There is finally new material from Michael Kibler!

When the daughter of private detective Steffen Horndeich finds a compact cassette during the apartment clearance of the deceased life coach Wotan Mueller, a case suddenly emerges where hardly anything is as it seems at first...

For on the tape is a disturbing dialogue: A woman asks Mueller to bury a dead child – allegedly his own. Mueller's ex-girlfriend knows nothing of the five-year-old recording, but she doubts that his fatal fall in the bathtub was an accident. Now it's up to Horndeich and his partner Jana Welzer to bring the truth to light. Are the cassette and the death connected?

HEIKE GEISSLER liest »Michaela Kohlhaas«

Heike Geißler's novel »Michaela Kohlhaas« is a daring reinterpretation of the famous novella by Heinrich von Kleist. "The sense of justice turned him into a robber and murderer." Thus tells Kleist in his novella about the horse dealer Michael Kohlhaas, who exacts bloody revenge after suffering injustice. His campaign of vengeance serves as a model and manual for Michaela Kohlhaas, a deputy cemetery administrator, two hundred years later. She is a scolding, a stinking, a tender being. A great lover who desires not merely improvement – she demands reparation and atonement. And a completely different order of the world. Yet, where Michael kills and pillages, Michaela primarily acts with words: with sharpness, exaggeration, sabotage, and show. Like a supposed witch, she moves through the land, cursing and uttering maledictions. And she must realize: It is a disadvantage to be a woman. It is a disadvantage to resist. But even if the whole world deems her insane – she goes "with flying banners" towards her end, hoping for a good ending, yet sensing: Such an ending may not exist.

Heike Geißler was born in 1977 in Riesa. As an author, she also works across genres in various formations (Sabotique and George Bele). She was most recently the Dorothea-Schlegel-Artist-in-Residence at FU Berlin. In 2025, she received the Klopstock Prize for new literature, the Heinrich Böll Prize, and the Bavarian Book Prize. Heike Geißler lives in Leipzig.

Reading: Heike Geißler | Moderation: Katrin Schumacher | Publisher: Suhrkamp

A cooperation of the Societaetstheater with the festival Literatur JETZT! and the Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk.

Duration: approx. 90 minutes

The event is a warm-up for the Literatur JETZT! festival, which will take place from 23rd to 27th September 2026. It will be recorded for the program "Unter Büchern unterwegs" (MDR KULTUR). The broadcast date will be announced in September.

Michaela Kohlhaas - eine tollkühne Überschreibung von Kleists berühmter Novelle

Michaela Kohlhaas is the deputy cemetery manager. Fueled by experienced arbitrations and powerlessness, she becomes rebellious. But whereas Michael Kohlhaas murders and wreaks havoc, she primarily acts with words: with sharpness, exaggeration, sabotage, and show. Like a supposed witch, she curses and utters maledictions as she travels the land. And must realize: It is a disadvantage to be a woman.

Musikalische Lesung mit Michael Kobr - Sturm über ChristiansØ

Musical READING
with Michael Kobr
and Stephan Winkler / Piano

In the middle of the Baltic Sea, not far from the Danish sun island Bornholm, lie the small Pea Islands. A few dozen inhabitants, plenty of nature, and picturesque fishing huts: the perfect idyll. Until the young environmental activist Anna mysteriously disappears. Lennart Ipsen, head of the Bornholm criminal police, takes the mail ship to start initial investigations on the tiny Christiansø. But a fierce storm is brewing, and Lennart is stuck. And while the wind batters the islands, he must realize that even this seemingly enchanted place has not been spared from the challenges of modern times - and that envy, hatred, and greed have found their firm place here.

MICHAEL KOBR is one of the most successful German bestselling authors of recent years. He not only brings the protagonists of his bestsellers to life on stage with varied voices and different dialects, but also provides empathetic insights into the inner life of his new commissioner.
With "Sturm über Christianso," Michael Kobr presents his fourth solo crime novel featuring investigator Lennart Ipsen. Look forward to a charming and captivating blend of live music and crime.

Vorpremiere von Mo Enders zu "What's written in Blood"

Exclusive preview ONLY WITH US in PANKOW:

She solves every case. But her own past remains a mystery.

A brutal series of murders shakes London – and all evidence points to the magical community. Now, Piper de Burgh, the youngest and most successful forensic investigator in the city, is called upon. With a brief touch, she can glimpse into the past of the victims. And they all have one thing in common: the last person they saw before their death was a man with a single white strand of hair and an intense gaze, one that haunts Piper. Is he the murderer? And why does he seem so damn familiar to her?

The key to this case seems to be hidden in Piper's own past. But that has been in the dark since she was pulled from the Thames years ago with no memories. When her friends also become targets of the perpetrator, Piper bets everything on one card and puts herself in the utmost danger.

The beginning of a dark, action-packed, and humorously told fantasy crime series about magic, betrayal, and deceptive truths.

An exciting new genre mix: Crime meets Urban Fantasy.
A forensic investigator with magical abilities investigates in London, which is populated by various fantastic creatures.
Perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch and Cassandra Clare.

