Literari­scher Spaziergang durch Düsseldorf

In the organizer's words:

A tour in the footsteps of Düsseldorf authors and to literary locations with Maren Jungclaus, Literaturbüro NRW

Christian Dietrich Grabbe lived - and drank - in the narrow streets of the old town, Heinrich Spoerl was inspired by his own school days at the Oberrealschule am Fürstenwall to write his novel "Die Feuerzangenbowle", Clara Viebig vividly described life in 19th century Düsseldorf in her novels and memoirs, Günter Grass jazzed in the "Cikos" and Thomas Kling immortalized the legendary artist scene in the "Ratinger Hof" in his poems. Düsseldorf has always had a lively literary scene, and the city has been and continues to be the setting for many texts - including contemporary ones - by authors from abroad and those living here: Uwe Johnson's "Jahrestage", Hans Pleschinski's "Königsallee" or the crime novels that Horst Eckhard, Sabine Klewe and many others have set in the state capital are just a few examples in which Düsseldorf becomes the stage for events.

"Read" Düsseldorf on a hike with Maren Jungclaus to important literary locations!

An event organized by the Literaturbüro NRW in cooperation with the Volkshochschule Düsseldorf
