Literaturhaus Zürich

Literaturhaus Zürich, Literary event venue in Zürich, Switzerland.

Literaturhaus Zürich occupies the building at Limmatquai 62 in the Niederdorf quarter of central Zürich. It holds a belletristic library with books in four languages and two reading rooms stocked with newspapers and magazines. Library and reading rooms are reserved for members of the Museumsgesellschaft Zürich.

The house was established in 1999 from the Museum Society of Zürich and developed into an important center for literature in the city. This growth transformed it into a key institution for the city's literary life.

The name refers to the Museumsgesellschaft Zürich, the museum society that founded the house in 1999 and whose members alone may use the library and the two reading rooms. The public rooms host readings, discussions and workshops; the library holds fiction in four languages.

The Literaturhaus is at Limmatquai 62 in the Niederdorf, in Zürich's city centre, reachable on foot or by public transport. The library and the two reading rooms with newspapers and magazines are reserved for members of the Museumsgesellschaft; the public events are open to visitors.

The house has been publicly subsidised by the city of Zürich since 2002, and the Zürcher Kantonalbank has been its main sponsor since 2000. Its directors have been Richard Reich (1999–2002), Beatrice Stoll (2002–2013), Gesa Schneider (2013–2023) and, since 1 September 2023, Nicola Steiner.
