Literatursalon im Romanischen Café
Berlin promised immersion in a modern lifestyle, connection to the literary avant-garde, and a break from the ties of origin, family, and day job. "For me, Berlin truly hangs over Prague, like heaven over earth," Kafka wrote to his fiancée, Felice Bauer.

The young professional woman, who worked in the office of a Berlin record company, was the ideal projection surface for Kafka's longing for modern Berlin. The marriage project fell through.
But with his last girlfriend, Dora Diamant, Kafka, who was suffering from lung disease, spent an adventurous and happy six months in Steglitz and Zehlendorf in the winter of 1923/24.
One hundred years after Kafka's death, Michael Bienert retraces the topography of Kafka's real and imaginary Berlin, focusing on places that are still worth visiting today.
In the exhibition space "The Romanesque Café," he presents the second edition of his "Frankfurter Buntbuch" with slides.
