lit.COLOGNE

In the organizer's words:

International Literature Festival.

+ Readings + Debates + Encounters +

In Cologne, ideas are usually born over a Kölsch beer; this one was born in an ice cream parlor:
Since 2001, lit.COLOGNE has been held every year in March in Cologne. It is an international literature festival that complements the classic author reading with discussions and conversations with musicians, chefs, athletes, politicians, in short, exciting and important personalities of our world.

With up to 200 events and a separate program for children (lit.kid.COLOGNE), lit.COLOGNE is one of the largest literature festivals in Europe. The events take place in theaters and venues throughout the city of Cologne.
