Joe Bausch: "Crazy Blood, or How I Became Myself"

On 10 October 2026 at 19:00, a special reading with Joe Bausch takes place at Schlosskirche Altlandsberg. The actor, physician and bestselling author presents his work "Crazy Blood, or How I Became Myself", in which he reflects on pivotal moments in his life, offering a compelling blend of personal biography, contemporary history and social observation.

Joe Bausch has been known for many years both for his TV role in "Tatort" and for his long career as a prison physician. This dual perspective gives his view of people, their life paths and social structures a particular sharpness. During the reading, he recounts formative childhood and adolescent experiences, speaks about his professional journey and shows how everyday encounters in the prison system have shaped his attitudes toward morality, responsibility and human depths.

His narrative style combines seriousness and empathy, while leaving room for quiet irony and surprising moments. This creates a multifaceted portrait of a man who has repeatedly overcome boundaries and taken unconventional paths.

The event offers an opportunity to encounter these perspectives directly and experience the creation of his autobiographical narratives in an impressive historical setting.

Following the reading, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and have books signed.
