Brecht on the Boat Ride: Love Poetry between Water, City Wall, and Evening Light
When Bertolt Brecht's love poems resound during the Augsburg boat ride, literary precision meets a location with a special aura. The reading connects Augsburg's cultural history with linguistic art, intimacy, and a poetic perspective on the city where Brecht was born and spent his early years.
An Evening for Literature Enthusiasts with a Sense of Stance and Tone
The bookseller Kurt Idrizovic and the writer Ulrike Schimpf bring Brecht's poems into a lively dialogue. Not sentimental, but fully awake and attentive, a literary experience unfolds here that broadens the view of Brecht: as a world-class dramatist, as a political thinker, and as a poet with surprising tenderness.
The Boat Ride as a Literary Stage
The Augsburg boat ride at the city moat offers a unique reading atmosphere. Water, historical city walls, and evening ambience create a framework in which language becomes physically tangible. This very connection of place and text is what makes such author encounters appealing: literature appears not abstract, but close, breathing, and present.
Reading Brecht Anew: Love, Rhythm, and Contradiction
Brecht's poetry is more than a historical document. It presents the poet as a keen observer of desire, distance, and social tension. Those attending this reading will experience not just poems, but a small school of reading: musical language, clear images, and that laconic intensity that makes Brecht unmistakable to this day.
What Visitors Can Expect
The reading on June 10, 2026, starts at 7 PM and takes place at the boat ride in Augsburg. The entry fee is 10 euros. Those seeking literary quality, Augsburg's cultural history, and an atmospheric summer evening will find here an event that resonates. This format invites you to encounter Brecht in his original tone and to see the city with new eyes.
