Karl May Festival

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In honor of the writer Karl May, three events in German-speaking countries and the Winnetou Convention in Croatia are designated as the Karl May Festival :

The “Karl May Festival” from the Karl May Collection and Karl May Archive

The Karl May Festival has been an annual event since 1992 with a focus on the subject of "Karl May in the film" and a changing location. Most of the time, however, it takes place in Bad Segeberg in Schleswig-Holstein . At the Karl May Festival, the so-called Scharlih is presented, an award associated with the name Karl May. The organizer is the Karl May Collection in Hamburg , which works closely with the Göttingen Karl May Archive . There are events and lectures at the festival, as well as a flea market with articles (mostly about the films and their music) around Karl May. The festival is one of the few opportunities to see stars and starlets from the Karl May film era 1960s meet.
