Literaturhaus - German Library The Hague
The Stiftung Literaturhaus │ German Library The Hague , founded in 1953 as the German Library , is a literary house in the Dutch city of The Hague that specializes in German-language literature and its translation. The media inventory includes around 7,000 books, DVDs and magazines. Readings by authors, literary and history lectures, film evenings, a summer academy, literary walks and visits to museums and exhibitions are also organized. Various reading cafés and a language café are also offered.
In October 2018, the Literaturhaus was expanded to include a neighborhood library for the residents of the district. The Zeehelden Bibliotheek offers, among other things, German-language literature in Dutch translation as well as books on the history of The Hague.
The Literaturhaus works exclusively with committed volunteers who look after visitors, borrow books and answer questions. The foundation board consists of four members.
