Lesung mit C. Lachmann "Rauhnächte" - Altstadt Buchhandlung

Reading with Christoph Lachmann "Rauhnächte - A Time Outside of Time" at the Altstadt Bookstore Wittlich on December 3, 2026

Customs or superstition? Predicting the future? No laundry washing? Incense burning? In many cultures, people used the long nights of Raunächte for rituals: to connect with their ancestors and protect themselves from evil spirits. Today, in our fast-paced time, the Raunächte are gaining significance again. The days "between the years" feel like a state of suspension for many. It's as if we long for a break – a moment to press the reset button. To find peace. To arrive at ourselves.
At the same time, this time is marked by transience and new beginnings. We look back, reflect on the old, and create space for the new.

In bookstores, there are numerous guides on the Raunächte. There are also many incense rituals and other practices that are applied during this special time. But do we really need all of that – especially in our today's time?

Christoph Lachmann – geomancer and feng shui consultant – invites you to embark on a journey through customs and their significance together. Let's connect the old traditions with our modern way of life.
