New events, new conditions and, with District Administrator Stefan Frey, a new patron: This weekend, Elisabeth Carr starts the 19th edition of the "Literary Autumn" full of energy.
District
- "Of course it was a careful consideration whether the events could take place this year," said the organizer during the presentation of the program.
“We made the decision at short notice, but with all our might.” Together with her event partner Dr.
In this special year, Gerd Holzheimer organized six literary events adapted to the circumstances.
From apple growers to Pumuckl to past and contemporary writers, there is a lot on offer.
However, support is required for such a program to take place.
The former district administrator Karl Roth was the patron of the “Literary Autumn” for eleven years, and Stefan Frey is now following him in this task as well.
“Both Mr. Roth and District Administrator Frey are wonderful door openers,” said Carr and thanked for the support, also from cultural advisor Barbara Beck.
“We are there even in times of crisis,” emphasized Carr.
"For this we will go into large, open spaces or into nature." A limited number of participants and spontaneous adjustments to the situation are nevertheless unavoidable.

The program in detail
Apples from the concentration camp:
