Lesung | Arno Strobel | Ungelöst – Die erste Zeugin

Dive into the world of suspense! On March 9, 2026, we welcome Arno Strobel – the master of psychological tension. His thrillers take us into the darkest corners of the human psyche and leave us breathless. Experience a reading that will not let you go. Be there when the door to a world full of puzzles and unexpected twists opens!

Medical student Luisa Menkhoff recognizes the missing woman from the flyer. It has been years since she last saw her. But she can remember it as if it were yesterday. Nicole Klement was the partner of the man who kidnapped Luisa when she was five years old. And she was also involved back then.
Luisa immediately contacts the Munich police and meets Chief Inspector Ramin Brunner, who is just about to establish a new cold case unit aimed at solving old cases using modern methods.
When Luisa describes the circumstances of her abduction as a child, Ramin is astonished. Luisa has an eidetic memory and remembers every detail of a situation she has experienced. And everything she says suggests that her kidnapper back then - Dr. Joachim Lichner - now has Nicole Klement in his power.
Luisa is brought in as an external consultant for the current missing person case. Until it becomes clear that she must have been mistaken. Because there is evidence that it cannot have been Lichner. But why does Luisa then feel watched? Too late, she and Ramin realize that they have overlooked something crucial that could be disastrous for everyone involved.

Arno Strobel loves boundary experiences and enjoys sharing them with his readers. This is why his thrillers are like exciting journeys into the dark corners of the human soul and do not shy away from the greatest primal fears.
He usually discovers his themes in everyday life, and only when an idea won't let him go and he wants to immediately investigate the backgrounds with the help of his network of experts does he know that the foundation for his next novel has been laid. All of his previous thrillers have been bestsellers.

A class reunion on a luxury train turns into a nightmare – because a murderer is aboard …

The class reunion of the elite boarding school Rosenberg takes place on the luxury train Mireille, but Lara Thomas is there reluctantly: Not only because she has to share the sleeper car with her former school rival Aarón Juez, but also because old disputes are resurfacing during the journey. And memories. And feelings. But then the event is interrupted by a shocking anonymous confession: "I have killed." A murderer is on the train! Lara and Aarón team up to get to the bottom of the truth. But they don't even know if they can trust each other …

Tension-filled emotions meet explosive thrill – with the tropes Forced Proximity, Only One Bed, and Rivals-to-Lovers!

Stefanie Hasse lives with her husband, her children, and her Chihuahua Loki among hundreds of books, over 30 of which she has written herself. When she's not working on her own stories, she loves to dive into other book worlds and blogs about it together with her husband.

JUDITH HERMANN - "Ich möchte zurückgehen in der Zeit" Literatur LIVE Berliner Buchpremiere Moderation: Maike Albath

Judith Hermann follows the traces of her grandfather in "Ich möchte zurückgehen in der Zeit", who was stationed in the Polish city of Radom for the SS during World War II. She connects her writing with his long-denied history, traveling from Poland to visit her sister in Naples, and explores the memories and forgetfulness of the following generations.

In subtle and overt tones, Judith Hermann reveals the repressed, the gaps in our society. Just as magically as magnetically, she narrates how fragile we arrange our lives – and also shows what beauty can be hidden within it.

"Judith Hermann's books are unwavering explorations of human relationships." Roman Bucheli, Neue Zürcher Zeitung

Judith Hermann was born in Berlin in 1970 and now lives in Berlin and Friesland. Following her extraordinary debut "Som merhaus, später," she published the story collections "Nichts als Gespenster," "Alice," "Lettipark," as well as the novels "Aller Liebe Anfang" and "Daheim." Her works have been honored with numerous awards, including international ones. For her latest book, "Wir hätten uns alles gesagt," she received the Wilhelm Raabe Literature Prize in 2023.

"Ich möchte zurückgehen in der Zeit" will be published on February 25, 2026, by S. Fischer Verlag, 192 pages.

LITERATUR(AUSSER)HAUS: Ghost Stories - Ein Abend mit Siri Hustvedt & Maria Furtwängler

Moderation: Susanne Becker (ZDF)

How can one continue to live after the death of a loved one? When Paul Auster was dying, he told his wife that he wanted to become a ghost. And he has become one for Siri Hustvedt: a constantly perceptible presence, painful and comforting at the same time. The great American author reflects in her book of memory (Rowohlt / translated by Uli Aumüller & Grete Osterwald) on 43 years spent together and approaches the impossible wish to bring Paul back to life. Her unprecedented book of grief, memory, and love tells of the legendary author couple from Brooklyn and at the same time of the love couple Siri and Paul; Maria Furtwängler reads the German text passages.

