In the context of the small fine reading tour of the Thalia Bookstore with Freudenstadt Tourism, Dietlinde Ellsässer reads excerpts from her new novel: - As a village child on the boards that mean the world -. It is about experiences. Dreams. About moments of happiness on and behind the stage. A stubborn path with some stumbling blocks and much more happiness than complaint. A path that leads out of the small Swabian Hemmendorf into the big theater world - and it is by no means an easy one. To realize one's own dream as a village child and to encourage others with precisely this story; that is what Dietlinde Ellsässer wants to achieve.

Presented by: Dietlinde Ellsässer, who leaves her hometown at 17, arrives with plenty of curiosity at the Lindenhof Theater on the Alb, which she co-founds and designs. She successfully plays the role of Katharina Memlerin in “Night or Day or Now,” directs her own plays, and has been working independently for many years, among other things as “Josephe vom Dohlengässle” in a Swabian mission. Her book “Mach nur so weiter” also literarily ties into the incredible success of the always positive and life-affirming Dietlinde Ellsässer. Photo: Fani Fazii

Buchlesung „Einfach losgehn!“ mit NDR-Reporterin Heike Götz

Heike Götz, known to many as a NDR presenter from "Landpartie", has been pilgrimaging for years with her husband – in Spain, Germany, and Japan. She is particularly passionate about discovering her own homeland slowly on foot. She comes from Grimmen, lives in Hamburg, and the Via Baltica, a northern German Camino de Santiago from Usedom to Bremen, runs through both cities.

She has walked this approximately 600-kilometer route both for the NDR program "Pilgern im Norden" and privately. In her book, she describes this route very personally and authentically: through Hanseatic cities like Greifswald, Rostock, Wismar, Lübeck, and Hamburg, as well as through the diverse nature of northern Germany.

Pilgrimage is currently experiencing a renaissance. In addition to spiritual quests, many people are motivated by a sense of adventure, simplicity, the thrill of sport, or the desire to rediscover their own homeland – amplified by Corona, climate change, and the need for a simpler lifestyle.

The Via Baltica is a newly marked, historically inspired path that is maintained by volunteers and supported by numerous pilgrim accommodations. Götz describes pilgrimage as a heartfelt project, shaped by encounters, hospitality, and the reduced life from a backpack. Her travel report invites readers to discover northern Germany in a new way or to awaken their own pilgrimage memories.

Lesereise quer Beet 2026 - Julia Heinecke liest aus Kalte Weide

In the Bärenschlössle, Julia Heinecke recounts the story of the shepherd boy Miggi in the Black Forest during the 1940s and describes the system of "herding children" - between hard work, changing experiences on farms, and the effects of the war. From today's perspective, child labor, all parties involved benefited from this system in the past: the parents had one less eater at the table, the herding child enough to eat, the farmer a cheap labor force.

Presented by: Julia Heinecke studied languages and cultural studies and lives and works as a freelance editor, translator, and author in Freiburg. For many years, she guided visitors through the Black Forest Open Air Museum Vogtsbauernhof. In the meantime, in addition to "Kalte Weide," six more novels have been published. The Bärenschlössle reading series is a cooperation between the Thalia bookstore and Freudenstadt Tourism.

Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Lesereise quer Beet 2026 - Gisa Pauly liest aus Windjammer

When the Lünnemanns claim after years that they have recognized their kidnapped child, it stirs up quite a commotion on Sylt. But just before Chief Detective Erik can unveil the truth, a dead body is found. Soon it turns out that this very person - the sculptor - had some secrets. While Mamma Carlotta's regular pub is joyfully celebrating its 20th birthday and the police are investigating the murder case, the Italian amateur detective conducts her own inquiries. A child that was taken away from its parents? Dio mio. It would be quite a feat if Mamma Carlotta didn't get to the bottom of it.

