Achim Bogdahn: Between Peaks, Trains, and Surreal Encounters
On October 28, 2026, the Grandhotel Cosmopolis in Augsburg will become a stage for a literary journey through Germany. Achim Bogdahn will read from his book Under the Clouds and connect precise observation with dry humor, surprising encounters, and an energetic reading performance.
A Literary Journey through Germany with a Side Glance
The starting point of the book is an unusual undertaking: Bogdahn climbs the highest mountains of all 16 German federal states. He is accompanied by well-known personalities such as Judith Holofernes, Mehmet Scholl, Rocko Schamoni, and Hans-Joachim Watzke. From the hikes, train rides, and conversations, a multifaceted portrait of contemporary Germany emerges.
From Radio Microphone to Reading Stage
Achim Bogdahn has been working as a radio host at Bavarian Broadcasting for many years and is particularly known for the Zündfunk environment. His experience with voice, rhythm, and pointed storytelling also shapes the reading. Instead of a static reading hour, the audience can expect an immediate author encounter with anecdotes, observations, and surreal stories.
Language Art between Travel Report and Social Portrait
Under the Clouds moves between literary travel report, conversation protocol, and cultural journalistic miniature. Bogdahn is not only interested in elevation meters but in people: their life concepts, peculiarities, and perspectives. It is precisely from these encounters that the text derives its narrative quality and its view of a Germany beyond familiar clichés.
Reading Atmosphere in the Grandhotel Cosmopolis
The Grandhotel Cosmopolis, an extraordinary cultural venue in the Augsburg Cathedral quarter, provides an intimate and cosmopolitan atmosphere for the evening. The author's voice, the interplay of literary reflection and comic punchline, as well as the closeness to the audience, make the event a special literary experience.
Conclusion
Visitors can expect an entertaining, intelligent, and surprising reading with an author who combines travel experience, radio presence, and language art. Anyone wanting to experience Germany from the perspective of its highest and lowest elevations should not miss this author encounter in Augsburg.
