In the city library: readings from murderous to stubborn East Frisians

The Salzgitter City Library is offering a variety of readings from Friday, February 20 to Friday, March 27, 2026.

They are as diverse as the books that are presented and the authors and artists who take their listeners into their world of literature in very different ways.

Stefan Gliwitzki reads on "Ooge"

Author Stefan Gliwitzki will read from his novel "Ooge" on Friday, February 20, at 6:30 p.m. in the city library in Salzgitter-Bad.

The plot:
The small North Sea island of Ooge is haunted by tourists. All of Ooge? Not quite. Some hardcore islanders put up a stubborn and unbending fight. Traveling has become a challenge. The traditional vacation destinations of the Germans are hardly accessible anymore. Entire continents have sealed themselves off or are currently under military occupation. So all that remains is the beauty of their own country. And so they all come to: Ooge.

The author:
Gliwitzki lives in a small town and used to live on the island of Föhr. Thanks to his numerous tours as a musician, he knows almost all the German islands well and is aware of the ambivalent relationship between locals and guests. His penchant for irony is probably innate.

Tickets are available in advance from the municipal libraries in Lebenstedt and Salzgitter-Bad and cost 10 euros in advance and 12 euros at the box office. Contact: 05341 / 839-3434 or emailtadtbibliothekstadt.salzgitterde

The venue is the city library in Lebenstedt. In his program, he combines his outstanding singing voice with his powerful illustrative presentation voice.
