Science Fiction Reading Under the Dome: A Morning Full of Stars, Fantasy and Augsburg Cultural Feeling
On Sunday, October 11, 2026, a special reading will begin at the Augsburg Planetarium, which impressively connects literature and celestial images. Back to the Future - Out to the Stars brings together Wolfgang Kemmer and Dieter Rieken on a science fiction journey that makes classical and modern narrative worlds experienceable in the special event atmosphere of the dome.

When Literature Opens the View to the Universe
The two authors guide the audience through a diverting time travel through German science fiction literature. Wolfgang Kemmer reads classic texts by Kurd Laßwitz, who is considered the forefather of German science fiction, while Dieter Rieken contrasts this with excerpts from his own modern narrative. This creates a varied event experience between past, present, and future. ([augsburg-city.de](https://www.augsburg-city.de/events/58321-zurueck-in-die-zukunft-hinaus-zu-den-sternen/))
A Space That Enhances Imagination
The Augsburg Planetarium gives this reading a special audience atmosphere: The dome-filling environment, the proximity to science and space travel, as well as the focused setting of the house provide an intense cultural format. The astronomical image content accompanies the reading but will not be explained; a live moderated view of the starry sky is explicitly not part of the program.
