Ursula Krechel is one of the most significant voices in contemporary German-language literature and has been awarded, among others, the German Book Prize and the Georg Büchner Prize. Her work spans fiction, theater, radio drama, and essay, always marked by linguistic precision and historical depth.
At the heart of her writing are questions of memory, exile, violence, feminism, and social responsibility. With novels such as Landgericht and Shanghai fern von wo, she brings the repressed into visibility and opens up new perspectives on German and European history.
For many years, Krechel has combined literary work with public debate. She has taught at international universities, worked as a dramaturg, and remains committed to literature as a place of critical reflection. Her powerful texts combine poetic force with political alertness, analytical and of great social relevance.
The events are public and free. The detailed programme and registration links will follow.
