Akademie der Künste, Hanseatenweg 10, 10557 Berlin | Free entry

While the great old beech tree that gave this beautiful and traditional festival venue its name rustles its leaves in the summer wind, some of the poets from the Academy of Arts’ literature section will read their poems for us at Buchengarten: Volker Braun, Ann Cotten, Ulrike Draesner, Ursula Krechel, Monika Rinck and Kathrin Schmidt.
