The Mythology of the Spree
Storytelling on the origins of the river...
Local storyteller and historian Manfred Kliche guided audiences through the legends of the land and waterscapes of the Spreewald. The history of the Spree has many facets. Since the ice age it has shaped the landscapes from the Lausitz to the Havel. Science and legends, each in their own way, bear witness to the changing fate of man and water.