Presented by: Gisa Pauly lives as a freelance writer, journalist, and screenwriter in Münster, and she prefers to spend her vacations on Sylt or in Italy. She has received multiple awards, including being voted the favorite author of the year 2018 by readers of a television magazine. Her crime series featuring the spirited Mamma Carlotta storms the SPIEGEL bestseller list year after year. The author photo is provided by Piper Verlag. The quer Beet reading series is a collaboration between Thalia Bookstore and Freudenstadt Tourism.

Lesung mit Musik: Reise durch (k)ein Land

Author Jens-Uwe Berndt reads from his novel “Reise durch (k)ein Land”, Ola van Sander (singer and guitarist of the band Bad Penny) sings and plays East German rock classics and oldies.

Three 19-year-olds embark on a hitchhiking tour through the GDR in the summer of 1984. Without a tent, without a destination, and without a time limit, they are carried from north to south through the small country and experience it with all its facets, contradictions, restrictions, and freedoms. They ride with anyone who stops, no matter the direction.

“Reise durch (k)ein Land” is based on diary entries and describes everyday life between Cape Arkona and Fichtelberg without glossing over anything. For this reason, it is not a book that relies on clichés typical of memory literature. From the many arbitrary encounters of the three protagonists with people who had settled in the GDR, those who rebelled, those who went along with the flow, or those who felt perfectly at home, a comprehensive picture of a reality between bleakness and total madness emerges.

Lesereise quer Beet 2026 - Hannah Häffner liest aus "Die Riesinnen"

Wittenmoos is the home of three women. Tall and thin, they tower over everyone else and do not fit into the village community at all. And yet, they are rooted here and must find their own way within the narrow confines of the village. Liese, who runs the butcher shop quietly and relentlessly. Cora, her angry daughter, who will break free and must learn that returning home is not a defeat. And Eva, Cora's daughter, who loves the forest so much and must become aware of it. In dark, yet also tender poetry, Hanna Häffner tells the story of three women spanning from the 1960s to our time with stylistic precision, fine humor, and a subtle gift of observation.

Hannah Häffner was born in 1985 in Heidelberg. After studying political science, she initially began working as an advertising copywriter while also dedicating herself to writing. Today, she lives with her family as an immensely successful freelance writer near Stuttgart. Photo: Tanja Kernweiss An event by Freudenstadt Tourism in cooperation with Thalia Freudenstadt

„Reise durch (k)ein Land“ - eine musikalische Lesung mit Jens-Uwe Berndt und dem Musiker Ola von Sander

„Reise durch (k)ein Land“ – a musical reading with Jens-Uwe Berndt and the musician Ola von Sander

What was it really like with freedom in the GDR? Hitchhiking through the country from south to north, without a real goal, without time pressure, was that possible? And what crazy characters could you meet? Punks, people with thoughts of escaping the Republic, tourists from the FRG, loyal comrades... Spontaneous parties, campsite romance, police checks... Freedom in the land of many borders? The well-known author Jens-Uwe Berndt has turned real diary entries into an exciting novel set in 1984: „Reise durch (k)ein Land“. The book will be published at the end of March – and together with musician Ola van Sander, the author will go on a reading tour. “Almost 50 pages of the book deal with stories from Dresden,” he reveals. What could be more fitting than inviting him to our cabaret cellar at the Herkuleskeule? Stories, winking, serious, an unflinching description of everyday life between Fichtelberg and Cape Arkona, yet not a clichéd remembrance book. It’s about people. People who had settled in, who rebelled, or simply felt very comfortable in this small republic that was far too small for many. And music that fits, East rock with songs from Renft & Co.... A special evening that asks the question of freedom differently than usual.

Lesereise quer Beet 2026 - Carla Berling liest aus "Glück für Wiedereinsteiger"

I'm going to brush my teeth, should I take yours with me? Pardon, thinks Thea, as her 40th wedding anniversary approaches and her husband Ronny has already mentally placed their married life in a retirement home. What has become of passion and adventure? Now that the kids have moved out and there’s finally time for one’s own dreams? It’s time to pull the emergency brake. So they announce at their anniversary party, in front of a gathered crowd, that they are going their separate ways from now on. The newly minted singles are well prepared for this. They think. And then everything suddenly turns out differently than expected.

