Das gebrochene Gelübde

Barely retired, Edith Flubacher began to research her family's history. What was initially intended as a temporary pastime increasingly turned into a mystery. It was primarily the figure of her grandfather that captivated her. Her father had hardly spoken about him and his life. After uncovering his secret, Edith Flubacher quickly understood why he had remained silent: His father, her grandfather, was a Catholic priest and had eight children with four different women. With meticulousness and enthusiasm, Edith Flubacher researched and reconstructed the life of the man who had served as a priest 150 years ago. She repeatedly traveled to the Black Forest to visit the parishes where he had worked, never giving up and remaining persistent. Edith Flubacher would not be deterred by the church authorities.
