    The red cowherd triggered it this morning: 1622, the time of the 30 Years War, when the whole region was ravaged by soldiers and mercenaries. The story tells of the "red cowherd" Zipper, who, according to the legend, saved Kirrlach from enemy soldiers in the 30-year war. The war over 30 years cost the lives of 40% of Germany's inhabitants. Central Europe has not recovered from this for a long time. Religious tensions, greed for more power and a welcome spark in Prague were the trigger for this slaughter like Sarajevo 300 years later. And a little cowherd saves a place and pays for it with his life.
