The Scharnstein station cat, a limping, purring, always trusting loner, spent many happy years in her little cat house on platform 1. She was always well looked after by the loving donations and cuddles of many passengers. But since the end of April, she has disappeared along with her little house. Has she been called back to the eternal hunting grounds, deported to Pettenbach or perhaps even “renaturalised”?
The Scharnstein Rederei is moving into the railway station from 15-23/06 to fully investigate the disappearance of the cat and give her a dignified farewell. Citizens are invited to share their memories, suspicions, hopes and other worries and concerns with community speaker Fabian Faltin during “consultation hours”.
Together, we are working on a large artistic memorial event in the spirit of humanity and solidarity. A loving memorial with a eulogy, for all interested citizens, for over 100 invited international guests of the European Capital of Culture, and above all “For the cat”.
15-16/06/24 Consultation hours Rederei Scharnstein from 15h30 – 18h3 as well as by appointment.
23/06/24 Artistic eulogy of the Capital of Culture at 15h30 at Scharnstein-Mühldorf train station
