The Koeppenhaus in Greifswald houses a literary center that offers a wide variety of events.
The gallery features rotating exhibitions exploring literary themes and a special exhibition dedicated to Wolfgang Koeppen.

In addition to exhibitions, readings, concerts, lectures, and films, there is a literary café.
Koeppenhaus Greifswald – Literary Center in the Birthplace of Wolfgang Koeppen
The Koeppenhaus Greifswald is a unique cultural venue in the Hanseatic city on the East Sea coast of Western Pomerania. The birthplace of the renowned German writer Wolfgang Koeppen (1906–1996) was opened as a literary center in 2002 and has since served as a memorial as well as a vibrant venue for readings, concerts, lectures, and film screenings.

Other attractions in Greifswald
Caspar David Friedrich Center
● Greifswald
The Caspar-David-Friedrich-Zentrum, opened in 2004 in the historic Seifensiederei and expanded in 2011 to include the entire former residential and commercial building of the Friedrich family, commemorates the great painter and greatest son of the city of Greifswald. It is also a museum, documentation and research center. Caspar David Friedrich was born here on September 5, 1774. Visitors can see his father's old soap-making workshop, the family cabinet with the family tree, the Rügen and Eldena rooms with famous motifs from Friedrich's work and the Caspar David Friedrich Gallery. The tour offers comprehensive information on Friedrich's origins, career and creative style as well as on the history of the Friedrich family and their home and business premises, which is also the subject of a long-term research project by the Caspar David Friedrich Society. Changing exhibitions of contemporary art in the Caspar David Friedrich Gallery bear witness to the enduring fascination and impact of Friedrich's work and historical Romanticism. Thanks to its location in the heart of Greifswald's old town, the center is a particularly attractive destination for anyone who wants to follow in the artist's footsteps in his hometown. In the immediate vicinity is St. Nikolai Cathedral, where Caspar David Friedrich was baptized, and it is only a few minutes' walk to the Pomeranian State Museum with its original Friedrich paintings.
