(...) The legendary world of a region is as much a part of its identity as the local buildings and nature and, of course, the people who live there. In order to really get to know a region, knowledge of its legends is of fundamental importance." by Dr Jörgen Welp, archaeologist, deputy director of the Oldenburgische Landschaft From the foreword by Dr Natalie Geerlings, art historian "Without legends and stories, our everyday life would lack a lot. Who doesn't have fond memories of cosy hours spent listening to fairy tales and embarking on adventures with the characters? (...) Every region has its sagas and legends. In the Oldenburg region, too, people tell stories to make the inexplicable understandable and to spread the word about special features. With this in mind, I hope you enjoy the stories of the Oldenburg region, which take you through different times and sometimes even across the borders.".
