Kreepen Man (also known as Brammer Man or Kreeper-Brammer Man) was found by Friedrich Luttmann in early June 1903 in a bog in Lower Saxony near Verden, Germany. This bearded man was found lying face down and wearing no clothing. As is the case with many bog finds, the body was well preserved by the peat.
The body had twisted oak and willow branches binding the hands and feet. After its discovery, the body was sold to The Museum of European Cultures in Berlin. It was destroyed when the city was bombed during WWII.
Hairs found at the site, believed to belong to the Kreepen Man, date to between 1440–1625, but without the body, the date cannot be confirmed.
