Geschichten vom Kyffhäuser

René Matthes' Geschichten vom Kyffhäuser (2013) is a single-issue German comic that explores the legendary history and folklore surrounding the Kyffhäuser mountain in Thuringia. Published as a standalone work, it distills centuries of myth—from the sleeping Emperor Barbarossa to the region's medieval past—into a compact, illustrated narrative. Matthes, both writer and artist, brings a personal, atmospheric touch to this niche historical subject, making it a distinctive entry for readers interested in German cultural heritage and independent comics.
