A Titanic Saga

In his work "Titanic Saga," author Werner A. Weber traces the fascinating and tragic history of the RMS Titanic. The book is a meticulous chronicle that links the belief in technical progress of the Edwardian era with the profound human fates on board. Weber begins with the construction in Belfast: The Titanic was considered a marvel of technology, but the attribute of being "unsinkable" proved to be fatal hubris. The author guides the reader through the ship s strict class society—from the exorbitant luxury of millionaires in first class to the modest hopes of emigrants in the lower decks. Weber describes the night of April 14, 1912, with particular intensity. He analyzes the chain of poor decisions and pays tribute to the heroic moments of the crew and musicians who remained at their posts until the very end. The book concludes with the legal investigations and the discovery of the wreck in 1985. Weber s work is a timeless reminder of the limits of human endeavor and, at the same time, a memorial to the victims. Experience the Story To complement the book, the exhibition at the Metropolis-Halle offers an immersive experience featuring original artifacts and detailed reconstructions (such as the Grand Staircase).
