An evening full of wit, contradiction, and Swabian rebellion
On November 18, 2026, at 7:00 PM, literature meets vibrant contemporary history at the KulturBahnhof Aalen. The musical reading Remstal-Rebel! The Wild Life of Helmut Palmer highlights one of the most colorful figures in post-war Württemberg history. Helmut Palmer, who also wanted to become the mayor of Aalen in 1975, was known as a civil rights activist, tree whisperer, performance artist, and an uncomfortable fighter for the common good.

A portrait between provocation and passion
The Historical Society Aalen e.V. has stood for the research and communication of local history for decades. The association goes back to its historical predecessors, was newly founded in 1972, and aims to make history understandable and publicly accessible. It is in exactly this environment that the event unfolds its impact: as a pointed, well-researched reading with a strong local reference.

Peter Schwarz narrates in the reading episodes from Palmer's life that are sometimes funny and sometimes tragic. He is accompanied by Axel Nagel, whose songs musically capture the rebellious tone of the evening.
