wow thanks for the site of Karl May's books:
I unzipped _Winnetou, and the Apache Knight_
and found on page 219:
"I had often read of the blood bond of brotherhood.
It is a custom among many savage and half-civilized
people, and usually consists of the mingling of the blood
of the two making the compact, which is drunk by both,
and in consequence they become more closely united."
Thanks to all for helping me understand Bruederschaft,
and all its variations.
