Fellowship Literature 2026 Form EN – Künstler:innenhaus Lauenburg

International Residency Fellowship Literature 2026

Expectations towards the literature fellows
The fellowship is aimed at authors who publish in German language.

We assume that the vast majority of the fellowship will be spent in Lauenburg, which means a minimum of 50 %.

During their stay at the Künstler:innenhaus, the fellows are expected to have a final solo presentation and an artist talk, as well as a joint first presentation (one-day-format) and finissage. For the first and the final presentation, the fellows receive currently a total expense allowance of 300€ .

We are pleased about an artistic work gift for the collection of Künstler:innenhaus Stadtgalerie Lauenburg (responsible association: Künstlerhaus Lauenburg e.V.). However, this is a voluntary decision.
But a DIN A4 report on the fellowship at Künstler:innenhaus Lauenburg for the state of Schleswig-Holstein is obligatory.

Curated group exhibition with a selection of works by the fellowship applicants in the Stadtgalerie Künstler:innenhaus Lauenburg
The Künstler:innenhaus Lauenburg would like to give more visibility and participation to a larger number of artists, writers and composers, as well as appreciate the effort they put into the application process.
The number of applicants for the 4 fellowship places grow every year, but Künstler:innenhaus Lauenburg is currently unable to offer more fellowships. That’s why we introduced a new format in 2024: a group presentation with selected works by applicants under changing curatorial direction.
In addition, the group presentation can reflect the impressive range of diversity of the applications, which reflects the diverse composition of our society in terms of geographical, ethnic or cultural origin, age, gender, sexual identity, world view, inclusion of people with disabilities or family situations.
All participating artists (approx. 10) will receive an exhibition fee.
At the end of the application form, you must indicate whether or not you wish to participate in the group exhibition. However, this does not constitute a guarantee of participation.
The group exhibition (in the spring of the fellowship year) shows a selection of artworks/contributions from all admitted applications of all three fellowship categories (residency and work fellowship). The selection is made according to curatorial decisions and is not justified. Participation in the exhibition does not constitute an entitlement to funding; the fellowship holders are selected and exhibited independently of this. Participants in the exhibition who have not received a fellowship may reapply.

Applications and selection procedure
Incomplete applications or applications that do not comply with the specifications will not be considered. Applications without payment of the processing fee of 10.00 € are also excluded.
