Friedrich Hirschl: Experience poetry and music in the Hudetz Tower!

On October 29, 2025, a reading entitled “A Rest of Blue” will take place in the Hudetz Tower. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. and is organized by the Regensburg Writers' Group International (RSGI) in collaboration with the Hudetz support group. The Passau poet Friedrich Hirschl will read from his volume of poetry, which deals intensively with the observation of the environment and nature.

Hirschl's work is dedicated to the life theme of observing nature. The poet's versatile poems impress with their pointed verse form and haunting metaphors. The reading will be accompanied musically by Heiner Weigert, who plays the clarinet, and RSGI President Stefan Rimek on the double bass. This special combination of poetry and music promises an enriching evening for all literature enthusiasts.

Entrance and ticket options

Admission to the reading is 10 euros. Tickets are available in advance at the Wiesent town hall and can also be reserved online via email via the Wiesent municipality. There will also be an opportunity to purchase tickets at the box office.

Cultural context

Literary events like these are part of a broader promotion of arts and culture, which also includes major festivals. The Poesiefestival Berlin and the International Literature Festival Berlin are two of the largest events that focus on contemporary literature and help to inspire a wide audience for poetry and prose. These festivals are supported by the Capital Culture Fund, which promotes both the exchange between writers and the discovery of new talent.

The Poesiefestival Berlin, founded in 2000, is particularly known for its variety of poetry formats, while the International Literature Festival Berlin has presented a wide range of literary formats, including graphic novels and political non-fiction, since 2001. Both festivals are important contact points for literature fans and contribute to enriching the entire cultural life in Germany.

The upcoming reading by Friedrich Hirschl in the Hudetz Tower is another building block in the valuable artistic landscape, which is characterized by the commitment and collaboration of local institutions and artists.
