After returning from exile, he began his work in Braunschweig until 1956. In a sensational trial, he achieved the rehabilitation of the resistance fighters of July 20, 1944. His work in Frankfurt until 1968 was associated with the kidnapping of Adolf Eichmann and the Auschwitz trials. The controversial lawyer encountered a wide range of rejections, and as a Jew, also openly anti-Semitic hostility. He campaigned for the consistent criminal prosecution of Nazi injustice and thus made a significant contribution to the democratization of West German society.

"The beggars beg, the thieves steal, the whores whore. And the shark has teeth, and it wears them on its face..." Brecht's sharp-tongued travesty, in which the beggars and crooks act more bourgeois than good society, seems to have lost a few of its sharp teeth today, so natural has Brecht's critique of capitalism become to us. Here, crime is subject to the ice-cold laws of the market and love has a precisely calculated price. And so greed and profiteering are the determining principles that neither an old male friendship nor a tender romance can withstand. Doesn't that still sound familiar?

The premiere of "Girl Murderer :: Brunke" by the award-winning theater collective RAUM+ZEIT brings the writer Thomas Brasch (1945-2001) back to life and brings him to Braunschweig for a reading. The Karl Brunke case, a true Braunschweig story, caused a stir at the beginning of the 20th century because Brunke murdered two young women, allegedly at their request. Brasch withdrew in the 1990s and researched the crime like an obsessive. More than 14,000 manuscript pages were collected and are now archived. In 1999, Brasch's publishing house published a volume of just 100 pages.

Girl Murderer :: Brunke

Count Orlok wants to buy a property in Wismar and in order to clarify the purchase agreement, the estate agent Knock sends his young employee Hutter to Transylvania. There he is received in Orlok's castle and bitten. Orlok sees a medallion with the portrait of Hutter's wife Ellen - and immediately signs the purchase agreement. He packs his travel coffins full of contaminated soil and sets off for Wismar. None of the sailors survive Orlok's passage on the ship, but plenty of rats do, bringing the plague to Wismar. While the city gradually becomes depopulated, Hutter's wife learns that only she - and only by sacrificing herself - can put an end to Orlok's haunting.
