In this podcast episode, you will learn everything about the fire of Deutz and its impact on the region. The focus is particularly on Rupert von Deutz, an important Cologne clergyman of the 12th century who played an important role. Then you’ll also learn about an emperor being thrown out of the city at Christmas. And how an archbishop might not have been quite so precise when minting new coins.
