A Poetic Encounter in Sacrow: Hans-Jürgen Gaudeck Reads Eichendorff
At Schloss Sacrow, a literary experience unfolds on September 20, 2026, at 4:00 PM, bringing together nature poetry, watercolor art, and romance in a special setting. The event is based on Joseph von Eichendorff's volume When the Trees Rustle Lovingly, which Hans-Jürgen Gaudeck has accompanied with his own watercolors; the book serves as a painterly declaration of love for the poetry of words.

Between Word and Image: An Evening for Romance Readers
Eichendorff's poetry is one of the defining voices of German Romanticism. His depictions of nature, his longing for vastness, and his fine sense of melancholy gain new contours in the encounter with Gaudeck's visual language. The Berlin watercolorist and author, born in 1941, has been active as an artist since the 1980s and is present with numerous solo exhibitions.

The Venue: Schloss Sacrow as an Atmospheric Stage
Schloss Sacrow in Potsdam-Sacrow carries its historical surroundings with a quiet dignity that adds depth to a literary reading. Ars Sacrow describes the location as part of the UNESCO World Heritage site and as a space for readings and meeting formats. The Heilandskirche is only accessible on foot through the Sacrow Castle Park; this creates a quiet arrival for visitors that already enriches the evening before the first sentence.
