Meeting point is the city library of Traunstein at the city park.

Linguistic Art in Motion: From Bernhard to Reck-Malleczewen
Those who know Traunstein will discover new narratives on this tour: Schwenkmeier connects precise text passages and biographical sketches of Thomas Bernhard, Johannes Freumbichler, Luise Rinser, Franziska Hager, Sten and Isabella Nadolny, Ludwig Thoma, and Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen. The route leads to places where literature becomes city: to squares, alleys, facades that shine in works and resonate in the listeners' ears.
Narrated Topography: Voices, Places, Atmospheres
The intimate atmosphere arises from proximity and voice: pointed reading passages alternate with knowledgeable comments on genre, style, and cultural context. Thus, city history becomes the stage for literary quality that unfolds while walking: cobblestones, light, sounds – a sensual poetics of place.
