A little history:

A mannala or mannel is a brioche in the form of a man, prepared by the Germanic tradition bakers for the Saint-Nicolas, as well as by Alsatian families, Lorraine, and more generally German.

Pastry is also called petit Saint-Nicolas » in Lorraine, neckline or kouâlé in Romanesque Lorraine (mainly in the Vosges) meaning "tordu" in the Lorraine dialect thus recalling the tortuous form that the man takes and Jean Bonhomme in Franche-Comté.

In Germany, they are called Dambedei, Stutenkerl, Waeckmann, etc. according to dialects.

In Switzerland, we find this pastry shop under the names of Grittibänz or Grättima(nn).

They are in most of the regions consumed in the Saint-Nicolas, and the brioche can then represent the bishop of Myre, Saint Nicolas, during certain periods or in some regions but this is no longer the rule. But in some as in Rhineland, in the Ruhr, Hesse, they are eaten for St Martin of Winter (11 November, Sankt Martin). The children receive it at the end of the procession of Saint Martin (Martinsszug). They are also found in the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Austria.
