We start with nothing fancy, maybe a hill and a couple of stones... which turn out to be Slovak Mycenae and Stonehenge! Then, we start walking around Kežmarok and slowly but surely get deeper and deeper into the story of the Zipser Germans. Needless to say, the atmosphere thickens with every passing minute... but we end positively and optimistically!

Thank you very much for all of your wonderful videos! I enjoy watching them and learning from your travels and research. I am curious if you have any knowledge of the Henckel Von Donnersmarck family. They are of noble German family with ties to the area as far back as the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. The oldest known member of the family is Henckel de Quintoforoa . All I know is that, and that his 3 sons Peter, Jakob and Nicholas Henckel received a coat of arms from King Sigismund of Luxembourg in 1417. The family has been part of the Austrian and Hungarian nobility since 1593, when Lazar I. Henckel of Donnersmarck (1551-1624) called the Elder provided a large loan to the Imperial Court Chamber in Vienna between 1595 and 1600 for the wars against the Turks and in 1603 participated in the working in the Banská Bystrica copper mines. In Bohemia, the family-owned, for example, Larisch's villa (Castle) in Pardubice, in Silesia the Bohumín manor , where the count's family tomb is also located. I wish to learn more about Quintoforoa, and why his sons were given a coat of arms , etc. I am watching all the videos that I can pertaining to this region and soaking up all the history I can. Hoping to find a mention of them. I have also been researching their history in Silesia. The reason for my great interest is because I am related to this distant line of the Henckel family and I have been studying my genealogy. Thanks for any possible info that may enlighten me in any way.

Thanks so much for this video. My grandparents are Zipser Germans who fled to the United States, and I am planning to make a trip to Slovakia this year to see where they lived. I'm really curious about the book by Marta Krafcikova. Do you have any idea where it may be found?

In English? No idea, unfortunately... Try checking online, if it doesn't work, then You have to ask in Hopgarten itself:)

I know what I'm saying, yeeeears ago I actually tried learning Swiss German... an unfulfilled dream still;)

@@GoblinExplorerENG well, I speak German fluently, so it’s not SO hard(ish) to understand, I can’t speak it tho. We have Swiss people in our company and even when they try to speak “normal” German, it sounds… wrong :)
