An evening of dialect that brings the Upper Palatinate to life
At the Weiden Literary Days 2026, on April 22, 2026, the Almrausch club house will be the focus of an evening filled with dialect, a sense of home, and fine humor. Martin Stangl takes the audience on a linguistic journey through the Upper Palatinate, combining reading, dialect, and cultural-historical context into a special event experience.
Dialect meets knowledge and wit
The evening is themed Why the Owl Grew Up and promises a lively mix of dialect tidbits, language history, and surprising insights into regional linguistic imagery. Stangl demonstrates how rich the Upper Palatine dialect is and why even small linguistic differences can have a big impact. This creates closeness, recognition, and many moments where the audience chuckles.
Martin Stangl as the voice of the region
Born in 1961, Martin Stangl was a self-employed bookseller in Weiden for nearly 40 years and founded a publishing house focusing on literature about the Upper Palatinate. With his Upper Palatine dictionary, he collected over 4,000 dialect expressions and clearly shows how much care, experience, and passion is in his work. This professional depth also shapes his reading and gives the evening authority and regional credibility.

The Almrausch club house provides the perfect setting for a compact literary evening with a personal touch. Here, a special audience atmosphere emerges that does not create distance but encourages encounters, conversation, and cultural closeness. Especially at a dialect evening, such a place showcases its strength: approachable, direct, and atmospherically rich.
