Konrad H. Roenne is literary fellow at Schloss Wiepersdorf from September to November. On Thursday, November 7, he will read from his current novel project ‘Die Geschichte der neunziger Jahre, fast chronolgisch erzählt‘ (‘The history of the nineties, told almost chronologically’ (working title)).

New beginnings, utopia and death: in his new novel project, Berlin author Konrad H. Roenne deals with alternative life plans that found an open space and framework after the fall of the Berlin Wall, particularly in the former GDR. At the centre of the text is the philosopher and GDR dissident Rudolf Bahro, who during the 1990s strove to found a commune in rural East Germany - a utopian community between communism, Original Christianity and German idealism. Bahro's death from cancer in December 1997 put an end to these ambitions.

In his text, Roenne links the experiences in his private life with his own youthful perception of the 1990s as a time of upheaval and untapped opportunities.
