How really is Munich? This question is the focus of the summer festival, which would like to invite guests to explore the various facets of the city - be it the cozy, the green or the glittering. From 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., six authors will hold readings. Among them are Daniel Bayerstorfer, Uisenma Borchu, Jan Geiger, Lena Gorelik, Volha Hapeyeva and Elvira Steppacher. The topics treated are diverse and range from the effects of poverty in a wealthy city to queer self -image in urban space and the influence of anti -racist movements on the cityscape.

music and enjoyment in an atmospheric ambience

From 7:30 p.m., the festival is musically framed by "Lucile and the Rakibuam", which with its electronic folk sound provide a relaxed atmosphere. If you want to reinforce the sunshine feeling, you should not forget to bring a picnic ceiling with you. And best of all: entry is free and registration is not required! The Munich City Museum is responsible for the organization and the supporting program with a thematic connection to the interim exhibition "What the City. Perspectives of our city".

Another highlight of the festival could be the particularly versatile Hans Pleschinski. The author, born in Celle in 1956, lives in Munich today and has produced an impressive range of works, including bestsellers such as "Königsallee" and "Wiesenstein". Most recently, his novel "The Flacon" appeared in 2023. Pleschinski, who is also known as a theater and radio maker, makes the Munich soul vibrate with his stories. It is very popular in the literary scene and promises if he should be present to deliver a particularly engaging reading contribution. Further information on Hans Pleschinski and his works can be found on muenchen.de.

A day all about literature, surrounded by a picturesque backdrop, promises to become an unforgettable experience for all Munich and their guests.