Carla Berling, an unabashed East Westphalian with a Rhineland temperament, lives in Cologne, is married, and has two sons. With the crime series featuring Ira Wittekind, she immediately finds success as a self-publisher. With “Der Alte muss weg,” she successfully transitions into humorous entertainment. Under the pseudonym Felicitas Fuchs, she also writes historical family stories. Before her career as an author, Carla Berling worked for many years as a local reporter and press photographer.

Lesereise quer Beet 2026: Reinhard Keck mit der Lesereise nach London

On Wednesday, July 1st, the reading series at the Christophstaler "Bärenschlössle" goes international. Thalia Bookstore, in collaboration with Freudenstadt Tourism, presents a reading under the British flag. The native of Freudenstadt, Reinhard Keck, will introduce his meticulously researched, time-consuming, and heartfelt travel guide "Lesereise London" on this evening. He has been reporting as a freelance correspondent for German-speaking media from the British capital for ten years. In his book, he paints a poetic portrait of the metropolis and introduces people who represent London's diversity. For instance, he dines with the renowned chef Asma Khan at Darjeeling Express in Soho, gets behind the scenes of the Globe Theatre with a Shakespeare performer, follows a music journalist through Camden Town in search of pop culture icons, sips tea at a garden party in Buckingham Palace, and makes a pilgrimage to the Cup Final at the football cathedral, Wembley. In his neighborhood, the once rough and increasingly hip working-class district of Bermondsey, he experiences the charm and humor of the last remnants of the Cockney cosmos. Reinhard Keck shares these and many more exciting insights into his life with great enthusiasm and love for his "second home."

Reinhard Keck (*1981) grows up in Freudenstadt, studies literature and journalism in Erfurt and London, and writes for the regional daily newspaper Schwarzwälder Bote as a teenager. After his apprenticeship as a sports reporter in Munich, he reports from crisis regions in the Middle East and Africa as a journalist. Today, Reinhard Keck lives as a correspondent in Great Britain and writes about international politics as well as economic and social issues. On weekends, one might encounter the father of two daughters in London parks or at the stadium of the South London football club Millwall FC.

Lesereise quer Beet 2026: Helga Becker ermittelt undercover alias Frau Nägele in "D'r letschte Tango"

On Thursday, July 9th, the popular author will visit Freudenstadt as part of the reading series "Quer Beet." In the district of Dietersweiler, she will embark on a quest for clues at 7:00 PM as the passionate amateur investigator Frau Nägele, bringing her interested readers and listeners along for the ride. Will the case be solved?

Content: Right to the point! A photo shoot at Hohenasperg takes an unexpected turn - on his wedding day, the groom, head of a biker gang, is shot with an arrow from his Harley. For Elvira Nägele, a private investigator by nature, it is immediately clear: Something is not right! To the dismay of Commissioner Egon Lauer, she begins to snoop around on her own. The case leads from the Swabian "Fate Mountain" deep into the local biker scene. Suddenly, the Swabian Miss Marple is dealing with some serious bad boys. But Frau Nägele wouldn't be Frau Nägele if she didn't brave all dangers and criminal confusions. However, amidst the investigations, not only her environment is shaken, but also her emotional world. Because just with her "BMVÄ," the "best man of all," things crash dramatically. Yet the quirky chatterbox remains unfazed. In a swing and tango rhythm, she dances lightly through lies and passion - and right into life-threatening danger.

Helga Becker, born in 1958 in Murr an der Murr, is the mother of two daughters. Together with her husband, photographer Richard Becker, she lives in Bottwartal near Ludwigsburg. After completing her Abitur and a commercial training, she works as a city archivist in her hometown Steinheim an der Murr. With great astonishment, Helga Becker has realized how much she loves making other people laugh and how much joy and energy she draws from her performances and readings. Her lively imagination, her Swabian humor, and her fine sense of local color form the basis for her crime comedies featuring the amateur investigator Frau Nägele. With this cult figure, Helga Becker is also active as a cabaret artist and singer throughout the entire region.

