Knight Roland and the robbers – reading and painting activity

Knight Roland and the robbers - a book of Brandenburg legends and a few surprises

To the 550th anniversary of the current Roland statue in Brandenburg in 2024, author Heiko Hesse and media designer Elli Swonken are re-staging three legends about Roland and the robber chief Habakuk Schmauch. Re-staging means that it is finally time to see the traditional stories as they could really have been. Elli Swonken and Heiko Hesse present the book and the idea behind it on Rietzer Berg.

Elli Swonken gives insights into her work, showing, for example, how to paint with coffee, while Heiko Hesse chats about the creation of these stories and the true origin of the legends. And why Habakuk Schmauch and Ritter Roland really do have a lot in common. Mrs. Harke and her daughter, who according to legend are at home on Rietzer Berg, will also have fun.

For people aged 9 and over. Free admission.
