About Frankenburg

Frankenburg am Hausruck is a municipality in the district of Vocklabruck inside the Austrian country of Upper Austria. The metropolis is known as the site of an incident referred to as the Frankenburger Wurfelspiel. In 1625, all through the Counter-Reformation, Lutheran peasants revolted against the attempt with the aid of the neighborhood landowner, Count Herberstorff, to impose a Catholic priest in town. Despite his promise of amnesty, The Count had the town leaders arrested, divided them into agencies of two, and forced each pair to gamble with cube for his or her lives. Thirty-six guys have been hanged.

This act precipitated the Upper Austrian peasants' insurrection of 1626. The insurrection turned into defeated and Catholicism was reimposed. In remembrance of the occasion, a festival has been held each other year since 1925, which include performances at what is alleged to be the biggest open-air theatre in Europe. In 1936 the incident turned into the issue of a play, Frankenburger Wurfelspiel, by way of the German dramatist Eberhard Wolfgang Moller. The play became commissioned by way of the German Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbels, for the hole of the Dietrich-Eckart-Buhne, an out of doors theatre near the Berlin Olympic Stadium.