Lesereise quer Beet 2026: Markus Orths liest aus "Die Enthusiasten"

On Thursday, July 30, the author Markus Orths will be a guest for the first time as part of the reading series "Quer Beet" in Freudenstadt. In the district of Wittlensweiler, he will take the attendees of the reading on a journey to a rather special family, where book plateaus hang from the ceiling and stories come to life.

What do a obsessed Laurence Sterne fan on an adventurous hunt for the alleged tenth volume of 'Tristram Shandy', a particle researcher who has been trying for years to eavesdrop on dark matter particles shielded by kilometers of rock, a cinema enthusiast who comes up with wild experimental films, a small town in northern England, and a sensational find have in common? They all appear in "Die Enthusiasten", probably the most turbulent and daring novel in a long time, which dramatically explores the boundaries of what can be told and what is human-made art. Also involved: a mysterious Thai woman, an infinitely lovable, book-obsessed, and headstrong mother who disappears without a trace, and a father who only answers unprecedented questions.

Markus Orths (*1969 in Viersen) studied Romance languages, English, and philosophy in Freiburg and initially worked as a teacher in Göppingen. Orths has published several novels such as "Lehrerzimmer", "Catalina", and "Das Zimmermädchen" (this book will also be adapted into a film in 2015). Audio plays and children's books are also part of the author's passion, who led writing workshops for a time and held several poetry professorships at universities.

Über Grenzen & Hoch.Hinaus · Lesung mit Margot Flügel-Anhalt

What if the right moment for the big adventure wasn't sometime earlier – but now?
Margot Flügel-Anhalt proves just that: At 64 years old, she gets on a motorcycle for the first time and simply rides off. Alone, across Central Asia, over the Pamir Highway, through countries that are just names on a map for many. This results in her impressive book "Über Grenzen" – a journey that breaks not only geographical boundaries.

And she doesn't stop.

Six years later, at almost 70 years old, she sets off again: With a colorfully spray-painted old Lada, a bright red Hilleberg tent, and a Therm-a-Rest mat for sub-zero temperatures, she is back on the road. 22,000 kilometers to the highest mountains in the world, to the legendary Nanga Parbat. Encounters, dramatic events, and a breathtaking journey that makes you suddenly feel how precious it is to be alive.

On this special evening, Margot Flügel-Anhalt presents both books, shares her experiences on the road, of courage, freedom, doubts, and the great joy of embarking on a journey.

A reading for all those who dream of traveling – and for all those who want to remember that it's never too late to aim high.

Raus aus dem Hamsterrad - und ab auf´s Surfbrett - Impuls-Lesung für mehr innere Ruhe und Leichtigkeit im Arbeitsleben als Frau

Christine Sing lives what many dream of: After a steep career at Volkswagen, she exchanged her office job for a surfboard in 2018 and has been living between Tenerife and Esslingen ever since. And: She has made her vision for a more livable (work) world her profession: As a self-employed consultant, she advocates for more women in leadership and new forms of work.

Openly and authentically, she shares her experiences and challenges of this liberating change, gives insights into her feelings, and shares her most important insights.

Christine Sing wants to inspire and encourage others – to occasionally step out of their own hamster wheel, to follow their dreams, and to continually discover new horizons.

***
Christine Sing is a trained cultural scientist and works as an author, coach, and consultant for a more livable working world.

She experienced how unjust and unhealthy the current work system is during her career at Volkswagen. After stints in China, the Czech Republic, and Wolfsburg, where she was the press spokesperson, she decided in 2018 to exchange her office job for a surfboard. She has made her vision for a more livable working world her profession: As a self-employed surf consultant, she has since advocated for more women in leadership, new masculinity, and healthier work forms.

To this end, she supports people in coaching and designs empowering workshops for companies on gender bias and new work.

Christine Sing now works and lives freely – between Stuttgart, Tenerife, Nicaragua, and the surf beaches of this world, and is in Germany for events half of the year.
