Welcome!

Dear lovers of literature,
We’re looking forward to a top-class edition of lit.COLOGNE Spezial. Every fall since 2011, we’ve presented you with the literary highlights of the season, to keep us all entertained until the next lit.COLOGNE comes around. We hope you’ll enjoy this diverse program, which includes 18 readings across all genres, from outstanding fiction to topical non-fiction.

 

As always, we want to express our sincere gratitude to our partners and sponsors, and to the host of many of our events, WDR5. Save the date: The program for lit.COLOGNE 2024 will be published on December 6, 2023. But first, we hope you’ll enjoy this autumn of literature.

Your lit.COLOGNE team

Die lit.kid.COLOGNE feiert das Lesen!

Für und mit Kindern und Jugendlichen, vormittags für Schulkassen und an den Wochenenden im Familienprogramm und bei lit.ComingOfAge.

Die lit.kid.COLOGNE regt an zum Lesen, zum Mitdenken, zum Mitreden. Autor:innen und andere interessante und interessierte Persönlichkeiten lesen, sprechen, diskutieren mit Kindern und Jugendlichen auf Augenhöhe, nehmen sie mit, um bekannte Horizonte zu überschreiten, um neue Lesewelten entdecken.

The lit.COLOGNE strives to be as inclusive as possible.

For years now, the lit.COLOGNE has been actively working to enable persons with disabilities to participate. There is a wide range of barriers that prevent people with disabilities from participating normally in cultural events. In its efforts to change this, the phil.cologne offers multiple fully-accessible and improved-access events every year.
