Der Hexenprozess
Anyone caught in the machinery of the Inquisition rarely emerged unscathed. One such person was Katharina, the mother of the famous mathematician Johannes Kepler. Falsely accused through slander, she endured trial and torture, surviving her acquittal by only a short time. Her story is just one of many from the era of the Thirty Years' War, which devastated and depopulated Europe. Centered around Kepler, who lived and worked in Graz, Linz, and Prague, episode seven of this new ORF III series chronicles society's long journey toward humanity and mutual tolerance. Lavishly staged dramatizations capture the full intensity of Kepler's life, immersing viewers in a world that, fortunately, feels distant to us today. Hosted by Andreas Pfeifer and Mariella Gittler, directed by Valentin Badura.
