Premiere reading with Gretel Mayer: Crime novel meets Munich contemporary history
When literature brings a city to life, it happens with particular intensity on this evening in Hösbach. Gretel Mayer presents her new crime novel Munich 72 – Death in the Shadow of the Olympics for the first time in front of an audience, thus opening a literary window into the autumn of 1972, a time when Munich still stood under the shadow of the Olympic attack.
A crime case with historical tension
At the center is a murder of a teacher at the esteemed Mathildengymnasium. Chief Inspector Korbinian Hilpert and his colleague Ludwig Waldleitner investigate in a school environment full of power games, old grievances, and hidden conflicts. The premiere reading thus promises not just a simple reading session but a dense literary experience between contemporary history, social study, and classical crime plot.

Why this evening is special for crime enthusiasts

For readers of literarily demanding suspense, this is an evening of high allure.
