Marburger Literaturforum

Marburger Literaturforum e.V. is a literary and cultural association based in Marburg, Germany. Its members include literature scholars, booksellers, teachers and students, united by an interest in literature, discussion and exchange with contemporary authors. The association’s central aim is to create opportunities for writers and readers to meet through readings and other literary events.

Events are designed to encourage thoughtful engagement: readings feature an introduction and moderation, followed by discussion. The forum also observes regional literary activity and maintains connections with Marburg’s cultural institutions and people in the literary world. It regularly works with other organisations and associations.

Marburger Literaturforum supports emerging authors in fiction, nonfiction and academic writing. It also seeks to strengthen links between reading audiences, university teaching and the book market, while providing a platform for school projects and literary initiatives. Visitors can follow upcoming events and impressions from past gatherings through the organisation’s website, or subscribe to its newsletter. The association welcomes suggestions for authors and event ideas, potential partners, and people interested in becoming members.
