Der Fall Konnersreuth (1/2)

The documentary examines the world-famous case of Therese Neumann of Konnersreuth (1898–1962). Parts 1 and 2 analyze the accounts of her stigmatization and alleged fasting, which made Konnersreuth a place of religious pilgrimage. The video places the events within the historical context of the interwar period and explores the tension between deep popular belief, church scrutiny, and scientific skepticism. Both the biographical milestones of "Resl" and the societal impact of this phenomenon are presented objectively.
