1848 - what a year: Calls for fundamental rights and democratic participation grew louder, heated debates turned into barricade fights, the political status quo finally began to falter. In the end, the revolutionaries and freedom fighters did not achieve their goals, but a decisive start had been made. Historian Alexandra Bleyer tells of the unique dynamics of this revolutionary year throughout Europe.
In addition to the political events, she also takes a look at the turbulent everyday life and accompanies a multitude of people through these turbulent times - from the women's rights activist Louise Otto-Peters to defenders of the status quo like Prince Metternich to poets like Johann Nestroy and the dancer Lola Montez, who ended up in the USA as a revolutionary refugee. A breathtaking chronicle that reveals the very special spirit of optimism of those days.
