When Poetry Meets Music: A Lyrical-Musical Evening at the Kreuzkirche Alt-Lehndorf
On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Kreuzkirche Alt-Lehndorf in Braunschweig will open its doors for a lyrical-musical evening that oscillates between lightness and melancholy. The cultural circle of the Kreuzkirche invites you to a literary-musical encounter with Kirsten Döbler, Jürgen Osterloh, and Frank Sauer. The evening begins at 5:00 PM and is announced as a free entry event with a donation hat.

Poetry that Refines Everyday Life
At the center are poems that seek closeness rather than distance: love, nature, travel, transience, and war appear not as abstract terms, but as linguistically condensed experiences. Kirsten Döbler reads from free verse, Jürgen Osterloh connects his texts with bass guitar and improvisation, while Frank Sauer contributes prose miniatures and haiku. This creates a literary experience that expands the genre of the reading with musical refinement.

Music as a Second Narrative Layer
The musical arrangement here does not act as decoration but as an independent language. Original compositions and improvisations open the evening for pauses, intensifications, and surprising tonal shifts. Especially in a church, this form of reading unfolds a special reading atmosphere: focused, intimate, and at the same time open to resonance. The historic Kreuzkirche with its long construction history provides a worthy setting for this.

A Place with History and Silent Presence
The Kreuzkirche in Alt-Lehndorf is one of the prominent church spaces in Braunschweig and dates back in parts to the 12th or 13th century. The place combines historical depth with a calm, almost contemplative aura. Anyone attending a reading here experiences culture not as an agenda item but as an encounter of space, voice, and text.
