Only recently I was reading up on the origins of this story, which is based on the wording on a stained glass window from the 1300s, to note the 100-year anniversary of the date 130 children were taken or stolen from the village. No one knows exactly what happened to the children, but theories abound. It might have been a reference to a disease epidemic like the plague which may have taken the "children" (AKA the citizens of the village) away, where the piper represented Death. Or it might have been as simple as a mass emigration. Some think it may have been some sort of pagan cult leader who kidnapped the children into the mountains for nefarious purposes. I find the entire topic fascinating.

There is a tour you can take in Germany that follows the origins of fairy tales. This story is among them--you can visit the church in Hameln (AKA Hamelin) where the stained glass window originally stood. The tour goes into many towns associated with events or lore that eventually became the basis for the Grimm brothers' fairy tales. I'd love to take the tour some day!
