Am Nabel der Welt

Is Steyr, the Upper Austrian city with a 1000-year history, a focal point of events whose significance reaches around the globe? The new legends are an especially exciting testament to this assumption, assures the author.

His book contains 13 legends, all invented or, as he prefers to say, discovered by him. They are rich in imagination, quirky, bizarre, and satirical – many of them connect to the tumultuous old and recent history of the traditional city of Steyr. The pendulum swings vigorously between fact and fiction.

There are tales of wild devils, clever apprentices, and seductive river maidens. The local character Michel from Schnallenberg is also included. To top it all off, there is a pandemic legend. Dive into the world of recently discovered Steyr legends!.
