Michael Gaismair is generally known as the leader of the oppressed people in the Tyrolean peasant uprisings in the 16th Century. Yet he was far more than a simple rebel. Michael Gaismair had extraordinary foresight and he dared to fundamentally question the church and the supremacy of the nobles – which of course did not please the authorities at all.

But the powerful Habsburgs knew how to prevent this and persecuted the Tyrolean leader until his death.
