City library: 500 years of the Reformation
Reading and media tips for the anniversary of the Reformation
On 9 February at 6 pm, Egon Börner will read from his new historical novel "Im Visier der Grafen von Mansfeld" at the TIETZ City Library. In it, the Chemnitz author describes a love story at the time of the Reformation in the Mansfeld region.
In the early summer of 1518, two young people profess their love for each other regardless of their class. Will this love be able to survive in a world of superstition, natural disasters, terrible diseases and bloody wars?
An event organised in cooperation with the Evangelisches Forum Chemnitz.
Admission costs 3 euros.
