Eisblumen und Seerosen

Munich author Irmgard Teich takes you on a little journey through time, with a book about Burghausen from her very own perspective:

In episodes, the author tells of the time in the 1950s and early 1960s, when "winters were still winter", with ice skating and tobogganing from December to February, and summers not too hot, with reliable bathing pleasures all vacation long and longer.

The special location of the town with the lake along the hill of the castle and its enchanted landscape all around, the ancient houses with the small stores and craft workshops, and the river with the bridges to Austria contributed to the experience of a unique childhood.

The reading accompanies the exhibition of the same name by Laimer artist Julia Teich, who has captured scenes from her mother's book in impressive, colorful watercolors.

About the author:

Irmgard Teich was born in 1950 in the ducal town of Burghausen an der Salzach: in an old, now listed house at the foot of the "world's longest castle". After many years as an English and Latin teacher, she retired and began to write down the many memories of her childhood in a special time, in a special place.
