LESEArt with Dr. Christian Demandt: “From heaven to the deepest clefts – Christmas with Theodor Storm”
Description
Christmas holds a special place in Theodor Storm's life and writing. As much as he, as a free spirit, polemicizes against everything church and Christian, Storm also devotes himself to the pious magic of Christmas every year. This is evidenced not only by the Storm family's traditional festive rituals, but also by the stories and poems that deal with Christmas: from the romantic "Christmas Carol" to the famous Christmas chapter of the early successful novella "Immensee" to the role poem "Knecht Ruprecht". most famous Christmas poem in German.
Dr. , Christian Demandt presents Theodor Storm's Christmas texts and examines the question of how they can be understood in their exciting contrast to Storm's criticism of religion. – Dr. Christian Demandt has headed the Theodor Storm Center in Husum since 2011.
