After years in exile: Finally a trip back to Germany. In 1843, Heinrich Heine returns to Germany to visit his mother and see his publisher. From this trip emerged one of the most known and famous poems in the German language. DEUTSCHLAND. EIN WINTERMÄRCHEN is not just a travel description; it is a humorous, philosophical, and intelligent reflection on a Germany that is mired in small-state politics and shaped by Prussian militarism. It reveals the weaknesses and strengths of a country from the familiar outsider’s perspective of a returnee. Immediately banned upon publication, burned by the Nazis, this significant poetry remained stigmatized for a long time.
The issues that Heine's epic raises are particularly relevant today: homelessness, anti-Semitism, German nationalism, totalitarianism. But also the love for one’s homeland and the firm belief that it can become a better country.
While Germany has been searching for its summer fairy tale since 2006, the eponymous poem will be seen for the first time as a theater production at the Theater Ansbach.
