Stars and starlets.

Whether Otto Waalkes, Tim Mälzer or Harald Glööckler, at Frankfurter Buchmesse you'll find many stars.

That was 2018:

Where can you congratulate Otto Waalkes on his 70th birthday and ask Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen for tips on the perfect plan for the second half of your life? Where can you ask the blogger, presenter and actor Riccardo Simonetti about his life in the limelight and experience television presenter Michel Friedmann up close? At Frankfurter Buchmesse, of course! In addition to a large number of top-class authors and publicists, you will also meet many stars from film and television.

Meet the stars.
