At the "Lebendige Erinnerung" writing café of the Sudetendeutsches Museum, personal stories and memories take center stage. In a cozy atmosphere, thoughts and experiences are put to paper, inspired by methods from creative writing. Thematic prompts are offered by short tours through the permanent exhibition, which sheds light on different aspects of Sudeten German culture.
Led by Gunda Achterhold, journalist and author, the writing café invites participants to bring formative moments to life – memories of familiar smells and music from childhood, summer holidays in rural surroundings, or a beloved toy. Selected exhibits from the exhibition stimulate the imagination and show connections between personal experiences and cultural heritage.
