Brecht in his own words: Stefan Schön brings a poetic life's work to light
On August 14, 2026, a literary experience will take place at the Brecht House in Augsburg that not only recites Brecht's poetry but also makes it audible in a historic and linguistic new way. Stefan Schön spans the arc from the early texts of the House Postile through the exile poems to the Buckower Elegies and the later work In the morning the fir trees are copper. The reading for the 70th anniversary of Bertolt Brecht's death connects linguistic art, memory, and author-encounter in one of Augsburg's most authentic places.

An evening between House Postile and late verses
Stefan Schön, announced as a theater director and Brecht expert, places Brecht's lyrical side at the center. It is precisely in the concentration on poems that Brecht's precise work with rhythm, imagery, and political experience is revealed. The reading traverses different phases of his work and opens the view to lesser-known pieces that gain special intensity in the atmosphere of the Brecht House.

The place: Brecht House Augsburg as a literary resonance space
The Brecht House at Auf dem Rain 7 is Brecht's birthplace and today serves as a memorial and museum. The historic craftsman's house is located in Augsburg's old town and is overseen by the Art Collections and Museums of Augsburg. For literary events, this place is more than just a backdrop: it condenses biography, city history, and work into a concentrated reading atmosphere.
