Martin Meyer | Die Orgelbauerin

In the organizer's words:

In a reading with organ music, Franconian author Martin Meyer presents his latest novel"Die Orgelbauerin".

In it, the author tells us the story of a courageous woman who, herself the daughter of an organ builder, attempts to break into what was then still a completely male-dominated organ building trade around 100 years ago. At the same time, the novel is a gripping family saga and tells the story of organ building and organ music against the backdrop of the highs and lows of the Weimar Republic. The history of the Weimar Bauhaus with its parallels to the ideals of the "organ movement" is also a theme of the book.

Martin Meyer, born 1967, formerly a criminal judge, now writes novels, short stories and poetry. He also plays the organ and trombone. His focus is always on the triad of meaning, text and word. Today, he passes on his legal expertise as a lecturer for "Criminal Law for Authors".

Cantor Christian Roß will accompany the reading with organ music that matches the plot of the novel.
