[…] that our language, the language of the German farmers on Wolga, is not at all a real German language, but rather a decayed, flat/inane language, a Plattdeutsch, and that no-one in Germany speaks or has spoken like that.

de-proper noun

Wotan m (proper noun, strong, genitive Wotans)

→ English: Wotan

Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *Wōdanaz, cognate with English Woden, Icelandic Óðinn. Attested since the 12th century in the Latin Chronicon of Godfrey of Viterbo, where it is spelled Wotan. In Old High German, the name is attested as Wodan.
After Christianization, the name appears to have persisted in folklore and formed various derivations, such as Old High German Wuotunc, Wodunc; Middle High German Wüetung.
In literary modern German, the spellings Wodan and Wotan competed during the early 19th century, but Wotan became prevalent in the wake of Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, published in 1853.
A male given name Wotan (also Wuotan, Woatan) is attested in Latin beginning in the 9th century. It became obsolete during the high medieval period, but was revived as a rare given name in the 20th century.

Attested from the 15th century, in the 14th in the compound götzenträger for "icon".
In the 15th and 16th centuries a term for "cast image", and more generally for "image, likeness". In the 15th century used in the sense of "fool, stupid person", presumably influenced by Götz, a short form of the given name Gottfried. Grimm cites a folk song collected by Uhland (1881), based on a manuscript dated to 1603, where götze takes the meaning of kobold as evidence that this may have been the original sense.
The meaning of "false god, idol" is due to Luther. Early usage in Luther is in the sense of "mask" or "mummer", especially of clerics as the "masks" of the pope, or the pope as "mask" of the devil; later, Luther moves away from this usage and begins using the word as a synonym of Abgott "false god".

Die Republikaner wurden über die Sieg zurückgeworfen, und Lefèvbre hatte alle Noth zu entkommen. Schon am 11. November waren die Plünderer bis über die Sieg zurückgelaufen, und die Husaren von Barko und das Regiment Grünlaudon mit den bewaffneten Bauern überschritten noch am nämlichen Tage diesen Fluß. Prinz Würtemberg wählte am 12. November sein Hauptquartier zu Ueckerath, während Lefèvbre bei Troisdorf an der Acher ein Lager bezog und die Nachbardörfer zum Schanzarbeiten und Holzfällen zwang, womit er sich in die Erde vergrub. General Hatry zog gleichzeitig sich durch’s Rheinthal zurück, eine Menge Raubes fortschleppend, der den Lefèvbre’schen wieder abgejagt war. Die Hauptmacht der Franzosen zog mit den geraubten Vorräthen über die Wupper zurück, während Lefèvbre bei Troisdorf sich immer tiefer verschanzte. Leider durfte Prinz Ferdinand den Sieg nicht weiter verfolgen, weil der Hofkriegsrath zu Wien ihm verboten hatte, die Sieg zu überschreiten.
