A great literary decathlon enters its final round: with Rath, Volker Kutscher completes his Gereon Rath decalogue, which began in Berlin in 1929 and became world-famous thanks to its film adaptation as Babylon Berlin. Gereon Rath is back in Germany to assist Charlotte "Charly" Ritter. In the new and final book, Rath has to experience the escalation of a development that he had long denied: the Reichspogromnacht. Life in Germany is no longer possible, resistance is necessary. But how? And where does the future lie? Volker Kutscher talks to NDR presenter Katja Weise about the development and farewell to his hero and about crime novels as a history lesson. Fritzi Haberland plays "Elisabeth Benke" in the TV series - and reads selected passages from a "grandiose portrait of the times that goes far beyond a crime novel" (Deutschlandfunk Kultur).
The event takes place in the Audimax in the Welfenschloss!
