Julimond: A family story between East Prussia, Landshut, and Los Angeles

On November 13, 2026, Monika Schwaighofer invites you to a book presentation with a reading from her biography Julimond – in the footsteps of the women in my family at the Cafe/Weinstube Siebensee in Landshut. The focus is on a multifaceted family story that leads from East Prussia through the post-war period in Landshut to Los Angeles.

Memory as a literary search for traces

Julimond connects personal memory, family chronicle, and historical research. The narrative takes you to the area around Gumbinnen, which today belongs to the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad, and makes visible how closely private life paths are connected to the political upheavals of the 20th century.

Between sorrow, nostalgia, and new beginnings

The reading touches on the experiences of loss of the East Prussian women as well as the departure into a new era. Sorrow and nostalgia acquire their own linguistic atmosphere, characterized by change, new beginnings, and the power of family traditions.

An intimate reading atmosphere in Landshut

In the Cafe/Weinstube Siebensee, literature, memory, and social gathering meet. Coffee, cake, and a glass of wine frame the author encounter and create immediate access to the life stories that resonate through generations in Julimond.

Literary quality and cultural memory

The biography stands in the tension between family memory, post-war history, migration, and identity. Its narrative quality lies in the connection of concrete places with the voices and fates of women whose life paths have been shaped by war, loss of home, and emigration. This allows the reading to open a personal access to an important chapter of European memory culture.

Conclusion: An evening for literature and history enthusiasts
