Family Event for James Krüss 100th Birthday

May 31, 2026

Advance ticket sales have started!

We are celebrating James Krüss’s 100th birthday and the reopening of the James Krüss Tower with a big family event.

The well-known KiKA presenter Clarissa Corrêa da Silva will host the stage programme, which features music, readings and activities, and she will recite poems by James Krüss herself.

Author Paula Peretti will talk to young and old alike about the life of the author and poet. We also plan to recreate the island of Heligoland, and the world’s longest dog poem is set to be created across the castle courtyard during the course of the afternoon.

The full programme will be published on our website shortly.

Tickets:

Children: €8.00

Adults: €12.00

Tickets are available via MünchenTicket.

Supported by the James Krüss Community of Heirs, the Friends of the International Youth Library Foundation, the Beck Foundation and the Kohlndorfer Foundation.