Lesung Judith Hermann

“So much, so little was certain.” A great literary quest about what a life is

Judith Hermann follows the traces of her grandfather in “I Want to Go Back in Time” (S. Fischer), who was stationed with the SS in Polish Radom during World War II. She connects her writing with his long-denied history, travels from Poland to her sister in Naples, and explores the remembering and forgetting of the following generations. In subtle and underlying tones, Judith Hermann detects the repressed, the voids in our society. As magical as it is magnetic, she tells how fragile we settle in our lives – and also shows what beauty may be hidden within.

Judith Hermann, born in 1970 in Berlin, gained great recognition in 1998 with her debut “Summer House, Later.” Since then, numerous publications have appeared, most recently “At Home” (2021) and “We Could Have Told Each Other Everything” (2023). For her work, she has received numerous awards, including the Bremen Literary Prize (2022), the Literature Prize of the North (2022), and the Wilhelm Raabe Literature Prize (2023).

Das geheime Leben der Deutschen

When Germans seek the special and exotic, they travel to distant countries. Yet, they only need to look over the fence, just turn the corner, and they would make the most incredible discoveries. For right in the middle of Germany, one can find liquid gold, join strange dances, or witness a coronation. It is astonishing what secret world comes to light when one approaches the Germans with such loving patience and friendly curiosity, as Wladimir Kaminer does. And because he also has a special sense of humor, he observes just as much that is amusing as it is astonishing. His stories about the secret life of Germans open the eyes to entirely unknown sides of the land and its people.

"Many people spend a lot of money on long travels; they want to experience exotic things, yet they miss the real adventure right at their doorstep. To understand the world, you don't have to seek its end but the place where it begins." Wladimir Kaminer

Geheimnisse meiner Frau

Reading with Hellmuth Henneberg

While enjoying an evening beer by the garden fire, Hellmuth Henneberg suddenly noticed the female roommate of his house, whom he had married a few years ago, and he began to observe her. Within a short time, shaken by what was happening – previously unnoticed by him – in the domestic environment, the otherwise harmless garden book author discovered the almost unbelievable secrets of his wife, which he wanted to publish under a pseudonym. He initially turned to his former publishers, all of whom rejected him (“Too dangerous!”). Ralf M., a small, daring publisher from Cottbus, heard about it and made Henneberg a diabolical offer: On the condition that each revelation would be accompanied by an illustration by Antje Püpke that portrays the author in an unfavorable light and glorifies the incriminated wife, he would take the risk of publication. The mysterious wife also agreed; she even thought it would have been sufficient to publish the images without her husband’s texts. Hellmuth Henneberg reads his cheerful stories in an inimitable way, and the couples in the audience roll around laughing because they notice: “This is exactly like us…”

“Forget Horst Evers, Wladimir Kaminer, and Richard David Precht!” (Ralf M., small, daring publisher from Cottbus)

True crime & fiction

Peter Probst, born in Munich in 1957, worked as an assistant director and co-director on documentaries after studying, later becoming a successful screenwriter for television crime dramas, comedies, and historical films. He has received multiple awards, including the Grimme Prize. Together with his wife Amelie Fried, he wrote a children's crime series and adapted some of their novels for television. This was followed by crime novels (dtv) and three autofictional novels, the latest being "I did not kidnap Schleyer" in 2023.

His latest book "Am hellichten Tag" was inspired by an unsolved case. The young journalist Toni wants to leave her past behind, but a call about her sick father brings her back to Pirmasens. On the way there, he dies. In his house, she finds a mysterious letter about an old debt. Toni stumbles upon the unresolved disappearance of three children in the 60s – all on Fridays, all near the drill ground. What did her father have to do with it? And why is the police suddenly interested in her? Toni begins to research – and the past becomes ominously current again.

Wer anderen eine Grube gräbt…ist längst verheiratet! - Lesung mit Alexander G. Schäfer

„There is only one way to lead a happy marriage, and as soon as I find out what it is, I will marry again.“

Alexander G. Schäfer has now gathered material on the PROS and CONS of marriage from his own and others’ experiences, including stories, aphorisms, and anecdotes, and will humorously refer to them.

What the audience takes from it, of course, he cannot influence. He philosophically aligns with Socrates, who once remarked:
“Marry or don't marry. You will regret both.”

