lit.COLOGNE POP 2026 - The festival within the festival

On March 6 & 7, 2026, lit.COLOGNE POP will present ten events on literature, politics and pop culture for the fourth time.

Culture connects fiction and reality, provides ideas and impetus, questions, makes visible and makes you feel - the fourth edition is once again dedicated to exciting novels, new voices and current discourses.
