Literature
Nobel Prize winners Thomas Mann and Günter Grass have left Lübeck a legacy of literary excellence. But other writers have also left their mark on Lübeck's literary landscape. Reason enough to give the literary guild a place at the HanseKulturFestival. "The Magic Mountain" is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year in the town hall courtyard, join in the celebrations! The written word becomes an experience here.

Speaker's Corner
Fri-Sun, during the day (whenever someone has something to say) - Mengstraße 25
It is this great history that has made Speakers' Corner a global symbol of freedom of expression and the right to speak in public. We're bringing this tradition to Mengstraße 25 at a turbulent time when there's a lot to say, and to help speakers speak more fluently, they'll be served the best English gin and tonic.
The programme will be updated on an ongoing basis.
