Lesung | Buchvorstellung "Die Bille - Hamburgs unbekannte Schöne"
In the organizer's words:
As early as the 17th century, wealthy Hamburg residents were drawn away from the oppressive confines of the city to the expanses of the marshlands. Stately country houses were built on the banks of the Bille, where they spent their summer retreats.
On the lower reaches of the Bille, in Billbrook and Rothenburgsort, the first factories and power stations were built, supplying the electricity needed for Hamburg's rise to a metropolis. And in Bergedorf today, scientists are researching new, environmentally friendly energy sources.
The Bille therefore offers exciting stories from yesterday and today. And it always invites you to visit, with forests and marshland, country houses, villas and a castle on the upper reaches, industrial romance and cultural centers on the lower reaches. You can hike along it, admire animals and plants, follow in the footsteps of Prince Otto von Bismarck and the Hamburg shipowner Albert Ballin. Michael Seufert and Michael Zapf have captured this diversity in text and images and compiled it in the illustrated book "Die Bille - Hamburgs unbekannte Schöne" (Ellert & Richter Verlag, 2022).
In the Fabrik der Künste, which is also located on the Bille, author Michael Seufert and photographer Michael Zapf will present the illustrated book with a reading and photo accompaniment.
