The authorized representative of Wedding: an insight into Hermsdorf's story

On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, the time has finally come! At 6 p.m., the Museum Reinickendorf (Alt-Hermsdorf 35, 13467 Berlin) promises a fascinating event: The book presentation "The authorized signatory from Wedding" starts with a gripping reading and an exciting conversation. History comes to life here!

Erwin Koerfgen, a remarkable merchant who lived in Hermsdorf between 1923 and 1947, is in the spotlight - a place that harbors many memories. Birthday child in 1892 in the rough workers' district of Wedding, Koerfgen managed to make his personal vision come true as an authorized representative of the well -known cigar factory "Loeser & Wolff". The dream of living in your own garden became a reality in this idyllic suburb of the imperial capital.

a life between city and nature

District City Council for Culture, Harald Muschner (CDU), describes Koerfgen as more than just one authorized signatory: "Koerfgen was a person with an extraordinary feeling for life between city and nature." A man who united the entrepreneurial spirit and a deep connection to the region. His life story tells of a time that brought both challenges and great achievements.

The biographical report by Dr. Rainer Drews gives deep insights into Koerfgen's remarkable personality and the partly dramatic fates of his family, who lived in the first half of the 20th century. This is not only a look into the past, but also an invitation to rediscover the exciting history of Hermsdorf through the eyes of a very special person.
