At the Die Zeit-Buchslam, journalists from the Feuilleton editorial team compete against each other and fight for their favourites with wit, passion and strong arguments.

In November, they will host readings and discussions about books over five evenings at the Museum Fünf Kontinente. The events accompany the Münchner Bücherschau (12–29 November 2026), which invites visitors to the Haus der Kunst to immerse themselves in the fascinating variety of books. Large and small publishers present over 20,000 titles – from exciting novels and cookbooks to travel literature, children's and young adult books, audiobooks, art books, non-fiction and specialist books on all fields of knowledge, as well as calendars.
