Hebelwirkung

Comedies, scandals, satires by the pastor Johann Peter Hebel (1760-1826). Literary treasures from a unique storyteller at Wortkino Stuttgart.

Scenes: Heaven, earth, country road, Amsterdam, mine, Neisse, Segringen, barber's parlor, Spain, Switzerland, sailing ship, pigsty, Mannheim, farmhouse parlor.
Old and young, sick and stupid, clever and liars, victims and criminals, locals and foreigners populate Hebel's cosmos - satirically, comically, passionately.

With a language hovering between dialect and High German, Hebel entertains his audience, who easily find themselves in his satirical and humorous observations.
