Fontane in Potsdam: A Journey to Scotland as a Scenic-Musical Literary Experience
On October 11, 2026, a literary stage opens for Theodor Fontane at Kunsthaus sans titre. The scenic-musical reading from Beyond the Tweed leads into the travel prose where Fontane examines Scotland with a keen eye, stylistic precision, and a fine historical sense. The evening combines literature, voice, and music for a concentrated author encounter in the heart of Potsdam.

Scotland Seen Through the Eyes of the Great Realist
Fontane is among the most influential narrators of the 19th century. His travel impressions from Scotland, first published in 1860, reveal the author not just as a chronicler but as a master of observation: landscape, history, and culture enter into a dialogue that continues to resonate today. It is precisely from this that the evening derives its excitement. ([fontane-gesellschaft.de](https://fontane-gesellschaft.de/werk-nach-1878/?utm_source=openai))
Words, Sounds, and an Intimate Reading Atmosphere
The event is announced as a scenic-musical reading. With Jacqueline Bleinagel, Barbara Schaffernicht, and Christian Deichstetter on the E-Piano, a reading atmosphere is created that does not illustrate Fontane's text but intensifies it. The result is a literary experience between recitation, sound space, and poetic discovery. ([sans-titre.de](https://www.sans-titre.de/events-1/nach-schottland-also-theodor-fontane))
A Place for Literature and Cultural Exchange
Kunsthaus sans titre at Französische Str. 18 is among the addresses in Potsdam for readings, concerts, and discussion rounds. The venue is known as an open cultural house; the connection via Tram 91 and 92 to the Platz der Einheit stop facilitates access. For visitors, this creates a harmonious setting for an evening that combines education and encounter. ([sans-titre.de](https://www.sans-titre.de/kontakt))
