Warnemünde. Wow!
By Matti Sund
People, so many people left their mark. Do we know everything about their footprints in Warnemünde? Is everything we know about those who traveled here "right"?
Stephan Jantzen, Ernst Heinkel, Karl Eschenburg, Carl Schurz, Edvard Munch, Theodor Fontane, Albert Einstein, Karl Friedrich Kerner, Joachim Ringelnatz, Gerhard Hauptmann, Christine Jungmann are just some of the people portrayed and mentioned in this book. We learn about sand carrying in 1740, about the tragic story of a 19th century cowman and his house and protection letter, about an amusing and visionary building consultation with Karl Friedrich Kerner in 1899, about the US Secretary of the Interior Carl Schurz and his friendship with Stephan Jantzen in 1878.
"New and unknown" Ringelnatz texts have emerged. Sund speculates whether Karl Eschenburg, Ernst Heinkel, Hans Rühmann, RSAG boss and Jew Richard Siegmann, Nazi mayor Walter Volgmann, Hans Albers, the daring aviatrix Elly Beinhorn and the World War I aviation hero and later airmaster general of the Wehrmacht, Ernst Udet, met in Warnemünde ...
The fact that one of the stories sings a love story about the town is no coincidence - thirty years of intensive involvement with Warnemünde have obviously left their mark on Sund ...
Little whispers, side episodes, warm-hearted details that invite you to think and reflect and are not always just about Warnemünde.
Seagull flight ... and sailing, sometime, in ten, maybe twenty years, the little words "yes" and "no" ...
See you in Warnemünde, asks Sund.
Will we see each other?
