Well, a 'popular' story it may be with the locals, but I admit that I had never heard of the story before, likely because I'm from Berlin. I only got to it through your hint and from there on started some digging myself.

O wonder whether the DW staff (if it actually turns out to be the Postmichel) thought that it would be cool to have a headless horseman, where annoyed that the Sleepy Hollow guy was always just some nameless soldier and kept digging until they found the first one who had actually a name attached to him. Because that's what I find striking in Michel's story: It is the only one where the horseman has a fully fleshed out backstory.
