Forgotten Traveller People - The Yenish

Directed by Steffi Kammermeier

With Christiane Blumhoff, Patrick Schenk, Jakob Kronenwetter and Renaldo Schwarzenberger

Hardly anyone knows who they are. Yet there are a surprisingly large number of Yenish people in German-speaking countries. This mysterious ethnic group is familiar to many without their knowledge: basket weavers by the roadside, peddlers, knife sharpeners, but also performers and carousel operators. The Yenish have always been a people of travelers. They have existed in Central Europe for over a thousand years. They have their own culture and their own language – and they are something very special.
