Literary Round with Depth

The focus is not on a fleeting literary trend, but on careful reading. The course works with excerpts, impressions, and contradictory viewpoints, which make good literature productive. That 2026 marks the special birthdays of E. T. A. Hoffmann, Erich Loest, Siegfried Lenz, and Max von der Grün grounds the Literature Circle in a cultural-historical horizon that ranges from Romanticism to post-war literature. This creates a culture of conversation that does not instruct but opens up. ([weiden.de](https://www.weiden.de/kultur/veranstaltungen/veranstaltungskalender/details/literaturkreis))
