A literary afternoon between family history and contemporary history
Andreas J. Obrecht invites you to a reading in the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena, which connects memory literature, historical research, and personal storytelling. In the Helene-Petrenz Hall, visitors will encounter a biographically influenced reporting on September 19, 2026, which goes far beyond private family history.
Between Viennese Society and European Turning Points
At the center is Annemarie Imhof, a woman whose life path consists of Jewish heritage, conversion, social ascent, and existential threat. Obrecht tells this story not dryly, but with literary sensitivity: from memories, anecdotes, and historical flashbacks emerges a multi-layered portrait that makes the tensions of the 20th century palpable.
Art of language with historical resonance
Obrecht's writing connects sociological accuracy with narrative warmth. This is precisely where the special quality of this reading lies: the book opens a space where private family chronicle, colonial history, and contemporary history intertwine. Anyone who appreciates literary prose with documentary depth will experience an author encounter here marked by intellectual breadth and emotional precision.
The venue: Ernst-Abbe-Library as a cultural space
The Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena is established as a barrier-free accessible literary location and offers the Helene-Petrenz Hall as a fitting framework for quiet concentration and open discussions. Its central location at Engelplatz facilitates access, and admission is free. This makes the reading a low-threshold yet demanding cultural event in the Jena event calendar.
Why visiting is worthwhile
This reading promises not just a mere recitation but a literary experience with depth. Those interested in biographies, memory culture, and carefully constructed prose will find an evening here that resonates. A visit is worthwhile for anyone wishing to experience literature as a vibrant engagement with history.
