Overview
Käpt'n Book 2025 once again brought two weeks of children's and young adult literature to the southern Rhineland region. 26 partner municipalities, over 100 venues, readings, theatre, cinema, and music — Germany's largest reading festival for young audiences has solidified its position as a regional institution.
The 2025 edition continued the festival tradition, gathering numerous authors of German-language children's and young adult literature in the southern Rhineland once again. With 26 partner municipalities and over 100 venues, Käpt'n Book reached thousands of young readers — many in their own schools or city libraries. The events in Bergisch Gladbach (Villa Zanders, Bergisches Museum) reinforced the city's importance as an outpost of the festival.
