean they can always prevent others from doing stupid things and getting hurt while trying to make a point. Other characters as well: for example, in The Spirit of Llano Estacado, the characters previously featured in The Son of the Bear-Hunter are now famous in the West thanks to the events of that story. Word of mouth is described as powerful around the campfires in the West. And Old Shatterhand is often just as thrilled to meet other famous westmen as they are to meet him.

Uncle Tomfoolery: Bob suffers from this rather badly, especially in The Son of the Bear Hunter. He gets a lot better in The Ghost of Llano Estacado, where his only significant racial markers are his speech and his freed-slave backstory, only to mostly slip back again in Old Surehand (although at least by that point it's treated more realistically as his personal characteristics).

comment
Hard Head: Occasionally, some of Old Shatterhand's opponents turn out to be more physically resilient than he initially expected, and either take more effort to knock out, or wake up much sooner than expected... Old Shatterhand himself, if one were to judge by the number of times he gets hit over the head with a heavy blunt object and only gets a fainting spell followed by a nasty headache, instead of serious brain trauma and possibly death.

comment
Animal Motifs: Old Shatterhand is very often compared to a fox (because of his cunning) and a bear (because of his strength). Winnetou is a less clear case, but Charlie associates him with black panthers (explicitly) and with ravens and black horses (implicitly). Their enemies always try to insult them by calling them "coyotes" (implying cowardice because they often use their cleverness instead of brute strength, though they do not exactly lack that either).

He also gets one in the scope of one book for his first appearance in Der Schatz im Silbersee when he treats a wounded Snake Oil Salesman while fully aware the man's lying to him and is less benign than he is trying to make himself out to be.

comment
As Long as It Sounds Foreign: As he only disposed of a small sample base of words from Amerindian languages in his reference books, May would sometimes mix up words from unrelated languages when giving his Indians names or having them speak. Most laughable: Apaches speaking among themselves calling a wife with Algonquian word "squaw" (which raised modern audience concerns). Apache language is not even related to Algonquian languages.

Befriending the Enemy: Old Shatterhand tends to acquire friends (or at least admirers) from among even his most determined enemies. See the case of Pida, son of Kiowa chief Tangua, the first and probably most bitter enemy Old Shatterhand managed to make in the Wild West. Pida, on the other hand, is treated with kindness and respect, and he returns both feelings, remaining good friends with the white man who crippled his father until they are both old and grey.

Named Weapons: Old Shatterhand has two guns, one a rare, but at least theoretically not unique Henrystutzen (Henry short rifle), the other named the Bärentöter (bear-slayer). Winnetou uses the unerring Silberbüchse (silver rifle), so named because it was decorated with silver stud-nails all over. Sam Hawkens said he wanted to be buried with his rifle, the somewhat temperamental Liddy. In the movies the Silberbüchse is referenced most and the Bärentöter has very little screen time.

Romantic Rain

comment
Romantic Rain: Subverted for Old Shatterhand and Martha Vogel. After realizing that Martha had indeed kissed him in his sleep (a year before, but he's kind of slow when it comes to romance), and after Martha flees in panic, a deeply confused and conflicted Old Shatterhand runs after her, despite the huge summer storm that breaks over the city. He doesn't catch up with her, instead he is eventually forced to seek refuge under some huge linden trees when the storm turns out to be more like a second Flood. The continuous lightning making him anxious, he moves from his initial tree under another, while berating himself for being irrational, as there's no way to correctly predict a lightning strike — only for a big lightning bolt to strike and burn down the very tree he had been hiding under. Had he stayed put, he would have died. It serves as an eye-opener (what does his aching heart count against the will of God?). Suddenly feeling calm, he returns home, and gives up on Martha.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Old Shatterhand lampshades this in "Winnetou's Heirs", and he is referring to everyone. Including his old-time enemies.

Forbidden Zone: If you want to be absolutely sure that Charlie will end up in a certain place, slap this name on it. He will be onto it at the speed of light. After taking all necessary (and sometimes unnecessary) precautions, and drafting several back-up plans, of course. (He is not The Trickster of the series for nothing.)

Dude, Where's My Respect?
 Winnetou / int_f818b637
comment
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Old Shatterhand, though most of the time he is too proud to point it out to the culprits. Sometimes, Winnetou will intervene and put them in their place. Occasionally, as in "Satan and Iscariot", it's taken to hilarious extremes, both with the lack of respect and Winnetou's out-of-character reaction. Charlie decides to be amused by the first, and giddily flattered by the latter.

Distressed Dude: Winnetou and Intschu-tschuna falling prisoners to the Kiowas. Old Shatterhand himself more times than it's worth remembering. Winnetou himself a few times more. The whole plot of Der Sohn des Bärenjägers is based around a long-distance rescue attempt, and more characters are captured and subsequently rescued along the way.

Metallic Motifs
 Winnetou / int_fc9bac8
comment
Metallic Motifs: Silver is most often associated with Winnetou (both the mystical and the badass aspects), but its connotations to treachery show up in the character of Judith Silberstein (Silverhill), a beautiful but money-hungry young woman who proves to be a surprisingly persisting and occasionally resourceful foe in "Satan and Iscariot". Bronze is also often associated with Winnetou, more specifically his skin color, which is lovingly described every single time the guy makes an appearance. It underlines his resilience as well as his beauty, both exotic and classic (he's often compared to Ancient Roman statues). Gold, whenever it enters the equation, comes with negative, blood-soaked connotations. It only becomes better when wielded by someone indisputably good, like Winnetou. For example, in "Holy Night!" he gifts a couple of people with golden nuggets for Christmas, and it's described as a pure gesture that doesn't seem to have any negative consequences (granted, what happens before that is pretty gruesome, and yes, it's bad because of that same gold). Steel and Iron are often mentioned metaphorically, when describing people (Winnetou's incredible body) or animals (usually good horses). They always have positive connotations, related to strength, endurance, health, nerves and will.

Crisis of Faith: Klekih-Petra, in his youth. Old Surehand in the eponymous novel, as mentioned in his conversations with Old Shatterhand. And Old Shatterhand reveals that he himself had not always been exempt.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished
 Winnetou / int_fe614133
comment
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Played straight with young women, partly subverted with older ones. So it's usually a case of aging, occasionally with the narration pointing out she used to be a beauty in her youth. One particular case is that of Tocbela in "Old Surehand". In her case, her great beauty was ruined early on by shock and madness, and she barely recovers a little sanity when she's in her forties and irrevocably changed physically. Her older sister Tahua, also a famous beauty, was also changed by the trials of her Action Girl lifestyle. Comically inverted in Winnetou III 5th chapter with Señora Eulalia and Señorita Alma, wife and daughter of a poor Mexican rancher of Spanish aristocratic stock. Both are described and made fun of as dirty and disheveled. Winnetou himself never suffers more than light wounds and bruises. Amusingly, the most damage he receives comes as a result of running around the forest at night, trying to spy on two enemy camps at the same time. The morning finds him rather dishevelled, scratched and full of resin. As is Old Shatterhand, for the same reasons.

Mighty Whitey: More so in the novels, but also included in the films. Both Winnetou and Intschu-tschuna grudgingly admit the superiority of the Whites in technical and scientific matters. It's the wanton violence and encroachment on their freedoms and lands they hate and seek to repeal at all cost.

Hunter Trapper: What a lot Westmen are. However, there are differences between doing this long-term for money (Old Firehand, The Bear-Hunter), combining this with scouting (Sam Hawkens) or simply catching food for yourself (Old Shatterhand, whose alleged trapper activities happen off-page).
