The situation could hardly be better: the Samtleben bookstore welcomes you to the Literaturhaus Hamburg.

In the store, which has been awarded the German Bookstore Prize 2017 as an "outstanding bookstore", you can expect a wide selection of fiction in particular. In addition to current bestsellers, you will also find many books that are less well known and just waiting to be discovered by you. The Samtleben bookstore focuses on important texts of classical literature, poetry, children's books and picture books. Expert sales assistants are of course ready to help you with advice and assistance, whether you want recommendations or are looking for a beloved book that is out of print.

At home in the Literaturhaus Hamburg, you can combine shopping in the bookshop with, for example, a visit to one of the many events taking place in the white villa or a hot drink at the Literaturhauscafé.
