Open reading stage in the open air at Magnikirchplatz

With Come read - come listen, the literary scene of Braunschweig returns to a place where language and summer air form a special alliance. On August 8, 2026, the open reading stage within the framework of the Magni Summer Church will open its doors for experienced authors as well as debutants who wish to present their texts to an attentive audience. The event begins at 2:00 PM at the Magnikirchplatz in Braunschweig and is according to the event page free of charge.

Literary encounter instead of stiff stage format

The format thrives on its openness: Anyone who wants to read can register with the moderation from 1:45 PM; the reading time is limited to maximum five minutes. This very concentration gives the afternoon excitement, rhythm, and an almost improvised intensity. The AG Literature of Braunschweigische Landschaft thus creates a stage for linguistic diversity, immediate reactions, and a reading atmosphere that seeks closeness instead of distance.
