An Evening on Schubart, Freedom, and the High Asperg
On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, the GenerationenTreff Ulm will be the place for an intelligent, historical lecture evening: Under the title "Freedom Lives on the Mountains, But Not on the Asperg," literature, politics, and city history will meet in an exciting event experience. The focus will be on Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart, who lived in Ulm from 1775 to 1777 and later was imprisoned on the High Asperg. The evening will be presented by Olaf Krischker and Kristin Weigand. ([kultur-in-ulm.de](https://www.kultur-in-ulm.de/veranstaltung/52059/))
History with Tension and Relevance to the Present
Schubart is regarded as a literate, journalist, and composer, but above all as a pointed critic of the times. The Schubart Society describes him as an important thinker of the southwestern German democracy movement. This very friction between spirit, power, and freedom also characterizes the evening in Ulm: Anyone interested in cultural history, enlightenment, and biographical boundary crossings will find here a unique form of audience engagement beyond classic routine lectures.

The Venue Fits the Format
The GenerationenTreff Ulm at Grünen Hof 5 is designed for meeting and exchange. The location has accessible entry and an elevator; the Felix-Fabri-Saal in the building also has space for over 100 people. The public transport connection is good: The location can be reached with lines 4, 5, and 6. This speaks for a pleasant organization and a relaxed event experience in a central location.

Audience Mood Between Reflection and Curiosity
The event relies on a calm, focused atmosphere rather than speed and noise. This is precisely what makes it so appealing: The mix of historical material, literary background, and local reference creates a dense ambiance that appeals to culture-interested visitors as well as anyone who enjoys diving deeper into regional history. The evening is likely to resonate particularly well with an audience that appreciates lectures with substance, clear context, and a good narrative flow.
