Between Mountain Village and World History

Sachrang is more than an idyllic location in Chiemgau. Here, Werner Herzog spent formative years of his childhood and early youth before becoming one of the most internationally significant filmmakers and authors. The hike follows biographical traces that repeatedly emerge in his works: a longing for the vastness, a view for the extreme, a language of rugged beauty.

Reading, Landscape, and Literary Atmosphere

The reading from the memoirs adds special depth to the walk. The places become a narrative space, and the paths turn into a search for narrative traces. The format combines literary communication with an immediate reading atmosphere: outdoors, in motion, engaging with the landscape. Such encounters with the author unfold their power precisely where memory and present intertwine.
