From the first third of the 19th century, railroads, which had initially served as a means of transportation for industry, became a common means of transport and travel throughout Europe. Due to the new speed of the mechanical means of transportation, the natural world began to shrink more and more and changed the experience of space and time. Some contemporaries of the time not only celebrated the rapid accessibility of distant places by rail, but also saw trains as technical guarantors of international understanding, progress and peace. Others, however, saw the fast, relatively smooth glide as a loss.
In the staged reading "Spurwechsel", literary quotations about train journeys, railroad lines and stations in Eastern Europe are presented by the actor Wolfgang Wagner, supplemented and linked by cultural-historical commentaries by the author Roswitha Schieb.
