The Drudenfuss (or Drudenfuß), literally "drude's foot", also known as Drudenkreuz or "drude's cross", is believed to be the footprint of a drude with the power to ward off drudes. It was in common use in the Middle Ages, also as a signature mark amongst stonemasons. It is in the shape of a star with five points.
One of the charms against drudes is the Drudenstein or drude stone, a certain kind of stone with a natural hole in it (also known as Hascherlit).
A knife called Drudenmesser or "drude's knife" has nine half moons and crosses on its blade and is said to have the power to collapse a whirlwind by throwing this knife into a whirlwind that is forming.
