In the organizer's words:

Franco-German friendship is indispensable today. It goes back to the Élysée Treaty, which Adenauer and de Gaulle signed in 1963. But it was not always as self-evident as it is today. Brigitte Glaser reads from her new book "Kaiserstuhl", which centers around a mysterious champagne bottle that is to be handed over to celebrate the signing of the Élysée Treaty.Henny, the future Freiburg wine merchant, and Alsatian Paul, who becomes a cinema expert for the new French film, meet in the Kaiserstuhl border region shortly after the end of the war. The novel tells the story of the difficult lives of the two in an extremely exciting way and shows how fragile the Franco-German friendship and the hopes for a peaceful Europe are.

Brigitte Glaser, born in Offenburg in 1955, has lived in Cologne for over 30 years. She writes books for young people and adults, including the successful crime series about the chef Katharina Schweitzer. Spiegel bestselling author with the historical novels "Bühlerhöhe" (2016) and "Rheinblick" (2019).
