Thanks to all of you, I can see much clearer now
A monastery would be a very good idea for it would be indeed very difficult to hide the treasure somewhere else for centuries, quite a lot happened since the crusade times.
I could think about a secret hiding place somewhere bricked in, and only one monk knows the secret and hands it down to the next one on his deathbed
(comparable with "the fifth element")And then it's in a chest (...a lot of ironwork...) with seven (magic!) lockers and anyone who would try to open it by force and not with the keys (all of them of course!), ahem, hm, -pondering-, ah, yes, forgets immediately what he came for, joins the monastery and protects the treasure-chest with his life from now on

I liked the ufo/alien-related jokes (and the x-file quote from Wu) and the story with the glühenvolk. The geographical confusions made me actually yell out loud at some point, but it's still a very enjoyable episode.

Maybe she derived her stuff from earlier stories, I don't know, I also don't know if any of that stuff got translated or if that direction is really where they did get their ideas from or if it's all just a stew of different things from Europe.
I occupied myself with this map some time ago so I'd like to answer this in here.
It's absolutely possible the writers meant the Black Forest. But in the map you can see the "Schwarzwald" is on the left side, pretty far away from where Monroe pointed. But I don't expect the writers to be exact on that Big Grin.
Right. Plus, Queen Stefania is Romanian, I think, so that is difficult to square with my analysis because 'Schwarzwald' or the Black Forest is not anywhere near her country of origin. Also, Adalind and the Frau are in Vienna, so Stefania is most likely in or around that city, too. Oh, well, it was fun flirting around with the idea. But at least I learned that the Black Forest in actually a wooded mountain range from looking at the map and reading about it!
(It rubs me a bit the wrong way, because I grew up not far from the black forest and there was a girl in my class in primary school who got some ugly antiziganic remarks and this made me just think of that, maybe I'm reacting too sensitive here, I don't know, I just have an odd feeling about this Stefania-stuff.)
