Loud NDR The author Grit Poppe will read from her novel “Weggesperrt” on Wednesday evening at the Grenzhus in Schlagsdorf. This reading will be the only event of the canceled cultural week.
The cancellations follow the city of Klütz's controversial decision to exclude the journalist Michel Friedman from taking part in next year's culture week.

The former director of the Literaturhaus Oliver Hintz will moderate a discussion in Lübeck, which will cause additional excitement.
Culture in the public eye
