For the 5^th time now vielSeitig. European Literature Festival Siegen is creating space for books in the Kulturhaus Lÿz as well as in cafés and pubs in Siegen’s city, providing opportunities for encounters, dialogue and understanding. In times of thriving nationalism and protectionism the unifying power of stories, tales and language is gaining more and more importance.

                  

Meet the people and their stories, discuss with the authors about what they have got to tell, or simply enjoy an aromatic cup of coffee or a cool beer in the company of a good book.
