Crime thriller reading with Josef Rauch to guess along
Franconian private detective Philipp Marlein has a problem: he finds a client who wanted to hire him dead in his office - murdered by a stab wound. And Inspector Anna Jordan, whom he calls in to investigate the case, is not exactly well-disposed towards him and suspects him of being the murderer himself. So Marlein investigates on his own to clear himself of any suspicion. The special thing about this case is that the victim was holding Albrecht Dürer's 'Melencolia I' in his hand - apparently to give a clue as to who the murderer was. But how can the murder mystery be solved based on this, when this copperplate engraving by Dürer is one of the most mysterious works in art history and is itself full of riddles...?
At the Dürer crime story reading 'The Dürer Murder', you can look forward to scenic readings by crime writer Josef Rauch in the Albrecht Dürer House. You will be given information about the crime, about the selection of possible perpetrators and about Albrecht Dürer's copperplate engraving 'Melencolia I' - and then you can guess the murderer by correctly deciphering the mysterious symbolism in 'Melencolia I', for which there is also a prize to be won at the end of the reading.
