Werner Meier grew up on a farm in Reichertsheim with six brothers and a sister. He read from his first book “7 Küah, 8 Kinder, 40 dumplings and 1 canape” in the pub at the Gasthaus zum Schex on Saturday evening.

The listeners learned funny, bizarre and touching stories from Meier's childhood on the "Neimoar farm" Meier's "first real friend" came from St. Wolfgang. More readings from Meier will be held on Tuesday, March 5th, at LeseGlücking bookstore in Erding.