Lesung und Gespräch | Judith Hermann und Sebastian Guggolz | Ich möchte zurückgehen in der Zeit

Judith Hermann follows the traces of her grandfather in "Ich möchte zurückgehen in der Zeit," who was stationed with the SS in the Polish town of Radom during World War II. She connects her writing with his long-denied history, traveling from Poland to visit her sister in Naples, exploring the remembering and forgetting of subsequent generations.
In between and undertones, Judith Hermann explores what has been repressed, the gaps in our society. As magically as she does magnetically, she narrates how fragile we settle into our lives – and also shows what beauty can hide within it.
Judith Hermann was born in 1970 in Berlin. Her debut "Sommerhaus, später" (1998) received extraordinary resonance. In 2003, the short story collection "Nichts als Gespenster" followed. Some of these stories were adapted for the cinema in 2007. In 2009, "Alice" was published, five stories that were internationally celebrated. In 2014, Judith Hermann released her first novel, "Aller Liebe Anfang." In 2016, the stories "Lettipark" followed, which were awarded the Danish Blixen Prize for short stories. Judith Hermann has been honored with numerous awards for her work, including the Kleist Prize and the Friedrich Hölderlin Prize. In 2021, the novel "Daheim" was published, which was nominated for the Leipzig Book Fair Prize, and for which Judith Hermann received the Bremen Literature Prize in 2022. Most recently, in 2023, "Wir hätten uns alles gesagt" was published by S. FISCHER, based on the Frankfurt Poetics Lectures that Judith Hermann gave in the spring of 2022. For this, she received the Wilhelm Raabe Literature Prize. The author lives and writes in Berlin.
Sebastian Guggolz, born in 1982, studied art history and German studies in Hamburg. He then worked as an editor for the publishing house Matthes & Seitz Berlin. In 2014, he founded Guggolz Verlag, which specializes in new translations of works by forgotten authors from the first half of the 20th century from Northern and Eastern Europe, including the new publication of Boris Poplawski.

Lesung: Wladimir Kaminer - Das geheime Leben der Deutschen

On August 8, 2026, at 7 PM, we welcome the bestselling author Wladimir Kaminer to the Domänenhof of Schlossgut Altlandsberg. With his fine humor and a lovingly ironic perspective, he reads from his book “Das geheime Leben der Deutschen”.

When Germans seek the special and exotic, they like to travel to distant countries. Often, they only need to look over the fence or turn the corner – astonishing discoveries can be made right there. With friendly curiosity and patient observation, Kaminer traces the everyday and finds liquid gold, strange dances, and even small coronations in the middle of Germany.

It is astonishing what secret world becomes visible when one approaches Germans as warmly as Kaminer does. And because he also possesses a very special sense of humor, he discovers just as much that is amusing as it is astonishing: stories that open the eyes to unknown sides of the land and its people.

As Kaminer himself says:
“Many people spend a lot of money on long-distance travel; they want to experience exotic things, yet they miss the true adventure right at their doorstep. To understand the world, you don’t have to seek its end, but rather the place where it begins.”

Look forward to a summery evening full of charm, wit, and surprising insights.

Alma and Isabell are no one's daughters. Alma grows up in the 1980s in the Eifel, but the clever and curious girl feels out of place in her family, which runs a bakery there. For there is silence about her origins. Many years later, Isabell also painfully misses her mother. This void in her past influences her present, her feelings and thoughts, and her own family life. Amid Polaroids, lies, and lost dreams, a family secret unfolds that connects the two women across generations and only comes to light decades later. A novel about what we lose, what remains – and the strength to seek one's own happiness.

Lesung Anja Jonuleit: "Wo der Wind die Namen trägt" - ein aufrüttelnder Roman

“She had decided not to think about the past anymore: the places, the people in her homeland, and certainly not about what had happened back in that summer of 1946, when she was eight years old and everything began.”

2023. The 85-year-old Inge Sundermann reluctantly follows an invitation to a class reunion in the Lüneburg Heath. She associates a terrible guilt with the place of her childhood, which she once burdened herself with in her childhood and buried deep within. But the past now catches up with Inge in the form of the diary entries of Helga von Borcke, a woman who began chronicling the history of this idyllic landscape in the shadow of Bergen-Belsen back in 1946.

1946. Eight-year-old Inge discovers the corpse of a young woman on her way to violin lessons in the woods. A tragic process of lies, cover-ups, and inhumane crimes begins to unfold, one that will haunt Inge with full force many decades later.

The idyllic Lüneburg Heath becomes the scene of war crimes, whose perpetrators continue to live undetected within their families for decades. The new novel by Anja Jonuleit, set to be published on March 25, 2026, tells on two timelines of the dreadful events in the Lüneburg Heath and their cover-up, of old Nazi connections — and of two women (in 1946 and 2023) who are not willing to let the past lie.

An inspiring, deeply affecting novel, nourished by reality.
Anja Jonuleit, born in Bonn and raised on Lake Constance, worked for several years at the German Embassy in Rome and Damascus. She then studied Italian and English in Munich, worked as a translator and court interpreter, and began to write. Since 2007, her novels have regularly appeared on the SPIEGEL bestseller list.

She is known for her thorough research: she travels to the locations of her novels, speaks with witnesses and those affected, and incorporates their voices into her stories. Her books deal with extremism, radical ideologies, and family secrets; she tells stories of mothers, children, and loss — a theme from her family history.

Drinks will be served before the event, no break.
