About a munitions worker who became a photographer and disappeared into the belly of the Bavaria.

Based on her novel about the revolutionary Sara Sonja Lerch, Cornelia Naumann ("Der Abend kommt so schnell") researches the women of the BSF (Bund sozialistischer Frauen), who, now almost completely forgotten, were enthusiastic participants in the 1918 revolution and were persecuted, murdered, disenfranchised and marginalized when it was suppressed. The beer cellar coup of 1923 is their acid test: the women recognize the danger from the right and want to prevent it. But then Fritzi disappears ...

Cornelia Naumann presents FRÄULEIN PROLET, accompanied by Michaela Dietl on the accordion: the two artists are a proven team! The evening continues the commemoration of Kurt Eisner's death, which takes place at 11 a.m. at the Hotel Bayrischer Hof.

Cornelia Naumann, born in Marburg, has been dealing with important, unjustly forgotten women for many years. Her plays about the traveling comedienne Karoline Schulze-Kummerfeld and the German-Jewish poet Gertrud Kolmar were followed by biographical novels about Wilhelmine von Bayreuth, Anna Dorothea Therbusch and Isabeau de Bavière and her philosopher Christine de Pizan.

She published "Steckbriefe" with Günther Gerstenberg in edition av and "Ich hoffe noch, dass aller Menschen Glück nahe sein muss", documents of the revolutionary life of Sarah Sonja Lerch, née Rabinowitz, also the subject of her novel "Der Abend kommt so schnell" (Meßkirch 2018). In her new novel "Fräulein Prolet", Naumann investigates the few traces left behind by the women of the BSF during the revolution and the early 1920s.

Cornelia Naumann is an author and dramaturge. She lives and works in Munich and on Nordstrand.

The event will take place in the luggage hall.
