On Tuesday, July 2, 2019, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Campus Center, Lecture Hall II, Felicitas Hoppe will give her public inaugural lecture on the topic "Fairy Tale Realism: Sixes Come Through the World." On the evening of July 3, from 6 to 9 p.m., there will be a public reading on "Adventure - What Is It? Literary world journeys" will take place, also in the Campus Center, Lecture Hall II, framed by film clips from the movie FELICITAS HOPPE SAGT. Both events are free of charge.

On the morning of July 3 (10 a.m. to noon), Hoppe will give the poetics seminar "Life in the Subjunctive: Die kluge Else" for students at the University of Kassel.

The University of Kassel had awarded this year's Grimm Poetics Professorship to writer Felicitas Hoppe. A native of Hameln, Hoppe is the recipient of the 2012 Georg Büchner Prize, among other awards.

The Grimm Poetics Professorship has been awarded annually at the University of Kassel since 1985 and is supported by the Kasseler Sparkasse. Previous holders include Juli Zeh, Rafik Schami and Nobel Prize winner Herta Müller. The Grimm Poetics Professorship is not to be confused with the professorship "The Work and Impact of the Brothers Grimm," held by Kassel Germanist Prof. Dr. Holger Ehrhardt.

Felicitas Hoppe will be available for a press briefing before the event on July 2, 2019, at 3 p.m. at Hotel Renthof.
