Laughter and contemplation filled the air at the Niefern Cultural Station's literary event
In the quaint town of Niefern-Öschelbronn, Germany, the cultural:BAHNHOF Niefern-Öschelbronn bathed in the last golden rays of the setting sun, preparing to host an enchanting literary event. The evening titled "Of Dwarves, Fairies, and Other People" was a cultural and literary gathering that promised to captivate its audience with captivating storytelling and readings centered around fantastical beings.
The pleasant, not too large lecture hall was almost full, indicating a high level of interest in the event. The evening began with the soothing strains of guitar music and singing, more pop than classical, performed by the duo Harald Zeidler and Chris Bayer.
Claudia Konrad, the event's host, introduced the four performers of the evening. Two local authors, Fred Keller and Volker Schopf, would be presenting samples of their works. Schopf, an acclaimed author, offered excerpts from his book "Other Times - Other People", delving into the inner views of a person confronted with extreme situations.
Keller, on the other hand, presented a Thirteen, an elf who wanted to train two talented women to be witches, from his short story collection "Cynthia Silbersporn". The contrast between Schopf's melancholic, almost fatalistic views and Keller's profound, linguistically sovereign carefree attitude was unusual and intriguing.
The second story by Fred Keller was taken from his short story collection "Konrad von Birkenfelde", about events in the waiting room of death. The event took place on a Sunday evening in October, with the sun shining golden before it got dark during the event.
Throughout the evening, songs were performed as separators between the readings, adding to the magical atmosphere. The event surprised the audience, making them think and smile alternately - sometimes simultaneously. Despite some minor distractions, everything was remarkable and definitely worth hearing.
These types of readings are common in German cultural programming, reflecting the country's rich tradition of fairy tales and legends, famously captured by the Brothers Grimm and other folklorists.
