This week we once again have a two part tale with a historical origin - although the tale of 'Genovefa' is much kinder to its protagonist than its historical counterpart.
All in German Folktale
Ep. 1040 - Legends of the Rhine - The Doctor's Wine of Bernkastel
In today's episode we explore the healing properties of Rhine wines in 'The Doctor's wine of Bernkastel'.
Ep. 1039 - Legends of the Rhine - Riza
The Rhine story of 'Riza' is filled with that particular sort of Christian magic that comes close to being blasphemous.

In 'The Templars of Lahneck' we get a story of the conflict between the Knights Templar and the Church.
Ep. 1037 - Legends of the Rhine - The Emperor Wenzel
On its face 'The Emperor Wenzel' is a story of the succession of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. But in reality, it's a story about just how good Bacharacher wine is.

Today on the podcast we have the final part of our story of love, honor, and duty in Wilhelm Ruland's 'The Brothers'.
Ep. 1035 - Legends of the Rhine - The Brothers, Pt. 1
'The Brothers' is our first tale back from vacation and it's a love story unlike any told in "Legends of the Rhine" thus far. Although I'm not sure that's such a good thing.
Ep. 1054 - Legends of the Rhine, Pt. 1
This week we're catching back up with Wilhelm Ruland's "Legends of the Rhine".
Ep. 1050 - Legends of the Rhine - St. George's Linden
