Literary Festival

Inaugural Tucholsky Literary Festival

“We want to make memories that sparks!” is a quote from Kurt Tucholsky. It's great that the first Tucholsky Literature Festival is able to bring back such memories!

We would like to thank everyone who contributed: the many guests who attended our events over three days, the authors, all participants and supporters.


And we will do everything we can to ensure that the festival can continue in 2027.

Alfred Wegener Museum

Zwei Männer und zwei Frauen stehen im Korb eines Heißluftballons.

Since 2009 the Alfred Wegener Museum in Zechlinerhütte belongs to our department.
As a child Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) spent his vacations there. He was a "Viking of science" who wanted to discover the secrets of nature with his own observations. He founded the theory of plate tectonics and undertook four trips to the polar region. He died during his great Greenland expedition in 1930.
The museum presents the life of the researcher and raises awareness of questions about climate change.

We stand with Israel

Kurt Tucholsky was of Jewish descent. The museum has been working on Jewish topics for over 30 years, has researched and documented the life of Tucholsky's friend Else Weil, who was murdered in Auschwitz, has been working with the Ernst Ludwig Ehrlich Studienwerk for years, initiated the laying of stumbling blocks in Rheinsberg and much more – a clear commitment to the right to exist of Jews and the State of Israel is important to us as part of our own cultural identity.
