A poetic-musical walk over the Michaelsberg

With Saint Michael, stand by us! a literary experience is being created in Bamberg, connecting city history, the art of language, and sound into an atmospheric tour. In front of the gate of St. Michael, an author encounter begins with poems and stories about archangels, monks, the Baroque, and the poetic topography of the UNESCO World Heritage city.

When poetry climbs the mountain

The walk takes place in a place where architecture and memory intertwine closely. Texts by Gryphius, Goethe, and Karl Valentin unfold not as mere recitation but as a carefully crafted reading in the open air. This connection between historical backdrop and literary quality gives the evening its special tension.

Baroque resonances and vibrant language art

Simon Resatsch accompanies the texts with baroque recorder sounds, setting a musical counterpoint that deepens the poetic tone. The reading atmosphere thrives on closeness, rhythm, and the interplay between spoken word and timbre. Thus, a small Gesamtkunstwerk emerges, impressing more with intensity than with size.

Bamberg as a stage for literature

The Michaelsberg is more than a place of memory: on this afternoon it becomes an open stage for cultural discourse, historical imagination, and sensual perception. Those who appreciate literary events with urban space, music, and intellectual precision will experience here a form of literary walk that begins quietly and resonates for a long time.

Conclusion: Saint Michael, stand by us! promises an artful, contemplative, and lively afternoon above the rooftops of Bamberg. Anyone who loves poetic city tours, musical readings, and unusual cultural moments should experience this event live.
