@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social A few people went the roving adventurers after a war route before. HeXXen 1733 starts with the gates of hell opening during the 30 years war and diverges from there, using regional legends sometimes.
The 30 years war is also a pretty established setting in the OSR, I think Gazer Press did a few modules around it.
So it would not seem as something completely new going that way.
I would go Vormärz.

@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social If you want to do a "D&D" in Germany I would go fantasy couterpart route.
For a more historical setting there could be different genres and story structures as well. The characters could be the ones investigating folklore and writing it down, the game could be about establishing why folklore happens.
Vaesen is a game we could look at for a folk horror approach.
Questions is if we want all the folklore or a game around certain stories.
