New Reading Group at the Tucholsky Literature Museum

 

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.

We are all the more delighted to welcome another author: Ricarda Messner, who has been staying in the town writer’s residence in Rheinsberg since August 6th, will be joining the reading circle. On October 1, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., we will discuss her novel "Wo der Name wohnt" with her.

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.

Alfred Wegener Museum

Since 2009 the Alfred Wegener Museum in Zechlinerhütte belongs to our department.
As a child Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) spent his vacations there. He was a "Viking of science" who wanted to discover the secrets of nature with his own observations. He founded the theory of plate tectonics and undertook four trips to the polar region. He died during his great Greenland expedition in 1930.
The museum presents the life of the researcher and raises awareness of questions about climate change.

We stand with Israel

Kurt Tucholsky was of Jewish descent. The museum has been working on Jewish topics for over 30 years, has researched and documented the life of Tucholsky's friend Else Weil, who was murdered in Auschwitz, has been working with the Ernst Ludwig Ehrlich Studienwerk for years, initiated the laying of stumbling blocks in Rheinsberg and much more – a clear commitment to the right to exist of Jews and the State of Israel is important to us as part of our own cultural identity.
