Author reading with Dr. Barbara Syrbe

Barbara Syrbe made national headlines in 2001: As a single mother of three, she became the first female district councillor of today's Left Party.
Now she takes us on a journey through her 17 years in office - with stories that are moving, amusing and rousing at the same time.
Find out how "the files got a face", why a tandem jump from 3,000 meters landed unexpectedly hard or how she stood up to a waste profiteer.
Barbara Syrbe recounts her experiences and encounters with a great deal of charm and self-irony: from village women as her best advisors, inspiring companions and even heated arguments with ministers in Schwerin.
Look forward to a reading that not only brings a piece of political history to life, but is also a heartfelt homage to the country and its people.
