Conferences

Academic conferences on the life and work of Hans Fallada have been held since 1993. Literary scholars from various countries present papers on the conference topics and discuss them. The events are jointly organised by the Hans Fallada Society, the Literaturzentrum Neubrandenburg e. V. and various associations, universities and institutions.

The first two conferences were held in Greifswald. Since 2002, the venue has been the Hans Fallada House in Carwitz.
