Poetische Feinkost – Lesung & Verkostung im Heimathaven

In the organizer's words:

Poetic delicacies - reading & tasting at Heimathaven

An evening of literary delights with Benedikt Vermeer

Poetic delicacies is a literary evening for all those who not only want to hear texts, but also experience them - entertaining, accessible and accompanied by a small, fine tasting.

Together with the actor and speaker Benedikt Vermeer, an intimate literary salon will be created at Heimathaven:
Selected texts will be read, performed and commented on, accompanied by a curated tasting in 6 small courses - 3 drinks and 3 fine tasting snacks from the Heimathaven range, thematically matched to the respective evening.

What you can expect:

• an entertaining literary evening, even without prior knowledge

• Humor, zeitgeist and clever observations

• an accompanying tasting that rounds off the evening - not overrides it

• not a lecture, not school material - but listening, smiling, rediscovering

🕰 Duration: approx. 60-75 minutes
👥 S mall setting, very limited places
📚 The evenings can be attended individually

The evenings at a glance:

😄 March 12 - Eugen Roth

Subtle humor about the small weaknesses of human beings

Eugen Roth takes a loving look at people.
His short texts are easily accessible, accurate and often surprisingly profound.

The themes are:

• everyday observations

• human idiosyncrasies

• Humor without malice, but with a fine bite

An evening that begins lightly and lingers for a long time.
The tasting is correspondingly playful, finely tuned and unobtrusive.

🧒 April 16 - Erich Kästner

"When I was a little boy" - memories, childhood, attitude

Erich Kästner's autobiographical view of his childhood is warm-hearted, clever and surprisingly clear.
This evening is dedicated to his memories, observations and the question of how much childhood shapes our later thinking.

Literary focus:

• Texts from When I was a little boy

• Childhood between curiosity, seriousness and humor

• Attitude, humanity and gentle irony

A quiet, attentive evening that awakens personal memories - without becoming sentimental.
The tasting is appropriately refined, restrained and designed for atmosphere.

🌀 May 21 - Joachim Ringelnatz

Wordplay, love of language and surprising depth

Joachim Ringelnatz combines playful lightness with subtle humor and quiet existential overtones. His texts move between nonsense and seriousness, between everyday life and absurdity.

Presented as a literary performance, the texts unfold rhythm, punchlines and the joy of language. A lively evening that entertains, surprises and leaves room for nuances.
The accompanying tasting is playful, rich in contrast and atmospherically coordinated with the evening.

🎩 June 4 - Wilhelm Busch

Linguistic wit, morals and human weaknesses

Wilhelm Busch is much more than the author of well-known picture stories. His texts combine humor with keen observation and surprising depth. Between irony, morality and wordplay, a multi-layered picture of human idiosyncrasies emerges.

Presented as a literary performance, the texts unfold their punchlines and rhythm beyond classic reading formats.
The accompanying tasting is finely tuned, slightly contrasting and atmospherically aligned to the evening.
