About event

A recurring theme in Anna Seghers' work is the self-liberation of her literary characters. How much does this liberation have biographical features? An approach to the change from sheltered daughter to idiosyncratic writer.

The writer Anna Seghers found a new home in Berlin-Adlershof after many years in exile. Her apartment on today's Anna-Seghers-Straße, where she lived from 1955 until her death in 1983, has been preserved true to the original and can be viewed after registration. In addition to the furnishings and personal memorabilia that bear witness to an international life, Anna Seghers' library is particularly impressive. Around 10,000 volumes, including books by writer friends from many countries, are spread across the four rooms and the hallway.
