Between the Boxing Ring and Memory: A Staged Reading about Johann Rukeli Trollmann
On June 13, 2026, a literary experience of exceptional intensity unfolds at the KOENIGmuseum in Landshut: The staged reading Triumph and Tragedy centers on the boxer Johann "Rukeli" Trollmann and connects literature, history, and cultural remembrance to create an intense author encounter with the fabric of German contemporary history.
An Evening in the Sign of Art and History
The event is part of the exhibition Fight - Art - History and relies on the power of language as well as the presence of performance. A play by Felix Mitterer serves as the basis, whose socially critical drama has stood for clear stance and high literary quality for years. Thomas Ecker and Mona Oswald interpret the material impressively and open it up for an audience that wants not only to listen but to think historically.
Johann Rukeli Trollmann as a Literary and Political Figure
Trollmann represents a heartbreaking conflict of athletic fame, exclusion, and violence. For this reason, his biography is suited for a staged reading that not only tells but condenses. In the reading atmosphere of the KOENIGmuseum, his fate gains a quiet, almost intimate intensity. Language enters into a dialogue with memory culture, focusing on persecution, dignity, and resistance.
Felix Mitterer and the Art of Socially Critical Theater
Felix Mitterer is one of the defining voices of contemporary Austrian drama. The Haymon Verlag describes him as an author whose gaze often falls upon outsiders, social margins, and people who swim against the current. His plays and screenplays have been published by Haymon since 1987. Awards such as the Peter-Rosegger Literature Prize, the Ernst Toller Prize, and other honors underscore his literary authority. This is precisely what is important for this reading: Mitterer's language connects narrative precision with moral urgency.

Place with a Special Aura: the KOENIGmuseum
The KOENIGmuseum in Hofberg is an underground sculpture museum and preserves the legacy of Fritz Koenig. The address Am Prantlgarten 1 in 84028 Landshut points to a location that stands for concentrated experience. The museum offers guided tours and workshops; the exhibition situation and its location in the city make the evening easily accessible and culturally significant. For visitors, a space is created where literature and sculpture intersect. ([erleben.landshut.de](https://erleben.landshut.de/adressen/koenigmuseum/))
An Evening for Readers, Theater Lovers, and Cultural Audiences
Those interested in readings, theater, contemporary history, and strong literary material will find an evening with resonance here. The staged form creates closeness to the figure without losing the historical seriousness. This is precisely the strength of this format: It makes memory not abstract but tangible. On June 13, 2026, it is worthwhile to experience this author encounter live.
