Hartmann:Ella auf historischer Pirsch

Gerolstein: A picturesque little town in the Vulkaneifel, whose fate has always been shaped by events in the surrounding area and beyond. Long ago surrounded by the sea, traces of various life forms and creatures can still be found there today. Until relatively recently, the town and its people belonged to changing realms and states. This book connects the existing traces of the past with European cities such as Rome, Trier, Aachen, Cologne, Paris, and Berlin - told from the perspective of an Englishwoman (Ella) and a Czech woman (Oma). Thus, the history of Gerolstein shines in a new light: as that of a European town between London and Prague.

Join Ella and Oma on their historical quest in and around Gerolstein and listen to the chatty dialogue of the two authors, who view the place from an unusual angle.

The literary characters were inspired by the authors themselves.
