A Place with Democratic Aura

Those who listen to a reading here not only experience the art of language but also history in the room. The venue is located at Kaiser-Friedrich-Straße 16 in 53113 Bonn.

What Makes This Reading Special
The reading promises an intimate atmosphere between political grounding and narrative precision. Struwe's book relies on a question-and-answer format, illustrative examples, and the power of storytelling. Especially in Villa Hammerschmidt, this author encounter gains an additional dimension: literature meets state history, language meets the public.
