The narrative in Ehm Welk's novel "Die Heiden von Kummerow" is peppered with various amusing incidents and pranks - all of which contain a critical view of village life at the time. Individual episodes are presented in words and pictures.

The narrative in Ehm Welk's novel "Die Heiden von Kummerow" is peppered with various amusing incidents and pranks - all of which contain a critical view of village life at the time.

We want to read stories about Martin Grambauer and the other Kummerow residents who, despite resistance from the at least physically respectable Pastor Breithaupt, still indulge in "heathen baptism", who sacrifice more or less sumptuous St. Martin's geese to church violence and who gain more than just views from the church tower. These passages from Welk's novel will be juxtaposed with examples of their scenic realization.

We invite you to listen to the performances of episodes from Welk's successful novel over a cup of coffee.

Good to know
