Anna Seghers im Kreis ihrer Freundinnen | Führung

In the organizer's words:

Anna Seghers, who often appeared rather shy and cautious, found support from her friends, whom she trusted unreservedly, with whom she exchanged ideas and laughed freely. The writer remained close to the actresses Steffie Spira and Helene Weigel, the author Berta Waterstradt and the politician Lore Wolf until the end of her life.

After many years in exile, the writer Anna Seghers found a new home in Berlin-Adlershof. Her apartment in what is now Anna-Seghers-Straße, where she lived from 1955 until her death in 1983, has been faithfully preserved and can be visited by appointment. In addition to the furnishings and personal memorabilia, which bear witness to an international life, Anna Seghers' library is particularly impressive. Around 10,000 volumes, including books by writer friends from many countries, are spread across the four rooms and the hallway.
