An evening between royal myth and literary suspense at Lake Ammer
On July 1, 2026, Oliver Pötzsch, one of the best-known German authors of historical novels, will come to the Kulturkirche Breitbrunn in Herrsching. The occasion is a reading from The Ludwig Conspiracy, the novel that transforms the mystery surrounding Ludwig II into a dense mixture of historical thriller, archival trails, and narrative precision.

Literary suspense with historical depth
Pötzsch is an author who does not merely retell history but atmospherically charges it. On his official website, he describes himself with the guiding principle that the best stories are written by history; his Henkerstochter series, his historical novels, and his broad international readership impressively attest to this writing style. Ullstein also categorizes him as a bestselling author of historical novels. ([oliver-poetzsch.de](https://oliver-poetzsch.de/en/ueber-mich-2/))
The material: Ludwig II. as a riddle of German literature
The Ludwig Conspiracy revolves around the unresolved death of the fairy tale king and weaves together contemporary events, the deciphering of an old diary, and the fascination with 19th-century Bavaria. The novel was published in 2011 by Ullstein and is part of Pötzsch's historical works that captivate readers with period color, suspense, and cultural-historical research.
