Revival of European Salon culture !

This autumn we bring back the old times of Europe's cultural glory...when our Salon for literature and music opens its doors in my Bavarian homeland. Placed in Reichenbach, a pittoresque village in the country with a rich history, not far from the Unesco world heritage city of Regensburg, it will offer a variety of cultural events and educational classes: in collaboration with national and international artists and teachers an exchange of cultural topics will be offered to every one who is interested in music and literature.

The tradition of cultural salons - literary salons and musical salons - dates back to the 16th century. As an artist, singer and writer, it has always been my deepest wish to re-establish such a gathering for artists to discuss and organize art projects and musical productions in an aesthetic environment of noble decency and class.

Our first season in autumn 2025 starts with the presentation of my latest book "Marie Sophie Amalie" about Empress Sisi's youngeer sister Marie, last Queen of Naples two Sicilies. The presentation includes the exhibition of some very exquisite documents and even personal memorabilia from the Queen and her family...









Our historical house is the birth place of Augustin Wagner, a German priest and martyr. As a catholic host of cultural events I keep the Christian tradition for all gatherings and concerts with pride and in honour of our Lord Jesus Christ. In addition there is a funny connection between the house and the history of Empress Sisi's family...discover more on your visit!


From 12th of September our Salon welcomes musicians, poets and art lovers!
