Every two years, several writers invited by Oswald Egger come to Hombroich for a joint residency. During their stay, readings and talks introduce their work to the visiting public. The scheme has been taken into its present form by Oswald Egger, based on the Hombroich : Literatur series launched by Thomas Kling in 1995.
