Crime, Industrial Culture, and Coffee Aroma at the Historic Ringgleis
With Tatorte am Ringgleis | Die Kaffeebohnendiebin | Vom Kaffeerösten zum puren Genuss, a cultural-historical resonance space opens in Braunschweig, connecting literature, industrial culture, and sensual contemplation of work. The reading leads to an original location of Braunschweig's industrial history and combines a fictional crime plot with the vivid memory of the Ringgleis and the coffee manufactory Heimbs. The project is part of the reading series that continues in 2026 at real sites of industrial culture along the Ringgleis.

Between Factory History and Literary Tension
The Ringgleis is regarded in Braunschweig as an open-air museum of industrial history; the path is gradually being developed into a foot and bike path, making historical sites experientially accessible. This is where the series Tatorte am Ringgleis comes into play: It tells of real locations, of epochs changing, of work, technology, and everyday culture. In the episode about the Coffee Bean Thief, Heimbs takes center stage, a traditional coffee manufactory rooted in Braunschweig that still closely controls the roasting process today.

The Aroma of Roasting as an Exhibition and Listening Experience
The venue Heimbs at Rebenring 30 lends a special atmosphere to the event: Here, the narrative meets the authentic production site, where coffee enjoyment is not only told but culturally grounded. The focus on Braunschweig's industrial and enjoyment history deepens the aesthetic experience. Those interested in cultural mediation, city history, and literary formats will experience an event with a clear signature of the Forum Industriekultur e. V. and the Crime Workshop Braunschweig.

Education, Place, and Mediation
The series links reading and contextual education. According to the project description, the events often complement tours or lectures on the history and backgrounds of the respective location. This creates a cultural-educational added value that goes beyond the mere reading: Visitors gain access to industrial culture, urban development, and regional memory culture.
