Clara Lösel: The poet from Gießen conquers hearts with debut!

The young poet Clara Lösel is currently inspiring the literary scene with her debut "Woe, you give up". The work, which was presented on April 6, 2025 in a sold-out Darré shoe store in Gießen, landed in 1st place in the Spiegel bestseller list in spring. The 24-year-old author, who was born in Gießen in 1999 and grew up in Linden, took her first steps into the public. She knows exactly how she can captivate her readership. So a rhymed post during the Corona pandemic was the trigger for her first viral success to bring her over a hundred thousand shares.

"Woe, you give up" comprises 101 texts that come directly and unadorned without a frills. It addresses central concerns of our time such as mental health, self -acceptance and social pressure. It is particularly impressive that your texts are not chronologically structured, but are fragmentary to the readers. Clara Lösel himself says she wants to create a space for honesty and vulnerability, especially in an over -information and emotional overwhelming world. Of course, the critics have not failed to point out weaknesses. Some criticize a lack of depth in complex topics and advise you to translate the inspiring thoughts into practical strategies. Nevertheless: Your work is considered an emotional wake -up call, far from a classic guide.

In the podcast, she tells exciting details about her everyday life, which offers an exciting mix of creativity and relaxation. Series such as "Friends" and "How I Met Your Mother" run at home in Berlin. On the weekends she commutes between her parents' house in Linden and her apartment in the capital. She likes to spend her free time to walk with the dog in the forest or to ride a round. She also has a clear favorite when it comes to writing: the university library. After a productive day, she likes to meet friends in the Schwätzer-Café, a home meeting point in Gießen.

She is particularly pleased about the current book premiere in Gießen because she regularly spends time with her family and friends. Her texts have now achieved over ten million reach over a month, which shows that their messages arrive in many people and stimulate thought.
