Between superstition and new beginnings: Sandra Altmann reads in Traunstein

A literary experience with author encounter: On February 12, 2026, Sandra Altmann brings the reading atmosphere of the Upper Bavarian mountain world to the Kulturforum Klosterkirche Traunstein. The teacher and writer will read from her historical novels Talsommer and Triebwasser and invites you to an evening that makes language, voice, and regional history sensibly tangible.

Storytelling with regional depth

Altmann's style combines precise linguistic artistry with strong imagery. Talsommer (2023, Volk Verlag) unfolds a village panorama around 1899, where myths, morals, and social pressures meet. Triebwasser (2024, Volk Verlag) paints a gripping contemporary picture around the construction of the Walchensee power plant in 1918. In both works, the literary quality convinces through dense narratives, clear character development, and fine nuances.

Voice, space, resonance

In the intimate acoustics of the Klosterkirche, Altmann's voice gains presence: gentle, supportive, with a clear rhythm. The reading leads from village life to modernity, from faith to the belief in progress. Thus, a literary experience is created that makes stories audible and lets thoughts resonate.

Cultural context and classification

Altmann positions the Chiemgau Alps as a stage for questions of responsibility, community, and change. Her novels stand in the tradition of the historical novel and simultaneously open the view to the history of technology, nature experiences, and social upheavals of the early modern period.

Service for the evening

Start at 8 PM, admission from 7 PM. Advance sale and box office as per the organizer's indication. The Kulturforum is wheelchair accessible; reserved seating for wheelchair users is available. The Kulturforum provides information on parking options, ticket offices, and house rules.

Conclusion: Those who appreciate linguistic craftsmanship, historical tension, and a strong literary voice will experience a concentrated evening of contemporary literature from Upper Bavaria here – close to the characters, close to the landscape, close to the ear.
