Munich has a house for books and in it a great café for people who want to talk about them. The city is the publishing metropolis in Germany and even Europe. It is nor surprise then that the three floors of the Literaturhaus on the historic Salvatorplatz in the heart of Munich, have been a haven for all things literary.
This is how the Literaturhaus describes itself: A meeting place for book-sippers and page-nibblers, movie-talkers and flaneurs, penny-a-liners and foehn detectives, frugal feasters and starving artists, radar thinkers and daydreamers, portly poets and docile fools, in short: A retreat in the thicket of the city for all who keep an ear out for jingles or simply wish to wait a little longer for Godot.
The Literaturhaus is a hub for public events centered around the book: a meeting point for writers, publishers, book distributors and journalists, an important facility for training employees in the publishing industry, an electronic document pool for contemporary literature. For all who write and read, it is a lively forum that takes up current issues as often as it addresses the fundamental questions raised within the literary and media scenes.
