We present first experimental results on the magneto-crystalline anisotropy of X-ray magnetic linear dichroism signals detected on single crystalline bcc Fe films at the 2p edge by measurements in reflection (XMLD-R) and fluorescence (XMLD-F) using linearly polarized undulator radiation at BESSY and DELTA. First XMLD measurements at the Fe 2p edge [1] used total electron yield (TEY) detection. In contrast to TEY XMLD-R and XMLD-F spectroscopy is unaffected by the applied magnetic field and hence allows also for the investigation of buried layers. The XMLD-R and XMLD-F spectra depend on the orientation of the crystal axes, i.e. the magnetic easy and medium axes, with respect to the polarization vector of the light and show strong changes of up to 100 percent. Comparing the experimental results with our ab initio calculations allows to distinguish between competing models of the electronic band structure.
