Brief description
The Literary Colloquium Berlin (LCB), founded by Walter Höllerer in 1963, is an event forum and guest house, workplace and talent factory for authors and translators. The LCB enjoys the reputation of an institution of international significance through it’s promotional programs, project initiatives and the magazine “Sprache im technischen Zeitalter” (“Language in the technical age”). Public readings, workshops for authors and translators, and guests from all over the world make the house at the Wannsee a place of vivid literary activity and exchange. Since 1989, exchange with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe constitute a focus of the LCB’s program. Long-term cooperation (et al. Deutschlandfunk (German radio), Goethe Institute, Leipzig Book Fair, Robert Bosch Foundation) guarantee the continuous literary procurement beyond language borders.
