What happens

Schloss Hammerstein to Linz è un cortometraggio muto del 1903. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit del film né vi appare quello di un operatore. Schloss Hammerstein è il nome storico dei resti delle fondamenta di un muro che in origine si era pensato essere stato un castello medioevale. Solo in seguito, trovandovi dei resti di cocci, mattoni e monete, le rovine si sono rivelate come quelle di una villa di campagna romana. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
