Reading about Ludwig Fellner's moving life in captivity

Neustadt an der Weinstraße - A special cultural event announces itself in the wine studio in Königsbach: On Sunday, September 29, 2024, the reading "My life in captivity - from the diary of the painter Ludwig Fellner" will take place. This event not only offers an insight into the eventful past of a soldier, but also stimulates to deal with war and humanity.

insights into captivity

Ludwig Fellner, a passionate painter, got into English captivity during the Second World War at the age of 26. In August 1944 he was held close to the Suez Canal, and his diary urgently documents the hardships and challenges of life in a prisoner of war. These personal records are evidence of the will to survive and reflection in extreme living conditions and give the audience the opportunity to deal with the human aspects of the war.

The meaning of art and narrative

The reading is carried out by Georg Sebastian, an experienced actor, who brings deep emotions and thoughts from the diary pages of Ludwig Fellner to life. Fellner's arts as a painter complement the reading through his sketches and watercolors created in the camp. These visual elements help the audience to make an even clearer idea of the artist's experiences in this difficult time.

an opportunity for community and reflection

The event will not only be literary, but also socially enriching. With a glass of wine and a snack, the participants have the opportunity to talk to each other in a relaxed atmosphere. This offers a space for personal reflections on the topics of freedom, loss and pursuit of hope in the dark.
