What special event do you associate with Kurt A. Körber?

Kurt A. Körber was characterized by a great attachment to the city of Dresden. and this was also noticeable after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Already in the spring of 1990, in the context of a "Bergedorf Round Table", he brought history books to Dresden for the district and the entire city for 40,000 schoolchildren, and I had the great privilege of being part of this event.

What souvenir do you associate with Kurt A. Körber?

My personal memento of Kurt A. Körber is this book by Hermann Schreiber: Kapitalist mit Gemeinsinn (Capitalist with public spirit). Specially because there the journalist, Herrmann Schreiber who knew Mr. Körber personally through the Opera Foundation, has developed a special literary form, a psychogram, which comes very, very close to the person in his complexity and presents him as a person with an incredible creative drive.
