1921: We found or society

The story begins on October 12, 1921, not in Gräfelfing, but in Krailling. At the invitation of Dr. Adolf Stamm, around 20 people met to found the “Planegg – Krailling – Gräfelfing Literary Society”.

​The article from Merkur from January 8, 2015 describes what the newspaper believed it was like to navigate the Literary Society through the Nazional Socialist era. Theodor Engelmann was its chairman from 1934 to 1944.

Mission statement:

» We learn to talk to each other. That means we don't just want to repeat our opinions, we want to hear what the other person thinks. We don't just want to assert, we want to think about it in context, listen to reasons, stay ready, and come to new insight. «
