Free entrance.png

On this day, we’ll be creating poetry through images, writing and painting very short or very long poems. The room at the Literaturhaus opens its doors to anyone who enjoys painting, writing, reading and listening – whether you’ve got your head in the clouds, your feet firmly on the ground, or whether you’re a witch, a fairy, a fish or a mermaid. Just bring your imagination and your poetic spirit with you and have fun playing with words and colours. You’ll find all the materials you need on site, as well as a reading corner.
