The cultural association Isar-Loisach and the historical association have made common cause on the occasion of the International Women's Day. On display are pictures of the Egyptian Doaa El-Adl.
Gelting - "We would never have expected so many visitors," confessed Assunta Tammelleo. The chairwoman of the cultural association Isar-Loisach (KIL), who organized an event for World Women's Day for the fifth time together with the Wolfratshausen Historical Association, opened the almost four-hour evening in the sold-out Kulturbühne Ambush with an exhibition by the Egyptian cartoonist Doaa El-Adl.
"The World of Women" was created in the "School of Disobedience" by the famous Linz artist Gerhard Haderer. Tammelleo transported the sometimes disturbing drawings of sexual abuse and domestic violence by hand from Linz to Gelting in her car. Christoph Haderer, son of Gerhard Haderer and director of the "School of Disobedience", and his wife Julia also found their way from Upper Austria to the cultural stage. "Doaa El-Adl is a hero of disobedience to us," said Haderer. The cartoonist runs the high risk of being arrested by a repressive government. "But violence against women is not only in Egypt, that's a global problem," emphasized the Linz native. After this touching start of the program, the mixed male-female saxophone quartet "Saxema" with evergreens from the 1920s and 1930s loosened the mood in the sold-out ambush.
Four patrons on the stage
The Chairman of the Historical Association, Dr. Sybille Krafft, it was then reserved to invite four patrons of the event onto the stage. As part of a speed dating, the two Mayor candidates from Ickingen betrayed Dr. Beatrice Wagner and Cornelia Zechmeister as well as the Geretsried applicant Martina Raschke and the Eurasian candidate Carola Belloni, which comes to mind when it comes to equality. Raschke quoted the Catholic women's rights activist Helene Weber with her statement, "the pure male state is the ruin of the peoples". Zechmeister chose a similarly combative saying, which reproduced two sentences by the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: “If you want to have something to say in politics, turn to a man. If you want something done, contact a woman ”. The Ickinger Wagner and the Eurasburger Carola Belloni campaigned to break strict boundaries. “At some point, we will no longer need a World Women's Day because we are all equal,” Belloni hopes.

Before the performance of the post-war drama “Three Sisters Made in Germany” staged by director Oliver Storz, his widow Jutta had the floor. In an interview with Hannelore Greiner, she spoke about her time as a secretary with the American military administration in Schwäbisch Hall. “Back then there was hardly any food, no theater, just a little cinema,” said Storz. The 2005 film after that brought back all these memories.
