A treasure hunt

… and the outcome (04.11.2017)
(by Michael)

It was dark – except for the full moon. I was in a small village that nobody knows. Many steps led me to a small church. I had expected to be more or less the only guest. But far from it – about 50 people were there. Amazing …

I squatted in the back, still free bank and watched the incoming. An expectant tension was in the air. And then it was the time.

A single person appeared – a minstrel and storyteller. In one corner, a stage was set up, on which he had already set up with his props and on which he set himself in scene by appropriate lighting. What was it all about?

Ekkehart had been researching for many years to find out the true story behind a known legend. Finally, he unexpectedly met another minstrel at a service station. A mysterious person, who at least after many questions told his first name: Volker.

But – Volker claimed to know the true story and background as well as all the places that Ekkehart had been researching about for so long. And the next day he wanted to lead Ekkehart to the spring where Siegfried actually died. Exactly – it’s about the Siegfried or the Nibelungen saga. And interestingly enough, the Nibelungen song was written by a Volker …

Ekkehart played all the roles: Volker, Ekkehart, Siegfried, Krimhild, Brunhild, Gunther, Hagen. Impressive, also a little scary. And – the Nibelungen saga also contains an important message.   …   Search for Ekkehart Voigt.

After visiting the cemetery, I took the stairs again and disappeared in the night.
