In her series "Life Lines," published in the Berliner Tagesspiegel, the award-winning author explores a variety of fates and life paths. From fleeting encounters, personal and honest stories have emerged, giving readers insight into the biographies of people who could just as easily be their neighbors. Everyone could tell their own "life line"! On a larger scale, it addresses identity questions between cultures. Often, these are fragmented biographies where significant and minor historical events intervene. On a smaller scale, it may simply be about listening to others and sharing one's story. Birgit Weyhe, with her distinctive style, advocates for an open interaction with one another, for a society that cares about its fellow human beings.
