A poetic summer evening in Alexandrowka

The 9th Night of Poetry brings literature lovers together on August 8, 2026, in the museum garden Alexandrowka in Potsdam. There, lyrical language art meets one of the most atmospherically rich cultural backdrops of the city: the ensemble of the Russian colony Alexandrowka, UNESCO World Heritage, and for years a special place for readings and literary encounters. On the event page of Quintus Verlag, the reading with Ute Apitz is announced for this date; the location is the museum garden Alexandrowka, Russische Kolonie 2.

Literary atmosphere between garden, voice, and audience

A night of poetry thrives on the closeness between text and listener. Especially in the open garden space of Alexandrowka, a reading atmosphere unfolds that does not rely on pathos but on presence: voice, rhythm, pauses, resonance. Ute Apitz, who has published Irjendwat is imma with Quintus, represents a language that connects everyday life, humor, and observational skills. Her work is documented on Literaturport and her own website. ([literaturport.de](https://www.literaturport.de/lexikon/ute-apitz/?utm_source=openai))

A place with history and cultural radiance

Alexandrowka is not just any event location; it is a historically charged space. The museum Alexandrowka describes the facility as barrier-free accessible; the postal address is Russische Kolonie 2 in 14469 Potsdam. Public transportation access is clearly indicated, including the stop Am Schragen served by bus lines 604, 609, and 629. For visitors, this creates an evening that elegantly connects literature, monument preservation, and urban culture.

What makes this poetry evening special

The night of poetry has a tradition in Potsdam. The Literature College Brandenburg and reports from the regional press refer to the format as a stage for contemporary poetry, audience voting, and literary discoveries. For this reason, the 9th edition promises more than just a reading: it will become a literary experience where contemporary literature gains new sharpness in the historical garden space. Those who want to not only read poetic texts but hear and experience them will find the perfect evening here.

Conclusion

The 9th Night of Poetry combines a strong presence of female authors with an extraordinary location and a carefully curated reading atmosphere.
