The landscape of the Calumet, an area that sits astride the Indiana-Illinois state line at the southern end of Lake Michigan was shaped by the glaciers that withdrew toward the end of the last ice age--about 45,000 years ago. In the years since, many natural forces, including wind, running water, and the waves of Lake Michigan, have continued to shape the land. The lake's modern and ancient shorelines have served as Indian trails, stagecoach routes, highways, and sites that have evolved into many of the cities, towns, and villages of the Calumet area. People have also left their mark on the landscape: Indians built mounds; farmers filled in wetlands; governments commissioned ditches and canals to drain marshes and change the direction of rivers; sand was hauled from where it was plentiful to where it was needed for urban and industrial growth. These thousands of years of weather and movements of peoples have given the Calumet region its distinct climate and appeal.
DER GROSSE SAUERLAND-ROMAN ÜBER DEN PLETTENBERGER STADTBRAND VON 1725! Pastor Thöne entdeckt am Nachmittag des 12. April die ersten Flammen. Er läutet die Brandglocke, bemüht sich verzweifelt zu retten, was nicht mehr zu retten ist. Stunden später ist die Stadt zerstört und die Menschen stehen vor der Frage, wie es überhaupt zu solch einem verheerenden Stadtbrand kommen konnte. So mancher zweifelt am offiziellen Brandbericht der Stadtoberen. Tatsächlich stößt der eigens einberufene Ermittler Durham auf Ungeheuerlichkeiten, die teils Jahre zurückreichen. Nach und nach offenbaren sich Abgründe, die erst das Feuer ans Licht bringen konnte. Udo Weinbörner gelingt ein historischer Roman mit großen Liebesgeschichten, lebendigen Einblicken in den Alltag einer Kleinstadt des 18. Jahrhunderts und spannender Unterhaltung. Die einfachen Leute, die aufstrebenden Tuchmacher und ehrgeizige Stadtobere, die nicht immer das Wohl der Stadt über ihre eigenen Interessen stellen, spielen bei der Suche nach der Wahrheit eine besondere Rolle. Eine Geschichte von Feuer, Schuld und Schweigen, die ihren Platz im Märkischen Sauerland hat.
