Dagmar Reichardt

The House's later branches include German composer and music critic Johann Friedrich Reichardt (1752–1814), as its most prominent cultural representative who appeared in Königsberg, Halle and at the courts of three Prussian kings in Berlin and Potsdam.

Von Petit, who was the son of a lieutenant in the regiment of Malschitzky and a French Protestant refugee (Réfugié), worked in the Silesian town of Brieg (now Brzeg, Poland) and was the author of the volume Poems: My Whole Wealth Is My Song (Gedichte.

In 1853, he published a weekly Brieg newspaper under the title of Jest and Seriousness (Scherz und Ernst), which contained essays, poems, and epigrams related to literature and history by various writers.

Dagmar Reichardt grew up as the daughter of a German diplomat in Santiago de Chile and Rome before she started her international academic career in Germany.

In Hamburg, she also directed the creative writing workshop with the onomatopoetic German title Reiters Ruhm (Rider's Renown) by the Writers' Room e.V.

These were followed by additional literary translations (from Italian and English language into German) and critical editions, including the book of poetry Himmelsreden (Heavenly Speeches, 2004) by Giuseppe Bonaviri, the film script Der heilige Paulus (Saint Paul, 2007; with a foreword by Dacia Maraini) by Pier Paolo Pasolini, as well as music editions by Etta Scollo (2014) or Marco Basley (2014) and short texts by Ennio Morricone (2019), Igiaba Scego (2020), Iain Chambers (2020) and Dacia Maraini (2007 and 2020).

Her studies on Sicily were subsequently expanded with an extensive project on the cultural hybridity and transculturality of Sicilian island literature, which led to the publication of the interdisciplinary, trilingual volume of L'Europa che comincia e finisce: la Sicilia (2006).

Thus, the Sicilian journalist and writer Giuseppe Quatriglio considered this to be "a remarkable study […] with undoubtedly meritorious and complex research results" (Giornale di Sicilia, April 7, 2006), while the Italian literature critic Sergio Sciacca honored it as "an exceptionally original work […] and a significant step toward the cultural design of a "New Europe" (La Sicilia, July 21, 2006) and the German scholar Christoph Schamm certifies in the online-journal IASL i.a.
