An evening of passion, morality, and world history
On September 10, 2026, a cinematic evening unfolds at the Brandtsköppshaus Hinternah with historical weight and quiet human tension: "A Love for Peace" tells the story of Bertha von Suttner and Alfred Nobel, whose connection between correspondence, political stance, and personal attraction creates a remarkable portrait of European modernity. This elaborately staged historical drama is based on the historically fictional play Mr. & Mrs. Nobel by Esther Vilar and brings a storyline to the screen where theater atmosphere, biography, and contemporary history intertwine powerfully.

Bertha von Suttner and Alfred Nobel: When ideals clash
The film centers on a relationship that is simultaneously intellectually, emotionally, and politically charged. Bertha von Suttner, activist, pacifist, and writer, first meets Alfred Nobel as a private secretary in Paris. From mutual sympathy grows a deep bond shaped by differing worldviews, the shadow of war, and the idea of the Nobel Peace Prize. It is precisely this tension that lends the material its dramatic density. ([nahetal.info](https://www.nahetal.info/veranstaltungen/2945299/2026/09/10/kino-eine-liebe-f%C3%BCr-den-frieden.html))
Historical drama with a stage feel and emotional precision
The production is described as an elaborately equipped, convincingly staged, and performed mixture of historical drama and tragic love story. This mixture creates a theater experience in the best sense: clear character development, a strong dramatic tension field, and a theatrical atmosphere that connects the great historical arc with personal nuances. Those interested in acting, directing, and cultural historical topics will find an evening that resonates.

The venue: Brandtsköppshaus as a cultural meeting point
The Brandtsköppshaus in Hinternah provides an appropriate setting for this. The historical building has been extensively renovated and serves as a multipurpose room with a mobile stage, refreshment services, restroom facilities including an accessible toilet, a local museum, and a library. The house represents lived cultural work in the Nahetal and was awarded the Thuringian Monument Protection Prize in 2010. Thus, the place connects historical substance with vibrant community spirit.
