"Frau Trude" stands for "Mother Trudy." In that particular tale, there's little variation- a girl speaks out on her mother, and instead goes to visit one who's known as Mother Trudy. The witch in this tale turns the little girl into a block of wood and burns her alive, for... literally no reason at all.

As for the Tree tales, I personally feel those two (the Juniper example more so than the Rose Tree, if even by a small margin) stand out compared even to the stereotype of the evil stepmother.

As for Bluebeard and the Uncle, easy qualifiers.