Lesung & Gespräch mit Dorit David: Lichtgier

The idyllic landscape of Uckermark becomes the backdrop for a tangled family story against the social backdrop of East and West, of right and left, of light and dark.
In the middle of February, a retired chemistry teacher is found lifeless in his burned garden shed by Lake Ucker. The investigation results from the Prenzlau police do not indicate murder. However, arson is clearly evident. The coveted prime piece of land by Lake Ucker is a juicy morsel for investors. The deceased leaves behind three adult children in western Germany. Why is nobody looking into this more closely, they wonder. Especially Peggy, the youngest daughter, doubts even more when it turns out that the old man apparently bequeathed his estate to an unknown younger woman: Ida Rutenberg. The search for her leads to a property management company in Magdeburg, then further to Poland, and suddenly an esoteric commune comes into focus.

Library director Josephine Borth will talk with the Uckermark native Dorit David about her novel, which takes place in Prenzlau, about writing, and her life as an author. Of course, the author will also read some passages from her crime novel.

Doors open: 18:00, beverage catering

WO DIE TOTEN SPRECHEN – Lesung mit Jaroslav Rudiš

Lorenzo, Caspar, and Miss Detroit are on the road in the old Saab. Three friends, somewhere between midlife and weariness of life. Their destination: the cemeteries of Central Europe. While Lorenzo devours books and tries to write a doctoral thesis on dead European poets, Miss Detroit dreams of becoming a cemetery botanist and speaks with the dead through the flowers. And the nearly blind Caspar thinks of his father in the Bohemian Paradise, whose deceased friends still haunt his regular pub. With every kilometer traveled, the three grow closer together and hear the voices of the dead from grave to grave more clearly: What are they talking about? And who should you definitely not listen to? When they intercept looting Reich citizens at a Berlin cemetery and take the bones of an NS criminal, an absurd chase begins along the borders of Central Europe. Jaroslav Rudiš sets out on a fast-paced odyssey and tells of friendship, transience, and what holds us together in Europe.

Moderation: Kathrin Matern, journalist and bookseller

Michaela Kohlhaas

"The sense of justice turned him into a robber and murderer." So Heinrich von Kleist tells in his eponymous novella about the horse dealer Michael Kohlhaas, who exacts bloody revenge after suffering injustice. But what happens when a woman demands relentless justice in the 21st century? Heike Geißler's latest novel is a daring rewriting of Kleist's famous novella. Her Michaela is one who curses, one who stinks, one who is tender. A great lover who does not merely want improvement – she demands restitution and atonement. And a completely different arrangement of the world.
Heike Geißler writes on her Instagram channel, "You don't have to know Michael Kohlhaas by Kleist to understand my book. It is enough to live and disagree with the world as it is."
Heike Geißler, born in 1977 in Riesa, grew up there and in Chemnitz, studied American Studies, Politics, and Geography in Dresden, and Hispanic Studies and Literary Studies in Halle. In the year 2025 alone, she received three significant literary awards: the Klopstock Prize for New Literature, the Heinrich Böll Prize, and the Bavarian Book Prize.
The reading will be moderated by Katharina Erlenwein, a freelance journalist.

"Michael Kohlhaas" von Heinrich von Kleist

A man, two horses, and the unwavering belief in justice – Michael Kohlhaas, horse dealer, family man, God-fearing, is a man of order in a world of arbitrariness. What begins as a small abuse of power – an unjustified customs duty, two abused stallions – escalates into a wildfire. Kohlhaas, deeply wounded in his honor and sense of justice, seeks what is right. But what to do when the state fails and the law is merely a plaything subject to the whims of the powerful?

Kleist's famous novella unfolds like a dark ride through the abysses of morality and power. Kohlhaas sets cities ablaze, murders, and loses himself in his unwavering pursuit of justice. Is he a hero or a terrorist? A visionary or a madman? Between right and wrong, order and anarchy, Michael Kohlhaas negotiates the question of what remains of a person when the last piece of dignity is stripped away. A lesson on the violence of principles – and the principles of violence.

Directed by JOCHEN SCHÖLCH
Featuring MARC-PHILIPP KOCHENDÖRFER

Michael Kobr liest - Sturm über Christians

Bestselling author Michael Kobr, known for the iconic and best-selling Kluftinger crime novels, has enriched the crime fiction landscape with his new novel series, which particularly ignites the wanderlust. Lennart Ipsen investigates on the Danish holiday island of Bornholm. In June, the fourth volume of the series “Sturm über Christiansø” was released.

Michael Kobr is taking new paths for the readings from his new solo series about the Bornholm commissioner Lennart Ipsen. Together with pianist Stephan Winkler, with whom he shares a long-standing close friendship, he presents a captivating mix of virtuosic piano sounds and exciting scenes from the Ipsen crime novels. Kobr has a knack for bringing the protagonists of his bestsellers to life on stage with altered voice and various dialects, and he also offers sensitive insights into the inner life of his new commissioner. The text elements are atmospherically accompanied by Winkler's piano sounds. It's almost a given that humorous anecdotes from the lives of the two artists and former teaching colleagues will also come to light, and they are not shy about speaking their minds. Laughter, therefore, will surely not be in short supply at this Kobr reading. And even singing will take place during this unique evening. Look forward to this charming and captivating blend of live music and crime!
