A reading between Franconia and the American Revolution
Helmut Haberkamm opens a literary window into the history of the Franconian peasant son Johann Kalb, who became Baron de Kalb and a figure of the American War of Independence. The reading blends historical storytelling, research, and linguistic artistry into an evening that impressively combines literary quality with political contemporary history.
A novel that connects local and world history
The Baron in the Blue House tells of a life that begins in Hüttendorf near Erlangen and finds a much larger stage in the American Revolutionary War. Haberkamm offers not just a historical biography, but leads the readers into a narrative that intertwines origins, upheaval, and memory. This tension makes the reading a unique literary experience.
