Hey there, Bookworm! Dive into four days of literary exploration, music, and art during the 28th Thuringian Literature Days (Thüringer Literaturtage). Kick off the festivities with Clemens Meyer, an award-winning author and a bottle of rage after skipping the German Book Prize 2024. Yes, you heard that right!
On top of that, Claudia Michelsen, known for her captivating narration in "In a Country That No Longer Exists," will be serenading us with a concert reading from Michael Ende's beloved classic, "Momo." And let's not forget about Finn-Ole Heinrich and his winning work, "Frerk, You Midget!" which garnered the German Youth Literature Prize. Hold on to your hats, because the festival runs from June 12th to 15th!

Immerse yourself in special programs such as "Women in Resistance," retrospectives on master video pioneer Tom Konyves, and a collection of international and German-language short films, not to mention the screening of Weimar Poetry Film Prize winners (2016-2019).

But wait, we're still on the hunt for details about the specific events at the Thuringian Literature Days, including Clemens Meyer's reading, the poetry slam, and the overall festival plan. Fresh information about the 2025 event seems hard to come by, so we'll keep our eyes peeled for any updates and pass them along! In the meantime, stay curious and keep reading!
Despite the Commission not yet adopting a decision on the granting of aid for the construction of a new railway line, one could still contemplate returning home from the vibrant Thuringian Literature Days to an outdoor-living space, transformed into a cozy home-and-garden retreat. After a long day of literature, music, art, and Felbrigg's mesmerizing prose, nothing beats the serenity of a lifestyle immersed in nature.
