Marzahn-Hellersdorf Reading Festival
When the days grow shorter and autumn arrives, it's story time in Berlin. The reading festival ‘Zwischen Blättern & Buchseiten’ (Between Leaves & Book Pages) invites you on a literary journey through the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district – with exciting readings, extraordinary locations and a varied programme for young and old alike.
From up-and-coming young authors to Spiegel best-selling voices – new perspectives, moving stories and unforgettable encounters await you here.
Whether in the old windmill, high up in the Panorama Café, between castle walls or in the cosy clay house: every reading makes literature a special experience.
