Reading with Köbi Gantenbein

Ancient chapels, ostentatious churches of war entrepreneurs, the most beautiful painting in the Alps, the first strike in the canton, the bishop's fight for lost souls turned into stone, the former church as a luxurious second home – the Lower Engadine is a fascinating church landscape. Köbi Gantenbein, long-time editor-in-chief and publisher of Hochparterre and passionate hiker, visited the 30 churches between Brail and Martina. He reports on their architecture, the church, art and social history from the Lower Engadine. Gantenbein immerses himself in the history of the Reformation, visits the first writer in Graubünden's literary history, and is perplexed by the horrors of the military campaigns in the 17th century. He hikes with the economic refugees from the Lower Engadine to St. Petersburg, Foggia, Genoa and back, and he shows why the fire is an influential architect of churches.
Köbi Gantenbein will not only read passages from the book, but will also contribute exclusive texts about the region.
