Reading: “Radiant Years – Women’s New Beginning, 1926–1933”

This evening, author Regine Ahrem takes us on a fascinating journey through time in the footsteps of famous women writers—an evening dedicated to influential women of their era, which, fittingly, coincides with the birthday of Martha Liebermann (1857–1943).
The focus is on Vicki Baum, Marieluise Fleißer, Mascha Kaléko, Irmgard Keun, Erika Mann, Ruth Landshoff, and Gabriele Tergit. In an engaging collage, Ahrem unfolds the life stories of these authors and recounts their artistic development from 1926 until the “seizure of power” in 1933, which brought their careers to an abrupt end. The writers’ paths are traced chronologically and kaleidoscopically; these paths sometimes intersect and repeatedly cross one another. All seven belong to the “New Women” who took the public stage by storm in the 1920s—they caused theater scandals, became bestselling authors, and were the “it girls” of an entire generation. For Vicki Baum, as well as the others, these would become the most interesting and fruitful years of their lives.
About the Author:
Regine Ahrem, born in Munich, studied literature and theater studies in Munich and Berlin. Until 2022, she worked as a radio drama editor at Rundfunk Berlin Brandenburg, where she produced numerous radio plays and podcast series. Regine Ahrem is also the author of over 30 original radio plays, all of which she directed herself. She has received numerous awards for her work, including the German Audiobook Prize in 2023. Since 2013, Regine Ahrem has been regularly producing live radio plays on various stages in Germany and Austria under the label “Hollywood on Air,” which she founded.
The evening will be moderated by Dr. Evelyn Wöldicke, director of the Liebermann Villa on Lake Wannsee
Café Max will be open for you until the reading begins.Translated with DeepL
