Cathérine Fischer

A song sleeps in all things, dreaming on and on. And the world begins to sing, if you only find the magic word: The poem "Wünschelrute" was written by Baron Joseph von Eichendorff in 1838. In all things, even in the most inconspicuous or hidden, a song sleeps, a story is concealed. For this book, the authors Eva-Maria Bast and Cathérine Fischer have discovered such subtle details in Wolfsburg and revealed their significance. What is the story behind the moss-covered tiles hidden at the foot of Klieversberg? Why is there a millstone at Schillerteich? How did the piece of wood end up in the tower of the Marienkirche? Secret inscriptions, mysterious remnants, old walls, and strange holes in stones have been tracked down by Eva-Maria Bast and Cathérine Fischer in the city. Their "dowsers" were dedicated Wolfsburg residents who know special places in the city and can tell their stories. Long-time city experts, artists, a mayor, the chairman of a local heritage association, and many others showcased the previously largely unknown features of the city. The Wolfsburger Nachrichten is involved as a cooperation partner. And those who explore Wolfsburg with this book in hand will see the city with entirely new eyes.
