Literature in the Hans Werner Richter House

This small building with the red double doors is more than 100 years old. In 2000, the former fire station was converted into a house of literature in honor of the German writer Hans Werner Richter. Ever heard of him? He was an author, writer and initiator of the writers' association "Group 47". What do you mean? Why was the House of Literature built here in Bansin? It's actually quite simple: Hans Werner Richter was born on the island of Usedom, more precisely in Neu Sallenthin. Today you can visit the writer's study and library and sit there with a book in your hand. The works of another famous personality are also waiting to be discovered - the original graphics by Günter Grass. If you would like to have something read to you, you can attend a reading in this “Günter Grass room”.

The Literaturhaus Hans Werner Richter is located in the Waldstraße, next to the Warmbad in Bansin.
