The tour on August 2, 2026, takes visitors into a world of gossip waves, tunnel trolls, blue bears, and dread monsters – a literary journey between comic, satire, and fantasy.

A Walk Through a Rich Body of Work

Walter Moers is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary German literature. His books combine adventure novels, parody, art history, and pop culture into a unique cosmos. The exhibition at the Erlangen City Museum showcases this linguistic art not only in texts but also in ink drawings, figures, and models that make Zamonien visible.

Between Comic, Novel, and Cultural Memory

The tour connects Moers' early, provocative comic works with his later literary fantasy world. Those who understand the cultural spectrum of his works quickly realize: This is not merely about entertainment, but about a precisely composed mixture of satire, imagery, and literary quality. Particularly impressive is the focus on The City of Dreaming Books, Ensel and Krete, and Qwert, which underline Moers' stature as an author and illustrator.

The reading atmosphere replaces a classic museum distance with closeness to the art. The limited number of participants ensures a concentrated, almost intimate format. Those who engage with Moers' work experience a tour that is as informative as it is inspiring. The exhibition is aimed at people aged 16 and older and makes the narrative richness of this fantasy world immediately tangible.
