Literature in the Open Air: The Park Readings in Fürth City Park
When the Fürth City Park becomes a resonance space for language, voice, and sound in July, a literary experience of special intimacy is created. The park readings combine nature, contemporary literature, and author encounters into an open reading atmosphere where the spoken word unfolds its own tension amid trees and paths. The evening with Norbert Nagel, Jürgen Heimüller, and the Arenz siblings is scheduled for July 29, 2026; admission is free, starting at 8:00 PM, meeting point at 7:45 PM at the fountain in the city park at the Engelhardstraße entrance.

An Evening of Literature, Music, and Movement
The format carries the charm of immediacy within itself. Instead of a closed stage, visitors can expect a walk with several stations where texts, voices, and musical accents enter into dialogue with each other. It is precisely this open dramaturgy that gives the event a rare blend of calm and concentration, cultural density and summery lightness. The park readings thus belong to the literary formats that not only allow the audience to listen but also to join in.

The City Park as a Poetic Backdrop
The Fürth City Park is itself part of the experience. As a green oasis with a fountain courtyard, rose garden, city park café, playground, and open-air stage atmosphere, it provides the fitting framework for a summer event of this kind. In case of rain, the Resurrection Church is available, ensuring that the event retains its literary core even in variable weather. Getting there is easy via the Fürth main train station; it is about a ten-minute walk from there. There is also a public restroom on-site.

Why This Evening Matters Literarily
Norbert Nagel is known as a versatile saxophonist and clarinetist with works at the intersection of jazz, classical music, and modern concert practice. Jürgen Heimüller works as an actor, speaker, and musician, bringing the stage experience that gives a reading expression and rhythm. Ewald Arenz, in turn, is one of the defining voices of contemporary German-language literature; his books reach large readerships, have won numerous awards, and are closely tied to the Franconian literary landscape. Exactly this constellation promises an evening where the art of language, musical presence, and cultural anchoring come together. ([norbertnagel.com](https://www.norbertnagel.com/bio/))
