Life began that summer – with Christoph Kramer and Tommi Schmitt
He played soccer for Borussia Mönchengladbach in the German Bundesliga, was in the national team from 2014 to 2016 and won the World Cup in 2014. Now, Christoph Kramer presents his literary debut. It is summer 2006 – one record hot day after another, the World Cup is electrifying the country and 15-year-old Chris’s whole life is changing. He wants to become a professional soccer player but, above all, he wants to finally be cool. Just like any other teen, Chris is trying to find himself. When Debbie starts to show interest in him, it’s the start of an emotional roller coaster ride, and Chris goes all in. In Das Leben fing im Sommer an [“Life Began that Summer”], with heart, soul and a feel for the little things that mean everything in life, Kramer writes about the highs and lows of growing up, about friendship and about his first love. He’s accompanied this evening by his podcast colleague, Tommi Schmitt.
