Quotes

Christine Brückner about her house of poets:

“According to property book no. 2119, land register volume 91, sheet 2474 of the Hessian land registry office in Kassel, I own 232 square meters of earth, of which about a third is built on with an owner-occupied home. Neither fence nor wall separates it from similar properties, only bushes, lilacs, roses, and laburnum. Most of it blooms without my help; sometimes someone stops who I assume will envy me. "

Friedrich Seitz on the house of poets:

“It is especially her roses in the little garden behind the low house on Hans-Böckler-Str. 5 of which Christine likes to be addressed: pink, yellow, white, deep red roses. "
