A children's book detective adventure between Göttingen's landmarks and imaginative clue hunting

With »DINGS! and the Gänseliesel Conspiracy«, a clever, cheerful, and vividly illustrated children's reading enters the Literaturhaus Göttingen. During the Gänseliesel Festival, the authors Nicola Schroth and Andreas Zier tell the story of a case in which the famous Hercules statue and Göttingen's Gänseliesel magically swap places. This creates a literary experience for children from about 6 years old, combining excitement, linguistic wit, and local history into a vibrant author encounter.

Literary experience with wit, pace, and imagination

The reading leads into a narrative world that relies on detective work, friendship, and surprising twists. The children's book from the Göttingen Verlag der Kunst combines a dynamic plot with warm, accessible language. Especially in the read-aloud and first-reading age, this mix has a special effect: the audience follows a clue hunt that illuminates familiar Göttingen locations anew.

A case for young literature enthusiasts

The story plays with local symbols and transforms the well-known Gänseliesel into a starting point for imagination and discovery. This connection of urban space, puzzle structure, and child-friendly tension makes the event particularly attractive for families. Additionally, there is the immediate proximity to book culture: the reading offers not only storytelling but also encounters with the authors and illustrator Oliver Gerke.

The audience can look forward to a lively reading, images in their minds, and a narrative logic that takes children seriously while also engaging adults.
