A summer evening with Bernd Schirmer: Reading in the garden at Heiligen See
The series Read in the Garden combines literary reading, garden culture, and musical accompaniment into an intimate cultural moment in the open air. On Saturday, June 13, 2026, Bernd Schirmer's love story The Tandem will be featured in Potsdam; read by Uve Teschner, musically accompanied by Gisela Heide Richter on cello. The evening leads into a narrative about a Ménage à trois, about freedom, desire, and the question of how love can exist beyond normative patterns.

Literary atmosphere among hedges, voices, and string sounds
The venue Garden at Heiligen See, Seestraße 29 in Potsdam, creates the perfect setting for an author encounter with a special reading atmosphere. The series invites you to stroll beforehand; private gardens in Potsdam open up for the audience before the reading and music begin. This is not a sober lecture, but a literary experience where language, nature, and resonance intertwine. ([urania-potsdam.de](https://www.urania-potsdam.de/seite/304693/im-garten-vorgelesen.html))
Bernd Schirmer and the art of interpersonal friction
Bernd Schirmer, born in Leipzig in 1940, explores the interpersonal (un)depths with humor, surprises, and wisdom in his texts, according to the event organizers. The Tandem was filmed for ZDF in 1992 and stands for a story that has had cultural impact beyond the book text. For literature lovers, this connection of narrative prose, social tension, and media adaptation is particularly appealing.
