Rainer Maria Rilke meets...: An exhibition that makes poetry visible
Schloss Fachsenfeld opens the view of Rainer Maria Rilke not only as a lyricist but as a continuing source of inspiration for contemporary art. The exhibition gathers works created in the context of Rilke's productions in the park, Today: a white elephant and Rilke in the garden, and leads literature, visual art, and theater into a quiet, intense dialogue.

When Rilke's language meets artistic forms
Rilke is considered one of the most lyrically intense German-speaking poets; his imagery, existential questions, and the tension between beauty and loss continue to shape European literature to this day. It is from this friction that the exhibition derives its strength: it shows how strongly Rilke's work continues to resonate in painting, photography, and artistic intervention.

A parcours between castle, park, and literary memory
At Schloss Fachsenfeld, works by Wiebke Bader, Paul Groll, Tobias Kerger, Jessica Rühmann, Trigal Sandberger Canas, Silke Schwab-Krüger, and Ines Tartler enter into relationship with Rilke. The presentation is complemented by photographs by Rainer Enke and documents from the holdings of the Stiftung Schloss Fachsenfeld. The result is not a museum accessory but a literary experience with historical depth and aesthetic presence. ([schloss-fachsenfeld.de](https://schloss-fachsenfeld.de/events/))
