Story Café in Traunstein: 95 Years of St. Michael Teacher Training College – Memories Become Voices

An evening for history enthusiasts and literature lovers: In the story café on the St. Michael campus, eyewitness accounts meet vibrant storytelling. In the bar of the newly constructed boarding house, an atmosphere of reading develops, allowing closeness, elevating voices, and transforming collective memory into a literary experience.

History in Conversation: Narratives from Nine Decades

Eyewitnesses trace the 95-year development of the teacher training college: from the traditional boys' boarding school to today's educational and meeting place. Biographical miniatures, precise recollections, and pointed anecdotes shape an oral literature that encapsulates the origins, changes, and future mission of the institution.

Voice, Tone, Presence: The Art of Oral Storytelling

When language carries and pauses speak, style emerges. Guests experience the art of language in real-time: sonorous voices, clear syntax, carefully placed punchlines. This creates an intimate atmosphere where personal stories become cultural-historical markers.

Place with Aura: Bar in the New Boarding House

The evening takes place in the bar of the sustainable new building. Warm materials, short distances, and views into the campus landscape support the conversational climate. The setting invites listening, asking questions, and sharing thoughts on educational paths, values, and communal spirit.

Context of the Literary Scene: Oral History as a Genre

The story café stands in the tradition of oral history readings. Instead of printed pages, storytellers present their memories. Genre and style combine documentary accuracy with literary quality. Narratives arise that possess both source value and aesthetic density.

Voices of the Readers

On Instagram, a reader raves: Can't wait to hear the stories of this house live. On Facebook, a visitor writes: Oral history, precisely told – a piece of Traunstein culture that can be felt.

Conclusion: Three dense hours with eyewitness accounts, dialogue, and a literary conversation culture are anticipated. Those who wish to experience the history of the teacher training college with ears and heart should attend this reading live.
