Childhood in the Spessart: Eva Rockenmaier reads at the Local History Museum Weibersbrunn

What does childhood sound like away from electric light, immersed in the forests of the Spessart and shaped by everyday life in princely forester's houses? On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the Local History Museum Weibersbrunn invites you to a special reading with the author Eva Rockenmaier.

Memories of Aurora and Karlshöhe

Eva Rockenmaier reads from her book Waldeinwärts and takes the audience into her memories of childhood and youth in the forester's houses Aurora and Karlshöhe. The focus is on experiences from a life world shaped by proximity to the forest, simple living conditions, and distance to the nearest village.

The reading combines personal memory literature with regional cultural history. Between historical exhibits, everyday objects, and testimonies of former village life, an intimate reading atmosphere is created, where language and place enter into a dialogue. The Local History Museum preserves the history of Weibersbrunn and the Spessart with insights into forest work, craftsmanship, glass production, and rural everyday life.

The narrative perspective connects biographical storytelling with cultural-historical observation, making visible how closely life stories, landscapes, and regional identity are intertwined. For literature enthusiasts, the event offers a concentrated literary experience and a meeting with the art of personal memory.
