History of the Germans - Ein Podcast von Dirk Hoffmann-Becking - Donnerstags

1152 In this episoe we examine Barbarossa's background, childhood and education. What is it that made him so exceptional? And we investigate whether the Cappenberger Head is indeed an individual likeness of the emperor, or just another image of what an emperor is supposed to look like.
