When magic ink decorated Freising Easter eggs: This is how Easter was celebrated in Freising 150 years ago. On Holy Saturday 1865, two boys accidentally set fire to the Korbinians linden tree on the hill between Weihenstephan and Freising.
In 1885, the local newspaper gave an unusual tip for everyone who dyed eggs at home: how to make magic ink. The tip that was published in the FT in 1888 was much more harmless - namely regarding wax decoration of the eggs.
