Rheinsberg (dpa / bb) - The author and musician Manja Präkels becomes the 53rd town clerk of Rheinsberg.
From February 1 to June 30, she will move into the town clerk's apartment in the stables of the palace complex, the Kurt Tucholsky Literature Museum announced on Friday evening.
Präkels, born 1974 in Zehdenick / Mark, studied philosophy, sociology and Eastern European history.
In the 1990s she worked as a journalist for the “Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung”, was a puppeteer for a traveling theater and in 2001 founded the Erich Mühsam Festival and the band Der Singende Tresen.
In 2004 her first volume of poetry, «Tresenlieder», was published, and in 2005 the Singing Bar's first official CD.
Her novel debut was published at the end of July 2017: "When I ate Schnapskirschen with Hitler".
Theodor Fontane and Kurt Tucholsky developed the Prussian residence city of Rheinsberg in their literature.
The town clerks have continued this tradition since 1995.
The Kurt Tucholsky Museum awards the town clerk grant to two authors every year.
The museum's own edition “Rheinsberger Bogen” presents the texts of the town clerks in first publications.
