Definition: The term "Knoppfel" comes from Germanic roots, meaning a large, heavy instrument or bell. This specific instrument has been used in various folk traditions for centuries to call out important messages or summon animals for hunting. The term was likely used as an alternative to the more traditional "knopf," which is the small, hollow drum typically found on boats and ships. In some cases, this knoppfel might be made of animal skin, making it a symbol of both fear and power in many cultures.
