In [[Ireland]], despite being extinct for over 200 years, the common crane plays a very important part in Irish culture and folklore and so thus recent efforts to encourage it back to [[Ireland]] are received with much enthusiasm.

The [[Kranich Museum]] in [[Hessenburg]], [[Mecklenburg-Vorpommern]], Germany, is dedicated to art and folklore related to the common crane.

The common crane is the sacred bird of the god [[Hephaestus]],<ref name=Theoi.com/> and it features heavily in the god's iconography.
In Indian states of Rajsthan and Gujarat this crane is described in lots of folk songs. For example: a newly married woman (whose husband has gone to a far away place for earning) will sing a song to crane to take a message to her husband and request to tell him to come home early.{{citation needed|date=April 2023}}
