Eva Rockenmaier reads at the Local Museum Weibersbrunn

On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the Local Museum Weibersbrunn will become a literary space of remembrance: Eva Rockenmaier will read from her book Into the Woods. The focus is on childhood and youth in the princely forest houses Aurora and Karlshöhe – a personal life story from the Spessart, shaped by proximity to the forest, simple everyday conditions, and the distance to the nearest village.

Childhood between Forest and Forest House

Rockenmaier's memory literature leads into a world far from electric light and modern certainties. Her narrative perspective combines autobiographical storytelling with regional cultural history and makes it tangible how landscape, work, and family life shape a biography.

Literature Meets Local History

The reading unfolds its special effect in the Local Museum Weibersbrunn. Amidst historical exhibits and testimonies of rural life, an intimate reading atmosphere is created, where voice, language, and place engage in dialogue. The literary experience simultaneously opens a direct access to the history of the Spessart.

A Meeting with the Author of Regional Depth

Into the Woods is personal memory literature with a cultural historical perspective. The linguistic artistry of the book preserves experiences of a past childhood and anchors them in a specific experiential space: the forest houses Aurora and Karlshöhe. For literature lovers, local researchers, and anyone interested in biographical storytelling, the reading provides a concentrated encounter with regional identity and literary quality.

Conclusion: The Spessart Becomes Audible

Visitors can expect an atmospheric afternoon between reading, memory, and local history. Those who want to experience the Spessart not just as a landscape but as a formative living world will find a compelling access in this meeting with the author. Admission is free; donations are welcome.
