A North German Family Epic on the Stage of the Fürth City Theater

With Altes Land, the Fürth City Theater is bringing to the stage on November 4, 2026, a story that tells like few others about origin, loss, and the tentative desire for belonging. Dörte Hansen's novel condenses the German post-war experience into a finely balanced family story where flight, silence, and new bonds intersect.

Between Apple Trees and Inner Landscapes

The story follows Vera Eckhoff, who as a child is displaced from East Prussia with her mother and finds a farm in the Old Country that promises protection but still retains a sense of alienation. The material thrives on silent tension: from the rough North German tone, from mistrust in the village, from the patience of those people who organize life through hard work. This literary quality makes the stage adaptation appealing.

Homeland as a Literary Conflict

Dörte Hansen has written a bestseller with her debut novel that does not idealize homeland but instead shows it as a fragile promise. On stage, this unfolds into a chamber play about generations where memory and present constantly rub against each other. Those who appreciate literature with social depth will not experience a mere retelling here, but a precisely questioned living environment.

Reading Atmosphere and Theater Experience

In the festive ambiance of the Fürth City Theater, the evening gains that closeness which fully opens literary materials. An intimate atmosphere is created between language, performance, and eye contact, transforming a well-known novel into an immediate theater experience. It is precisely the combination of narrative art and scenic condensation that promises an evening of emotional impact and quiet resonance.

The Fürth City Theater as a Suitable Setting

The venue in Königstraße is one of the cultural centers of the region and offers a professional framework for an evening of this kind with its large main auditorium, barrier-free access, and good connections to the subway and bus. Those arriving early can comfortably reach the performance; wheelchair spaces and induction systems in the orchestra increase accessibility for diverse needs.

Conclusion

Altes Land is an evening for all who love literary quality, North German atmosphere, and strong characters. This stage adaptation invites you to rediscover Dörte Hansen's novel – as a moving play about origin, family, and the longing for a place that can be called home.
