Crime Reading at Richmond Castle: When Braunschweig Becomes a Stage
On July 7, 2026, Richmond Castle in Braunschweig will open its doors for a special mix of reading, local experience, and historical tour. At Crime Scenes at Ringgleis | The Fat Paul | Insights into Richmond Castle, fictional crime literature meets a setting with its own history: Author Maren Voß sets her case against the picturesque backdrop, followed by a tour of the historic building. This format is part of the anthology Crime Scenes at Ringgleis, a collaboration between Forum Industriekultur and KrimiWerkstatt Braunschweig, connecting real industrial culture with narrative tension.

Literature, Place, and Atmosphere
The charm of this stage experience lies in the friction between text and space. Richmond Castle is not just a backdrop, but a resonating body: a place where reading, architecture, and urban history intertwine. The event series will present nine readings at original locations in 2026, linking each station with an additional program component such as a guided tour or lecture. This creates a theatrical atmosphere in the broader sense: not as classical theater, but as a vivid staging of memory, space, and voice.

Drama with Historical Echo
The anthology Crime Scenes at Ringgleis leads to sites of Braunschweig's industrial culture and narrates crime cases between past and present. In reception, the project is described as a lively combination of prose and encyclopedia; the stories connect real places with a framing investigative line. This is precisely where the dramaturgical quality of this evening lies: The audience not only follows a narrative but discovers an urban landscape that reveals its industrial and cultural layers.

Richmond Castle as a Strong Setting
Richmond Castle is one of the most distinctive historical sites in Braunschweig. The castle and the surrounding park were inspired by Richmond Park in London; the complex is closely connected to the city's history and the landscape thinking of the 18th century. For this reason, the reading has a particular impact here: The historic ambiance carries the words, while the tour translates what has been heard into built history.
