GEO Epoche Kollektion / GEO Epoche Kollektion 17/2019 - Die Deutschen (in 4 Teilen) - Band 1

In December 2019, GEO Epoche celebrates its 20th anniversary. On this occasion, GEO Epoche Kollektion is releasing a series for the first time: the next four issues will focus on German history - from Charlemagne to the fall of the Berlin Wall. 1200 years in four volumes. In this issue (Volume 1): 800-1517 from Charlemagne to Martin Luther. With cunning, brutality, and deceit, the Frankish king Charlemagne rises to become the most powerful ruler of the West. The first "German" emperor inherits Charlemagne's legacy. Knights embody the virtues of courage and loyalty, participating in the monotonous daily life of a fortress behind stone walls. In 1349, the plague brought from Asia reaches present-day Germany - the Black Death. Almost 100 years later, Johannes Gutenberg revolutionizes the world with his printing technology. Shortly thereafter, the Wittenberg theologian Martin Luther sparks a religious revolution with his criticism of the Church.
