Literaturfest Meißen

16th Edition 2025

In June 2025, the 16th edition of the Literaturfest Meißen took place — as always open-air, as always free, as always spread across the historic old town. Over 250 program items, author readings, children's and youth formats, city tours, and theater productions characterized three days.

Thousands of book lovers from Saxony, Germany, and beyond came to experience literature against the backdrop of Albrechtsburg Castle, the Cathedral, and the medieval old town alleys. The festival confirmed its reputation as one of the most important reading festivals in Central Germany.
