Lesung zu Clara Viebigs "Vom Müller Hannes" mit Manuel Klein

Reading of Clara Viebig's "Vom Müller Hannes" with Manuel Klein

On the occasion of the exhibition "Mills in the Liesertal" at the City Gallery in the Old Town Hall, the Altstadtbuchhandlung Wittlich, in cooperation with the Cultural Office of the City, invites you to a special literary event.
On Thursday, April 16, at 7:00 PM actor Manuel Klein will read from the novel "Vom Müller Hannes" by the writer Clara Viebig.

The novel, first published in 1902, tells the impressive story of Müller Hannes, who lived around 1880 at the Middle Mill near Meerfeld. The plot is closely connected to the landscape and the people of the Eifel, drawing on a tale that, according to Viebig, was orally transmitted for a long time. With her atmospheric language and her sensitivity to regional stories, Clara Viebig is one of the significant representatives of literary naturalism.
