Feuersnot
During Munich’s Midsummer festival, the sorcerer Kunrad offers his house for the bonfire and kisses the mayor’s daughter Diemut, who rejects him and traps him in a basket. He extinguishes every festival fire and says they can be restored only by a virgin’s body. The people persuade Diemut to yield to him; after their encounter, the fires return and the two emerge singing together.
