ADIR / PRESENTATION OF THE KULTURSTIFTUNG SCHLOSS WIEPERSDORF
The cultural foundation Schloss Wiepersdorf is a member of the Arbeitskreis Deutscher Internationaler Residenzprogramme (short: ADIR, i.e.: Working Group of German International Residency Programmes). More than 20 cultural institutions exchange ideas about the development of residency work in such areas as sustainability, families and partners, inclusion and international protection programmes. The Working Group coordinates matters relating to cultural policy and raises public awareness of the opportunities of artist-in-residence work.
In the video, the director, Annette Rupp, talks about the work of the foundation and the importance of international residency programmes.

Maxie Wander and Fred Wander in Wiepersdorf
A Flair of Vienna in the GDR
Barbe Maria Linke and Dietmar Linke, pastors and authors, met the Austrian couple Fred and Maxie Wander, both writers, in Wiepersdorf. The Wander couple had moved to the GDR (Kleinmachnow) in 1958. Maxie Wander's book Guten Morgen, du Schöne, was published shortly before her death in November 1977 and became very famous.
Fred Wander came from a Jewish family and was imprisoned in several German concentration camps. He wrote novels, stories, children's books and, together with Maxie Wander, travelogues. His key work is considered to be the novel Der siebente Brunnen.
