Wiesbaden Literature Days
The Wiesbaden Literature Days have been held in the Hessian state capital since 1986 and have become a cultural highlight. Czech writer Jaroslav Rudiš is curating the program for the 24th Wiesbadener Literaturtage, which will take place from 24 to 30 September 2025.
The railroad, books and beer: for Jaroslav Rudiš, the curator of the 24th Wiesbadener Literaturtage, these are the three things that hold Central Europe together at its core. The well-known Czech author and musician has therefore designed his festival program as a "common journey" and laid out routes from the past to the present and from the west to the middle to the east of Europe.
Since 1986, the Cultural Office, as the organizer of the Wiesbadener Literaturtage, has facilitated an interdisciplinary exchange that brings renowned personalities to the city every two years. The festival is supported by the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain, among others.
From September 24 to 30, international artists from the fields of literature, film, music and photography will be making guest appearances in the Hessian state capital.
"With Jaroslav Rudiš, we have gained an artistically outstanding tour guide. His work and influence transcends national borders and genres and fits in perfectly with the concept of the Wiesbadener Literaturtage."
Head of Cultural Affairs Dr. Hendrik Schmehl
