Idsteiner Hexenturm

This week, the Monday Podcast visits the “Hexenturm” in Idstein, which literally translates as the “witches’ tower”.

Parts of the tower date from the 12th Century, but the name comes from events that took place in the town in the 17th Century when a number of people in the area were accused of witchcraft.

The tower itself is normally locked, so the key has to be collected from the tourist information office a short distance away.

The Rheingau Wine Festival in Oberursel

… or “the one that caused us problems”.

This podcast was first meant to be put online in August, but despite on editing the soundtrack it became apparant that some of the music at the festival could very clearly be identified and so we tried to find out what sort of permissions we would need to use the recording.

Needles to say, it took a while to get an answer and the solution would not only cost us 60EUR per year to keep the MP3 file online, but there were so many conditions attached that in the end we decided to leave it for the time being.

Now the recording has been re-edited so that you can at least hear some of the festival atmosphere, even if some of the interesting parts of the recording have had to be left out.
