His works should be commonplace. Erich Kästner already took this to heart as a boy: "When I'm 30, I want people to know my name. I want to be recognised by 35. Even a bit famous by 40." He succeeded, as his children's books enchanted millions. "Emil and the Detectives", "Pünktchen and Anton", "The Flying Classroom" - educationally valuable literature without raising a moral finger. Kästner knew how to tell stories simply and lovingly. After the war, Kästner wrote songs, radio plays, poems, speeches, essays and literary cabaret.
On this evening, you will experience cheerful and thought-provoking texts, songs and poems by the great Dresdener of the small form. On a multimedia tram ride through Old Dresden, you will stop with Erich Kästner on Prager Straße and in many cafés and squares that shaped the writer in the time "When I was a little boy".
A look into the past that you won't forget tomorrow!
