An Evening about Courage, Equality, and the Power of a Sentence
On September 30, 2026, the City Library of Hof invites you to an evening salon about Dr. Elisabeth Selbert. The evening focuses on a woman whose political perseverance has shaped German constitutional history and whose name still stands for equality today.
Elisabeth Selbert as a Literary-Political Figure
Elisabeth Selbert was a lawyer, social democrat, and one of the four mothers of the Basic Law. Her commitment to the sentence "Men and women are equal" made her a key figure of post-war democracy. The event not only highlights her biography but also addresses how historical responsibility, linguistic power, and social change are connected.
Salon Format Instead of Classic Reflection
The evening in Hof is explicitly designed as an open conversation format. Performative access and informative passages combine to create a reading atmosphere where authority develops not from distance but from encounter. Franziska Fröhlich will guide the program and opens a space with her approach from Applied Theatre and Puppetry where memory remains alive.
Present, Education, and Democratic Discourse
The perspective from the past to the present is particularly strong. Because equality does not end in the constitutional text of 1949. The salon evening asks about current fields of action, about education, role models, and the role of each individual in a democratic society. This is precisely where the literary and cultural quality of this evening lies: It continues history as a conversation.
A Special Place for a Special Topic
The City Library of Hof is a suitable place for this literary-political experience. As a house of reading, education, and encounter, it provides the framework for exchange, discussion, and concentrated attention. Those interested in the history of democracy, women's rights, and inspiring women's biographies will find an evening with substantive depth and personal closeness here.
The salon evening about Elisabeth Selbert promises a thoughtful, contemporary, and touching engagement with a woman whose influence resonates to this day. Those who appreciate political education, history, and a vibrant conversation culture should experience this evening live.
