What kind of news site is this? Seems fake. Not reported anywhere else.
But what a beautiful sword!
All articles are translated from the original source. We run a translation service to help English speakers in Germany understand what's happening across Germany.
But yeah, it has strong freebooting energy.
The FAZ and Zeit articles are just copy pasted from the dpa, which is why they are identical. I am sure they payed for them, but I can't say I am particularly sorry for them.
Welt was the one article I saw which included some more info and a few more pictures.
