Reading "Tunnel of the Brave" by Christian Hardinghaus

To mark the anniversary of the escape of courageous people from East to West Berlin through "Tunnel 57" on October 3 and 4, 1964, the Berlin Wall Foundation and Berliner Unterwelten e.V. have launched a week of events (30.9. to 6.10.2024). The story of "Tunnel 57" and the death of border guard Egon Schultz became world-famous.

As part of this week of events, Christian Hardinghaus will read from his new novel "Tunnel der Mutigen" in the presence of contemporary witness and tunnel builder Winfried Schweitzer. In his historical novel, Hardinghaus tells the incredible story of a spectacular escape from the GDR through an illegal tunnel.
