The Literaturhaus has been located in the newly constructed building of the Old City Library from 1825 since 2005 – that’s how long the beautiful building on the banks of the Main has been a place of literature.
Picture book afternoons and children’s book readings are held here for children. Listen to stories, lounge on cushions, look at pictures. Sing songs, draw monsters, puzzle along and join in. Rocking, whistling and dancing. All this is available for children from the age of 3 and their parents. For the Children’s Book Sundays, Literaturhaus Frankfurt invites authors, illustrators and children’s songwriters.
Young people aged 12 and over are invited to the “writing room” once a year – here you will learn from professional authors how to find your own writing style. After participating in the “Schreibzimmer”, there is the opportunity to take part in the young authors’ collective “sexyunderground”. Both projects end with a public reading on the large Literaturhaus stage.
Since June 2025, the Junge Literaturhaus has been organizing the annual “Stadt Land Buch” festival for children’s and young adult books in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region.
KUFTI vouchers for events at the Junges Literaturhaus can only be redeemed at public events and only if there is sufficient capacity at the box office. The box office opens 30 minutes before the start of the event.
