Translators are still often overshadowed by their authors. This is about to change, including at Künstlerhaus Villa Concordia: Gerhard Meier was awarded the Villa Concordia Literary Fellowship of the Free State of Bavaria 2025/26 and has been working from Bamberg since mid-April: villa-concordia.de / biography

He is sometimes referred to as the "Pamuk translator", as he translates the work of Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk and was awarded the Paul Celan Prize in 2014. You can find out why he has grown so fond of the Turkish language on this evening, which will also take place outside in the Villa Concordia garden, weather permitting. Admission via the main entrance on Concordiastrasse. Free admission and a warm welcome!

Please note: Our building, built in the Baroque period, is not barrier-free; there are also steps to the garden.
