Reichskanzlerplatz – Nora Bossong and Benno Fürmann on the woman who became Magda Goebbels
In the early days of the Weimar Republic, war and political fanaticism seem far away for Hans, who is hopelessly in love with Hellmut. Years later, he starts an affair with unhappily married Magda to hide his homosexuality. But that relationship ends when she meets Joseph Goebbels and joins the Nazi Party. While Magda is soon celebrated as a fanatical Nazi and ideal mother with her children in the weekly film reel “Wochenschau”, Hans is in growing danger …
In Reichskanzlerplatz, Nora Bossong paints a vivid portrait of Magda Goebbels and her lover – two individuals caught up in the storm of historical events. “A fearless novel about complicity, and about how great evil can grow from small beginnings [...] complex, sober and merciless” (Daniel Kehlmann). Benno Fürmann lends his voice to the text. Host: Knut Elstermann
