Markus Thielemann: Von Norden rollt ein Donner

In the organizer's words:

Every day, 19-year-old Jannes and his family drive their sheep across the Lüneburg Heath. But there is a fermenting unrest in the area, the wolf is back. Sheep kills are increasing and with them conflicts in the village, which quickly become political.

Can homeland security justify violence? As the situation escalates and threatens to escalate into vigilante justice, Jannes flees to his sheep. Until he repeatedly encounters a strange woman there. He begins to follow her and gradually uncovers the secrets of this supposedly desirable landscape, coming across brutality, ethnic ideology - and a profound silence. Markus Thielemann 's gripping anti-homeland novel delves deep into the abysses of an "original German" idyll.

The book "Von Norden rollt ein Donner" was shortlisted for the German Book Prize 2024.

The event series "Language & Images of the Right", initiated by the Kulturhaus Süderelbe in cooperation with the Hamburg State Center for Political Education, is dedicated to the critical examination of the New Right.
