Hesse: A Land of Readers

When fall is at its most beautiful, Leseland Hessen invites literature lovers to Kassel. This statewide literary festival brings renowned authors, exciting debuts, and extraordinary stories to the city of documenta. Look forward to inspiring readings, personal conversations, and literary encounters at special venues throughout Kassel.

Whether it’s a moving novel, a gripping mystery, current nonfiction, or an entertaining children’s book—the diverse program offers the right event for every age group and every reading taste. The personal encounters with authors and the opportunity to learn more about the background of their works make every visit to the festival a special experience.

Once again this year, the Literaturhaus Kassel is participating in the Hesse-wide literature festival. Five female authors and one male author have been invited to present their latest novels.
