Literatur at the Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta

byAngelika Otte
Readers in the library

As the days grow shorter and reading season begins, we invite you to celebrate Literaturmonat with us this September at the Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta.

Throughout the month, we will explore books and authors from the German-speaking countries and regions of Europe, exploring German(-speaking) experiences from diverse angles. Whether you are a lifelong reader, a German language learner, or simply curious about new perspectives, Literaturmonat offers an opportunity to discover stories that have shaped cultures, challenged ideas, and left an imprint on generations.

Our literary programming also complements our German Week celebrations and serves as a bridge to German-American Heritage Month in October.

Join us for engaging discussions, special events, and literary experiences that bring the richness of German-language literature to life. We look forward to sharing a month filled with stories, conversation, and cultural discovery.

KULTUR ENSEMBLE

FRANCO-GERMAN CULTURAL CENTER

As an independent local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta continues the legacy of the former Goethe-Institut Atlanta (1976–2007). Altogether, we have served the community across Atlanta and the Southeastern United States through language, culture, outreach and cultural programs for 50 years. For many of these years, we have shared office space with Alliance Française d'Atlanta, an Atlanta institution since 1912.

In 2023, together we officially became KULTUR ENSEMBLE!

One of only nine such organizations worldwide, and the only one in North America.

In partnership with the Alliance Française d’Atlanta, we offer joint cultural events, heritage programming, a framework for European cultural events, and immersive experiences for all.
