Shooting in Klagenfurt
The legend behind the stone fisherman
The stone fisherman stands as a landmark on Klagenfurt's Benediktinermarkt, and of course there is a great legend behind it. For the ORF series "Der Sagenjäger", "Rosenheim cop" Max Müller once again went in search of clues in his home town of Klagenfurt. Many mysteries are solved.
The Klagenfurt actor Max Müller, known from the "Rosenheim Cops", has been searching for clues in "Der Sagenjäger" since 2023. This search takes him all over Austria. Max has now filmed an episode in his home town. "Der steinerne Fischer" can be seen on ORF on February 16.
"The Klagenfurt fishermen had hardly any money, and the Lendkanal used to run all the way to Heiligengeistplatz in the city center," says producer Mario Barta. "Back then, fish from Lake Wörthersee were considered the staple food of the people of Klagenfurt - and the fishermen soon got up to all kinds of mischief. They came to the market late and didn't always bring fresh fish. This was because they sold their catch beforehand without permission."
The fishermen's unfair games
A stop was put to this. The authorities decreed that every fisherman had to stand on the square in summer and winter - in rain or sunshine - without a coat, without a hat and without stopping in between. The statue of the stone fisherman at Benediktinermarkt still reminds us of this today - it is even linked to a legend. The statue bears the date 1606: a thrifty woman once doubted the accuracy of the fisherman's scales, but he swore: "I shall be turned to stone if I weigh wrong!" And he really had weighed wrongly. The fisherman turned to stone in front of the market people.
Max Müller felt at ease during the filming. "I was finally filming in my home town again. I'm often in Klagenfurt, at least once a month. And this is the coolest legend hunter I've ever filmed."
