Literary Matinee at the Brecht House: Gunna Wendt tells stories of departure, rivalry, and bohemia
On June 28, 2026, a reading is scheduled at the Brecht House in Augsburg that combines literature, contemporary history, and strong female biographies. Gunna Wendt presents her book Women of Tomorrow. The Richthofen Sisters in the Circle of the Boheme and takes the audience into the cultural upheaval around 1900.
Between Schwabing Bohemia and Female Self-Assertion
Else and Frieda von Richthofen belonged to a generation that did not accept conventions but rethought them. In the environment of the Schwabing bohemia, they encountered influential figures from culture and science, including Max Weber and Rainer Maria Rilke. The dual biography paints an intense picture of rivalry, self-discovery, and female emancipation.
Gunna Wendt brings experience and narrative depth
The author lives as a freelance writer and exhibition curator in Munich. She works for theater and radio and has published numerous biographies, including those of Liesl Karlstadt, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Franziska zu Reventlow, and Maria Callas. This professional breadth also shapes the perspective on the Richthofen sisters: precise, knowledgeable, and close to the historical figures.
The place fits the story
The Brecht House is not only a literary memorial site but also a house with a special aura. In the historical building Auf dem Rain 7, Brecht's life and work become tangible, and this environment enhances the event experience of a literary matinee. Those who take a seat here experience atmosphere rather than mere reading.
Practically well planned
The event begins on June 28, 2026, at 11:00 AM. Admission costs 8 euros. Registration by phone is required, according to the organizer. The Brecht House is not barrier-free due to its historical structure, which is important to consider when planning your visit.
Conclusion: This reading is aimed at people who appreciate literary depth, strong female figures, and a special environment. At the Brecht House in Augsburg, a book presentation becomes a concentrated cultural event with resonance. Those who want to experience well-founded literature and historical perspectives live should mark this date.
