wiener wortstaetten is a unique, intercultural author-theatre-project, launched in 2005 by Hans Escher and Bernhard Studlar, which encourages discussion and networking between Austrian and international authors. Centred around authors originating mostly from Eastern Europe who live in Vienna, whose native language is not German but who write in German, an international network should be created over the years to establish an intercultural exchange and a centre for contemporary European drama in Vienna.
