Gathering Announcement for the 10th Literary Wanderings Day: Solingen Writing Circle and Companions Gather at Hildener Holterhöfchen on 24th August

On August 24th, at 3:00 PM, a Literary Hike is scheduled to take place at the Hildener Holterhofchen in Hilden, North Rhine-Westphalia. This annual event, now in its 10th edition, is a unique cultural-literary experience that brings together authors, readers, and music enthusiasts.

The theme of this year's Literary Hike is "Life and Technology". This timely topic invites participants to explore the profound impact technology has on our lives, society, and the environment. Technology has led to significant advancements in state economies, particularly in Europe and North America, but it also poses challenges and threats to nature. If environmental destruction continues, it could ultimately lead to human extinction.

The event is organized by the Free German Authors' Association / NRW, Freundeskreis Düsseldorf Buch '75 e.V., and the Solingen Authors' Round and Friends. These three groups collaborate to arrange the hike, organize authors, and manage literary presentations or readings along the trail.

Among the authors participating in this year's Literary Hike are Armin Tofahrn, Petra Loeschert, Jan Michaelis, Nini Schlicht, Kay Ganahl, Martina Hoerle, Pascal Herder, Florian Meurer, and Dirk Steinert from Wuppertal. Michael Voelkel from Herne will provide musical accompaniment for the event.

Maria Stalder, the chairperson of the Freundeskreis Düsseldorf Buch '75 e.V., will also be present. The Freundeskreis Düsseldorf Buch '75 e.V. is celebrating its 50th anniversary on September 28th at the Düsseldorf Goethe Museum.

Registration for the Literary Hike is not required, and admission is free. The meeting point is at the corner of Gartenstraße/Holterhofchen, 40725 Hilden, Holterhofchen.

For those seeking more detailed information about the event, such as exact dates, thematic focus for this edition, or a comprehensive list of participating authors, it might be necessary to consult a dedicated event website or contact these organizations directly. Michael Voelkel is a significant figure in the NRW music scene, adding an extra layer of excitement to this cultural event.

Join us on August 24th for a thought-provoking journey through literature, technology, and music. The Literary Hike promises to be an enriching experience for all literature and technology enthusiasts.

  1. After the celebration of their 50th anniversary on September 28th at the Düsseldorf Goethe Museum, the Freundeskreis Düsseldorf Buch '75 e.V. will also be present at the Literary Hike on August 24th, which is discussing the impact of technology on our lifestyle, particularly in the home-and-garden sector.
