Congratulations to Miljenko Jergović, winner of the 2026 Leipzig Book Award for European Understanding.
This year’s Leipzig Book Fair motto, “Donau”, captures how deeply Europe is connected along the river’s route from the Black Forest to the Black Sea. The history of Central and Eastern Europe has unfolded along this river and is inseparable from the region’s cultural diversity. #LBM26

Today, in Jänschwalde, Germany, a giant relic of coal mining history was brought down in a dramatic controlled blast, collapsing in seconds amid thunderous detonations and towering clouds of dust. The steel colossus fell like a dying titan, marking the upcoming end of the fossil era!
