A literary evening about memory, courage, and female self-assertion
This reading in Lauffen am Neckar shines a light on an extraordinary women's biography: Hanne Schiefer, born Johanna Griesinger, documented her memories in prose texts and poems over many years. Katja Schlonski reads selected passages and makes visible how closely personal life, post-war experience, and social engagement are intertwined.
A voice from the post-war period
The evening takes us back to a time of upheaval, in which Hanne Schiefer provided orientation for many women in the region. As a war widow, farmer, and later chairwoman of the rural women's association, she combined everyday hardships with political and social responsibility. This tension lends a special depth to the literary experience: it is not about grand gestures, but about the power of memory and language.
Katja Schlonski reads with journalistic clarity
The reading thrives on the voice of an experienced journalist and former SWR4 editor. Katja Schlonski approaches the text with precision, respect, and a narrative intuition. This creates an intimate reading atmosphere in which historical experience, personal dignity, and linguistic artistry enter into a calm, focused dialogue.
A venue with a fitting setting
The event takes place at the Lauffener Weingärtner eG at Im Brühl 48. The large hall provides the appropriate setting for an author encounter that does not rely on event noise, but on closeness, listening, and cultural concentration. The event is part of the Strong Women series and thus contributes to a discourse that brings together female life paths, regional history, and cultural memory.
Why it's worth attending
For those who appreciate literary readings, this is more than a biographical retrospective. The evening combines contemporary history, female perspective, and carefully selected text passages into a calm, inspiring format. Visitors can look forward to an evening that touches, informs, and highlights the importance of female voices in cultural memory. Experiencing this reading live is worthwhile for all who understand literature as an encounter with history.
