23 March 2024, Saxony-Anhalt, Quedlinburg: Members of the Kaiserfrühling Quedlinburg e.V. association perform a history play in historical costumes. In preparation for the King's Days on May 31 to June 2, 2024, the association uses the historical play to promote the festival. In 973, Otto I visited Quedlinburg for the last time and opened a court festival here with envoys from all over Europe. It was once the greatest event that people north of the Alps could experience. The Kaiserfrühling association performs the play four more times at weekends at the Finkenherd in Quedlinburg. Photo: Matthias Bein/dpa (KEYSTONE/DPA/Matthias Bein)
