Reinhold Messner – Über Leben

What does home smell like? How much freedom does a child need? And what do we learn about life when we come close to death?

Reinhold Messner takes his audience on an extraordinary journey – from his childhood as a boy from South Tyrol to the highest peaks in the world and far beyond.

He climbed mountains that were considered insurmountable at the time, pushed the boundaries of the possible, and became one of the most influential personalities in modern alpinism. But “Over Life” is much more than the story of great summit successes.

Messner recounts moments when fear became a survival instinct, decisions at the limit, and the question of what drives a person to seek new boundaries again and again.

He also reflects on the other chapters of his life: his adventures in the deserts of this world, his time as a politician and mountain farmer, the creation of his extraordinary museum landscape, and his life as a family man and father of four.

What remains when the great peaks have been climbed?

Powerfully articulated, personal, and unembellished, Reinhold Messner tells of courage and passion, ambition and responsibility, loss, new beginnings, and the inevitable process of aging.

An evening about the life of an extraordinary person – and about the questions that concern us all.

Experience Reinhold Messner in person and discover the man behind the legend.
