Marieke Reimann in Schwerin: An evening about East Germany, memory, and the present
The 31st Schwerin Literature Days bring Second Turn, a politically insightful and literarily precise book, to the city library. Marieke Reimann combines personal experience, journalistic research, and a language that does not smooth over societal fractures but makes them visible.
An evening of readings with attitude and literary sharpness
The author, born in 1987 in Rostock, is one of the prominent voices in German journalism. In her new nonfiction book, she raises questions that extend far beyond East Germany: about just participation, media images, disappointed promises of unity, and the question of what democracy feels like in everyday life.
Between report, analysis, and personal experience
Reimann's strength lies in the connection of observation and contextualization. Her reading promises not a simplistic retrospective but an evening with analytical depth, cultural resonance, and that reading atmosphere that turns an event into a literary experience. The moderation by Sabine Rennefanz adds another journalistic perspective to the evening.
The venue: City library as a place of encounter
The city library in the Schwerin courtyards provides the suitable framework for this author encounter. The location is centrally situated at Klöresgang 3, is established as a public cultural and media space, and stands for tranquility, concentration, and vibrant literary public. Here, a reading unfolds its unique intensity.
What visitors can expect
On October 16, 2026, the audience can expect a political reading in clear language, with social relevance, and a topic that takes a differentiated look at eastern Germany. Those who appreciate contemporary literature, journalistic nonfiction, and cultural-political debates will experience an evening with substance. Early seat reservation is worthwhile, as admission is free, but free tickets are required.
Conclusion: This reading promises insights, conversation material, and an intense encounter with an author who does not shy away from debates. Those who want to experience literature as a space for thought should see Marieke Reimann live in Schwerin.
