Gottfried comes from an old noble family and believes that there is a curse on his family. Together with his friend Malte, he tries to break this curse.
Gottfried and Malte have found out about the curse on Gottfried's family. Baldanders, a good spirit, has given them a chair and warned them about Feldeisen, the cemetery caretaker. The chair works like a time machine that allows them to travel back in time. They want to go back to the beginning of the curse and undo it. They travel to the Weimar of Goethe's time, meet the inventor of their time machine in the Black Forest and finally end up in Magdeburg in the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War. And whenever one of the boys wants to give up, the other has a saving idea.
