City walk on the trail of Kleist

Hardly any other personality is so closely connected to Frankfurt an der Oder as Heinrich von Kleist. The poet, who with his works like "Das Käthchen von Heilbronn", "Der zerbrochne Krug" or "Michael Kohlhaas" is one of the most important German-speaking playwrights, was born here in 1777. A walk on the Kleist route through the former Hanseatic city is an exciting search for clues and leads to places that are still central to the cultural life of the city on the Oder. These include, for example, the Kleist Forum or the Kleist Park. If you want, you can also make a detour to neighboring Słubice on the Polish side.
