Deep Space LIVE Family: Robbers and Knights – Once upon a time in Linz

Tales of Linz in days of yore will be the center of rapt attention at the next Deep Space LIVE on October 25. Storyteller Claudia Edermayer will relate ripping yarns including the Sagas of the Iron Hand, the Losensteiner Tournament and Bandit Chieftain Michl Landl. Then historian Cathrin Hermann of the Linz City Archive will shed some light on the respective historical context and go into the question of what these stories of knights, brigands and arranged marriages can tell us about the particular time and society that brought them forth.
