SEITENSPRÜNGE Openair

The 2025 edition established the concept: booksellers become hosts, debut authors meet the Hamburg summer audience, and an actress reads from current works. The Music Pavilion, with its open wooden stage and the meadow in front, provided the fitting setting.

With this format, KURT HEYMANN Buchzentrum GmbH proved that reading evenings don't have to take place in closed bookstore spaces. The open-air character attracted an audience not often found at classic reading events.
