The European Literature Festival Cologne-Kalk takes place at various locations in Cologne-Kalk in 2026. It is important to us that visitors can find out as early as possible what access conditions, barriers and support options to expect at each venue.
Because the spatial conditions differ from venue to venue, this page provides accessibility information for each location. The information is being checked together with the respective venues and will be continuously updated until the festival. We only use accessibility pictograms where the corresponding access or support has been confirmed.

Questions or support needs?
For us, accessibility means more than a step-free entrance. If you need specific information or support for your festival visit, please feel free to contact us in advance.
We aim to provide information that is as specific as possible about entrances, routes, seating, toilets, sensory environment and other on-site conditions.
At our events, we use the accessibility pictograms of the City of Cologne. The respective symbols are only displayed when the corresponding condition has been confirmed for the venue or event.
This page will be continuously updated until the festival.
