On literary trails through Fürth: This city tour brings stories to life
The literature tour "literally Fürth" takes place on June 18, 2026, on a walk through a city that has not only been built but also described, interpreted, and narrated. Between the birthplace of Leopold Ullstein and the traces of other Fürth writers, a literary experience unfolds that connects city history, the art of language, and cultural memory.
Where Fürth becomes a city of literature
The focus of the tour is on authors who have shaped Fürth or have been shaped by the city. The tour pays tribute to Ewald Arenz, the Fürth culture award winner, to Jakob Wassermann, probably the most famous writer of the city, as well as to Bernhard Kellermann and the Ullstein publishing family. This creates a panorama of German literary and publishing history that goes beyond mere biographies and influences the urban space.
Between biography, work, and urban space
Particularly appealing is the connection between place and text. Those who join will encounter not abstract names but concrete locations of literary memory. Fürth's streets and addresses become carriers of narratives that tell of origin, identity, exile, publishing tradition, and cultural awakening. This is precisely where the strength of this outdoor reading atmosphere lies: The city itself becomes an archive.
A walk with cultural depth
The event is aimed at literature enthusiasts, city explorers, and anyone who wants to experience Fürth beyond well-known paths. The tour offers background knowledge, historical context, and a sensory approach to the local literary scene. By connecting culture, education, and urban space, a format emerges that is as informative as it is inspiring.
Conclusion: An appointment for all who want to not just read literature, but experience it
The literature tour "literally Fürth" promises an insightful, atmospheric look at the literary history of the city. Anyone wanting to rediscover Fürth as a place of books, biographies, and publishing should experience this walk live and allow themselves to be taken in by the special closeness between text and place.
