Invitation to the opening of lit.RUHR 2025
Life began in summer
with Christoph Kramer
He played for Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach, was a national player from 2014 to 2016, became world champion in 2014, and is a much sought-after expert.
Now Christoph Kramer has made his literary debut: Summer 2006 – one heat record after another, the World Cup is electrifying the country, and for 15-year-old Chris, his whole life is changing. He wants to become a professional soccer player, but above all, he wants one thing: to finally be cool. Like every other teenager, Chris is searching for himself.
With a lot of heart and sensitivity, Kramer tells the story of growing up, friendship, and first love in Das Leben fing im Sommer (Life Began in Summer).
We cordially invite you to our reception starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Blue Salon of the Lichtburg Essen.
The reading with Christoph Kramer begins at 8 p.m.
