Max Goldt brings linguistic art, satire, and fine poetry to the stage at the Old Maltery
On April 16, 2026, Max Goldt will perform at the cultural center Alte Mälzerei in Regensburg and read from his new book Aber?. The evening promises that rare mixture of literary precision, subtle humor, and intellectual sharpness for which Goldt has been appreciated for decades. The reading begins at 8:00 PM and is expected to end around 10:30 PM; doors open at 7:00 PM.
An author who brightens everyday language
Max Goldt is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary German literature. For over 35 years, he has been working on short, comedic, humorous, and satirical texts that sharpen the view on everyday routines, language habits, and cultural peculiarities. His current book Aber? continues this line: elegant prose miniatures, precise observations, and a bright moral intelligence form a program that shifts between literature, columns, and pointed time diagnosis.
Reading atmosphere at the Alte Mälzerei
The Alte Mälzerei is one of the familiar cultural venues in the city of Regensburg and provides the right setting for an author encounter like this. The space combines closeness and concentration, which particularly suits a reading by Max Goldt. His voice unfolds its effect precisely where the audience and text meet without distance. Thus, a literary experience is created that does not rely on volume but on awareness of form, rhythm, and pointed linguistic art.
Why this evening is literarily exciting
Goldt does not just read texts; he prepares attention. Those who know his works are aware of the precise balance of irony, observation, and cultural commentary. Those experiencing him for the first time will discover an author who does not minimize the comedy of everyday life but refines it. The reading in Regensburg is aimed at anyone who reads contemporary literature as both a space for thought and entertainment.
