Gertrud (GERTRUD) is a witch born from negative emotions, who loves roses more than anything else--her barrier is full of them. She uses humans' life energy to feed her roses and hates humans entering her barrier. Her minions are Anthony and Adelbert. She and her barrier are presented in a surreal manner with bizarre cut-and-paste-style photo collages. She also seems to like mustaches as both of her minions have some. The special page has confirmed that the mustaches are set by the witch herself. Her "body" has parts from a butterfly, and butterflies are seen in her barrier at many points. (See also: Gertrud's maze).

Das sind mir unbekannte Blumen.

Schneiden wir sie ab?

Die Rosen schenken wir unsrer Königin.
Und die schlechten Blumen
steigen auf die Guillotine.
Ja. Schneide sie ab!
Ja. Schneide sie heraus!
Those flowers are unknown to me.
Yes. They are also unknown to me.
Shall we cut them off?

And the bad flowers
go to the guillotine.

Trivia and Speculation

  • Gertrud's name may be a reference to Queen Gertrude from Shakespeare's play Hamlet.
  • Her name may be a reference to Gertrud Barkhorn from Strike Witches.
  • In episode 2 there's a grotesque image of Napoleon right before the door to Gertrud's barrier opens. Gertud may have been inspired by Joséphine de Beauharnais, wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. She was known as Rose until she married Napoleon, and she patronized the development of rose breeding at her gardens at Malmaison, collecting some 250 varieties.
  • Seiyus called Anthony ひげおじさん (Higeojisan, Uncle Moustache) in the audio comentary tracks of BD/DVD.
    • They think he is cute.
  • In the Catholic tradition, St. Gertrude is considered the patron saint of gardeners and herbalists.
    • Incidentally, she is also the patron saint of cats (and those who also loved them), travelers in search of lodgings, and insane people.[1]
