Talking about Home: Volker Bruckmann Guest at the Story Café
Home often begins where memory finds a voice: in familiar sounds, special smells, old songs, and personal stories. At the Story Café in the Alfred-Zingler-Haus, the chairman of the Heimatbund, Volker Bruckmann, invites you on November 16, 2026, to engage in discussions about the topic of home.
Between Memory and Present
Under the title Home – Feelings, Sounds, Smells, Songs... what else?, a literary space opens for personal storytelling. Guests are invited to share their own stories or read a text they have brought along. Whether cheerful, thoughtful, ironic, or serious: Every perspective expands the cultural dialogue about what connects people to a place.

A Reading Atmosphere with Coffee and Cake
