In a few days the Dominican monastery in Prenzlau will be the scene of a very special event. On November 5th, the organizers of the “Prenzlauer Schäferstündchen” celebrate their fifth anniversary.

The anniversary will be moderated by Alexander G. Schäfer, an actor, author and director, whose commitment makes this evening a special experience for all guests. Also expected at the event is the well-known actress Ursula Werner, who is a well-known face in German cinema thanks to her numerous film and theater roles, including works such as “Frau Venus and her Devil” and “Cloud 9”. She will talk about the central themes of the evening, which revolve around life and death, theater time and the differences between East and West. Another focus is on the topic of love in old age.

Expectations for a memorable anniversary

Art and culture in focus

The cultural commitment goes beyond the boundaries of this event. The Max Herrmann Dissertation Prize will be awarded on November 23, 2024 in the lecture hall of the Institute for Theater Studies at the FU Berlin. This event highlights the importance of theater studies and its research projects. Dr. Christina Vollmert-Boldt is being honored for her remarkable dissertation, which deals intensively with the civic festival culture around 1900. Such events create an understanding of the connections between history, national community and technology in theater history.

The award ceremony will be accompanied by a laudatory speech by Dr. Wolfgang Jansen and the prize itself testifies to the high appreciation of academic discussions in the field of theater.
