Reading of the historical Lake Constance novel “Flüsterzeit” – Petra Palumbo

“Flüsterzeit – zwischen Herkunft und Sehnsucht” tells the moving story of the Manogg family over several generations. Rooted in the picturesque landscape between Lake Constance, Hegau and the Swabian Alb, the descendants wrestle with the shadows of the past and the challenges of an uncertain future. From the turmoil of the German Empire to the collapse of the Weimar Republic, personal destinies are interwoven with the great upheavals of the time. Between the southern German provinces and pulsating metropolises, the life of a family unfolds as they set out without denying their origins. A captivating novel about home, departure, loss and new beginnings and an impressive testimony to the times.

“Flüsterzeit – zwischen Herkunft und Sehnsucht” is the first historical novel by Petra Palumbo, who was previously known as a crime writer under the name Luzi van Gisteren. Petra Palumbo was born in 1973 in Singen am Hohentwiel and studied business administration before working for an international corporation in Munich for more than twenty years. She now lives with her family in Radolfzell on Lake Constance, where her father’s roots lie. Writing has been her passion since early childhood: the author wrote her first book at the age of 13. She has been teaching creative writing to young people and adults for many years, including at adult education centers and as part of literary education projects. She works professionally in marketing.

Admission is free.

(W)Places write history – connecting stories: writing and reading for everyone

For over three years, eight women who couldn’t be more different have been writing together regularly: the “Miteinander schreiben” group. The women meet twice a month at the TeggIn meeting point at Teggingerstraße 10 to get creative together. For their readings as part of the town’s anniversary celebrations, the writing group went in search of personalities who are important to Radolfzell. Her texts show how many ways you can approach Radolfzell and the people who live and lived here through literature.

The eight women will present the results of their work at three readings, each with new texts: Friday, June 12, 2 – 2:45 p.m. in Böhringen at Sägemühle 1 (outdoors) and Saturday, Oct. 17, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. in the city library, Marktplatz 8. The reading in the multi-generation house will be accompanied by Christiane Hermann and Christina Bretzke on the accordion.

The project is a civic project sponsored by the city to mark the city’s anniversary. Thanks to the funding, the “Miteinander schreiben” group was able to hold various workshops under professional guidance: a theater pedagogy training course to train voice, expression and stage presence as well as workshops under the guidance of an experienced writing coach. The aim of the group is to experience the joy of writing together, to promote intergenerational dialog and to appeal to people of all ages and from different cultural backgrounds and to inspire them to write. Anyone interested is cordially invited to come to the group meetings. Info: Mehrgenerationenhaus der Diakonie, Tel. 7732 952786.

Object karaoke – The thing from the depot

Object karaoke with exhibits from the Radolfzell City Museum.
Moderation: Johannes Elster

In the museum, we marvel at exhibits that bear witness to times long past, foreign cultures, artistic genius or simply good curation. We are normally denied a look behind the scenes, into the storerooms and into the depot of the Radolfzell City Museum. At Object Karaoke, improv artists present objects from the Radolfzell City Museum that they are seeing on stage for the first time. They are given a new object every 90 seconds for six minutes and have to present it to the audience as originally as possible. After each presentation, the museum explains the real history of the object to the audience.

It is up to the audience to decide by the volume of applause who makes it to the final and wins the first object karaoke in Radolfzell.

Admission: 6€ Reduced: 3€

1st Radolfzell Film Festival

As part of the city’s anniversary celebrations and in collaboration with filmmakers Teresa Renn and Patrick Merkle, as well as Ana Baumgart and Daniel Franz from KFZ – Kunst für Zukunft, the 1st Film Festival is taking place in Radolfzell.

For three days, it’s all about big emotions and gripping stories on the big screen. To make this happen, the KFZ – Kunst für Zukunft (Friedrich-Werber-Str. 13+15 in Radolfzell) will be transformed into an unconventional movie theater.
Under the theme “F_YOU_TURE,” a total of eight feature films and documentaries will be screened. The films focus on the stories of children, teenagers, and young adults—with all their diverse life experiences, thoughts, and visions for the future. The organizer’s goal is to provide young people with a platform for creative expression.

The film screenings will be accompanied by Q&As with filmmakers, who will introduce their films in person. Panel discussions, readings, and a film workshop for young people round out the festival’s diverse program.

Heart for children

It’s all about taking part – every child who successfully completes at least 8 stations receives a certificate, a small prize and qualifies for the prize draw, where they can win other great prizes.
