a look into the past

Günter Grass, who was born in Danzig on October 16, 1927, is considered one of the most important writers in the German post -war writer. His best -known work, "The Blechtrommel", appeared in 1959 and brought him through the breakthrough and ultimately the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999. With his provocative language, he impressively brought up political and social issues and was an active commentator in the current events until his death. Grass lived in Lübeck until his death in April 2015, where his final resting place lies.

The reopening is not only a festival for the literature, but also for the city of Lübeck, which is proud to have such a significant cultural institution in its walls.
