A Voice of Courage: Tim Pröse Remembers Sophie Scholl

On Tuesday, October 27, 2026, journalist and author Tim Pröse will dedicate himself to the last hours in the life of Sophie Scholl at the Deggendorf City Library. The scenic reading takes us back to the year 1943 and combines historical research with an immediate author encounter.

A Literary Portrait in the Face of History

The focus is on Sophie Scholl's thoughts, encounters, and her stance in the Munich prison. Tim Pröse paints the picture of a young woman who, despite persecution and a death sentence, held on to her convictions. His reading approaches the historical figure through personal memories, documentary traces, and a concentrated narrative design.

Research, Memory, and Linguistic Proximity

The event is based on intensive research as well as on memories from the circle of Inge Aicher-Scholl, Sophie Scholl's sister. Pröse is known for his biographical portraits of resistance fighters and survivors of National Socialism. In his scenic reading, he combines literary mediation with historical education and makes the past an experiential linguistic and human experience.

The White Rose and the Question of Attitude

Sophie Scholl, as a member of the resistance group White Rose, stands for civil courage, freedom of conscience, and the courage to oppose. The reading not only looks at the last hours of her life but also at the lasting significance of her decision. What message does Sophie Scholl still have for us today? This question forms the intellectual resonance space of the evening.

Tim Pröse has held numerous readings on Sophie Scholl, Oskar Schindler, and Claus von Stauffenberg. His events combine lectures, scenic elements, rare visual documents, and direct exchanges with the audience. In Deggendorf, literature and history enthusiasts can expect an intense reading atmosphere where voice, language, and memory work closely together.

Conclusion: Memory Becomes a Personal Experience
