Dear Arlo,
searching under „Strohmann“ the NWS yields: cañca tṛṇapuruṣa(ka) °cañcāpāñcajana °jharaṅka Another German word that - among other shades of meaning - could also be used to mean „scarecrow“ („Vogelscheuche“) was „Strohpuppe“: °cañcāveṣā °tṛṇakāminī If you’re looking for 19th-century German-language equivalents, it’s a bit like an Easter egg hunt, just right for today.
