About the Literaturhaus
The Literaturhaus Villa Clementine in Wiesbaden sees itself as more than just a place for recitation and discussion. It aims to whet the appetite for literature and reading with all the senses. It is run by the Wiesbaden Cultural Office.
The Wiesbadener Literaturhaus is a place where authors, translators, editors, publishers, booksellers, media professionals and people interested in literature can meet and work - in writing workshops, readings, lectures or conferences. With the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels - Landesverband Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Saarland e.V. and the Hessischer Literaturrat e.V. on the second floor and with the help of the activities of the Presseclub Wiesbaden e.V. on the first floor of the Villa Clementine, close networking and cooperation between literary professionals is made possible in addition to the exchange of content.
With its programme, the Literaturhaus aims to form a counterpoint to the progressive economization of literature and also to present authors who are not on the bestseller lists. Furthermore, thematic focal points in the program are intended to give readers clues about developments in an almost unmanageable book market.
