Robotermärchen corresponds closely but not exactly with the Polish book Bajki robotów and the English Mortal Engines. The stories in common are:

Drei Elektritter / The Three Electroknights (Trzey elektrycerze) 1972
Die Uranohren / Uranium Earpieces (Uranowe uszy) 1972
Erg Selbsterreg überwindet den Bleichling / How Erg the Self-inducting Slew a Paleface (Jak Erg Samowzbudnik Bladawca pokonal) 1972
Die Schätze des Königs Biskalar / Treasures of King Biscalar (Skarby króla Biskalara)
Zwei Ungeheuer / Two Monsters (Dwa potwory) 1972
Der Weiße Tod / The White Death (Biala smierc) 1972
Wie Winzlieb und Gigelanz die Nebelflucht auslösten / How Microx and Gigant Made the Universe Expand (Jak Mikromil i Gigacyan ucieczke mglawic wszczeli) 1972
Das Märchen von der Rechenmaschine, die gegen den Drachen kämpfte / Tale of the Computer That Fought a Dragon (Bajka o maszynie cyfrowej, co ze smokiem walczyla) 1972
Die Räte des Königs Hydrops / The Advisors of King Hydrops (Doradcy króla Hydropsa) 1972
Der Freund des Automatthias / Automatthew's Friend (Przyjaciel Automateusza) 1972
König Globares und die Weisen / King Globares and the Sages (Król Globares i medrcy) 1972
Das Märchen vom König Murdas / The Tale of King Gnuff (Bajka o królu Murdasie) 1972
Zifferotikon / Cyphroeroticon (Cyfrotikon) 1965?

In Bajki robotów but not in Robotermärchen are:
Die Rettung der Welt / How the World Was Saved (Jak ocalal swiat) 1964
Trurls Maschine / Trurl's Machine (Maszyna Trurla) 1964
Die Tracht Prügel / A Good Shellacking (Wielkie lanie) 1964
which I have as the first three stories of The Cyberiad (Orbit/Futura 1977).

In Mortal Engines but not in Robotermärchen are:
The Sanatorium of Dr. Vliperdius (Zaklad doktora Vliperdiusa) 1971
The Hunt (Polowanie) 1973
The Mask (Maska) 1974

(If anyone has corrections to the above or suggestions how I could improve the formatting, please send me a message.)

(Review for the Finnish-language edition Konekansan satuja ja tarinoita.)

The stories are mostly the same as in the English language book Mortal Engines (with some stories from The Cyberiad added). Similar to The Cyberiad, but somehow less thought-provoking. ( )
