Our 63rd City Writer, Domenico Müllensiefen, shares his experiences from his three-month residency in Rheinsberg—acting as an explorer revisiting the town. In his short story "Ein Abend am See" (An Evening by the Lake), the Leipzig-based author illustrates how idealized expectations clash with reality, all while maintaining his characteristic directness, humor, and openness. Taking a specific experience as a starting point, he bridges the gap to the past, weaving together memories and personal experiences to offer a deeply personal glimpse into his life.
Since arriving in Rheinsberg by bicycle from Leipzig in May, he has given readings from his novel *Manchmal muss man sich entscheiden* (Sometimes You Have to Choose)—published by Kanon Verlag in February—and provided the reading material for the Tucholsky Reading Circle (launched in June) with his novel *Aus unseren Feuern* (From Our Fires), a recipient of the Uwe Johnson Advancement Award.
We look forward to welcoming you to the reading.
Admission: 5,- / 7,- €
Reading and discussing together. The newly formed Tucholsky Literature Museum reading group invites interested readers to join in reading books and sharing their reading experiences four times a year. The selection will include contemporary novels as well as rediscovered works from Kurt Tucholsky’s era.
The inaugural meeting took place on July 9 at 6:00 p.m. at the Tucholsky Literature Museum. The book discussed was *Aus unseren Feuern*, the debut novel by our resident writer Domenico Müllensiefen. Müllensiefen was present at the event and gave a reading from the book—published in 2022—following the group discussion.
The event is free of charge; however, participants are required to purchase the book being discussed and read it in preparation for the evening. Participation is limited to a maximum of 10 people. Those interested can sign up by emailing mail@tucholsky-museum.de.
