Festival of the German Language

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The festival of the German language was brought into being in 2006 by the chamber singer Edda Moser . She is the artistic director of the festival to this day. The Ursula Lübbe Foundation and the Bastei Lübbe publishing group are co-founders and co-organizers of the festival, which takes place once a year and is financed by sponsors.

Chamber singer Edda Moser is particularly interested in showing and preserving the mother tongue in its diversity and beauty. It found approval in politics, among cultural workers and representatives of the economy. In the meantime, the Festival of the German Language occupies an important place in a debate on changes in the German language that has been going on for years.

The kick-off event took place on October 6, 2006 at Heidecksburg; The Goethe Theater Bad Lauchstädt has been the venue since 2007 . Lübbe Audio documents the events on audio books. So far, 8 audio books have been published in the festival edition. Bastei-Lübbe provides the entire net proceeds to the Festival of the German Language and the Goethe Theater Bad Lauchstädt for the maintenance of the historical theater building. This is possible because all contributors and the publishers who grant rights waive a separate fee for the audio book recording. The patron is the Prime Minister of Saxony-Anhalt . The MDR records the events.
