Book presentation in the museum: Discover the moving life of Erwin Koerfgen!

Alt-Hermsdorf 35, 13467 Berlin, Deutschland - On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, the Reinickendorf Museum will be the setting for a fascinating event! At 6 p.m. the book presentation "The authorized representative of Wedding" will take place with a gripping reading and an informative conversation. This revolves around the moving life of the merchant Erwin Koerfgen, who lived in the charming Berlin district of Hermsdorf from 1923 until his death in 1947. Born in 1892 in the Wedding workers' district, realized Koerfgen as an authorized representative of the cigar factory "Loeser & Wolff" and found his luck in the green, far from the hectic city life.

"Koerfgen was not just an authorized representative, but a person with an extraordinary flair for the life between city and nature," emphasizes district councilor for culture Harald Muschner (CDU). The biographical report by Dr. Rainer Drews throws a light on the remarkable personality of Koerfgen and the dramatic fate of his family in the first half of the 20th century. The event promises to give an impressive insight into Koerfgen's life and time and invites you to rediscover the eventful history of Hermsdorf through a personal story.
