Weltempfang - Centre for Politics, Literature and Translation: the name ("hosting the world") says it all
In the Weltempfang 2012, there were readings and discussion events with international authors, intellectuals and translators.
Weltempfang, located in hall 5.0, includes:
- a large stage for events with a big public appeal
- a Salon for special interest discussions and literary encounters
The section is rounded off with a café area to be used for further discussion, as somewhere to arrange to meet, or just for relaxation.
