The Fugger network

The film looks at 1521 over the course of 12 months.

A year-long journey that brings the people and destinies of life in the realm of the Fugger back to life on film.

Not only the mining of silver and copper but also the associated "industry" shape the villages and hamlets of the region.

With the arrival of the Fugger, the Tyrolean crafts vanish. Power, powerlessness, wealth, and poverty – new times are dawning in the "Silver Empire."
