»where the universe is at home«

anyone who goes to the fraunhofer for the first time feels that legends are born there. and those who come a 2nd time know that the pub with its stage in the backyard is a legend itself. and christof leistl is the artist who authored the book to the 200th anniversary of the pub. the coarse-grainy photos show how monstrous everyday life can be in a munich beer hall. the transition from pub to culture, from boozing to shouting is marked by actor jörg hube in the centre of the book. he is followed by other important figures of the stage at the fraunhofer nobody has seen before in that way.

… anyone who wants to get more deeply involved in the ›feeling fraunhofer‹ can find the instructions here. … of the successful landlord and the bankrupt tenant, of the envy of the diffeerent trades and the calculating resentment of nazis … a book as rough, ecstatic and impredictable as the fraunhofer itself.« (s. dickhaut, delikatessen)
