Lovely article (in German) in our local newspaper, Oberösterreichische Nachrichten, in Upper Austria last weekend. The journalist Roswitha Fitzinger initially just wanted to observe, but ended up becoming an enthusiastic participant. Unlike other, very superficial articles in small local papers, this one goes into detail about the background of the Death Cafe model, crediting Jon Underwood appropriately, and vividly describes the atmosphere.
Many thanks to Roswitha Fitzinger for this article, and also to Norbert Trawöger from Kepler Salon for his support for the Linz Death Cafe - Mit dem Tod bei Kaffee und Kuchen.
