Reading: A tribute to Albert Einstein in Ahrenshoop - with secco and confectionery A Baltic Sea travel portrait
Preferably barefoot or without socks in sandals, dressed inconspicuously, incognito in the village and unpacking his violin in the evening - this is how Albert Einstein felt at home in Ahrenshoop. The most famous guest of all time in the former artists' colony, who is talked about the least, lived modestly. Even when it came to food: clear broth, egg mayonnaise with "canned salmon", potatoes, mushrooms, freshly caught fish, pork fillet with chestnuts. Einstein didn't care for culinary extravagances. Alcohol? Rarely or never. He preferred to drink black tea. But wine and sparkling wine were of course served to visitors (including celery punch, which he made himself). Using letters, anecdotes and biographical notes, the author Dr. Kristine von Soden paints a dazzling portrait of the loner and passionate sailor in Ahrenshoop and other Baltic stations in the 1920s, right up to his forced departure from Germany in 1932 as a persecuted Jew and pacifist. You are invited to this special tribute - with secco and confectionery!
Dr. Kristine von Soden was born in Hamburg and worked for many years as a feature author for NDR and DLF and as a lecturer at Hamburg University on biographies of Jewish scientists, writers and artists in the Weimar Republic. Prominent names among them spent their summer vacations on the Baltic Sea in Ahrenshoop. Since her childhood, the doctor of humanities and author has been closely connected and familiar with the Baltic Sea and the North Frisian Islands. This has resulted in several books, such as "Stille Winkel auf Fischland, Darß und Zingst" and "Ahrenshoop. Balancing on the sea foam line". Dr. Kristine von Soden has regularly offered her popular literary tours, writing workshops and readings in the Baltic resort of Ahrenshoop for several years.
Admission: 30 minutes before the event | Duration: 1 hour | Followed by a discussion and exchange over confectionery and sparkling wine
