Loneliness in the Paulinerkirche: An Evening about the Great Feeling of Our Time

When Maike Luhmann speaks in the Paulinerkirche, a scientific lecture transforms into a finely balanced stage experience. On October 2, 2026, profound loneliness research meets the special theater atmosphere of the old church in Göttingen - a space that not only allows silence but makes it palpable.

A Topic that Touches Directly

The event delves into an experience that many know yet rarely discuss openly: Loneliness as a societal challenge, as a psychological phenomenon, and as a question of encounter. Maike Luhmann, one of the most prominent voices in loneliness research, opens the view on the causes, consequences, and possible ways out of isolation with Berthold Vogel.

Science as a Living Cultural Event

Especially within the framework of the Göttingen Literature Autumn, the evening gains a special dramatic tension. The Paulinerkirche serves not just as a venue, but as a resonance space for thoughts that resonate. The audience experiences not a dry lecture but a concentrated form of live communication, where language, space, and silence become a dense staging.

The Place Enhances the Effect

The Paulinerkirche in the Lower Saxony State and University Library is among the most impressive cultural venues in Göttingen. Its historic character, tranquil location in the city center, and special acoustics give the evening a festive yet open atmosphere. Those who take a seat here experience science in an environment that focuses attention and gives space to thoughts.

Why This Evening is Important

Loneliness is no longer a marginal topic. It touches on questions of health, social cohesion, aging, youth, and digitalization. The strength of this evening lies in exactly this: It combines empathy with insight, present relevance with clear analysis, and makes visible why encounter is one of the most precious experiences of our time.

For those seeking culture that not only entertains but also stirs something within, this evening resonates. Loneliness in the Paulinerkirche invites attendees to listen, reflect, and be touched live by a strong topic.
