The series Homburger Lesezeit is starting a new, now 9th season again this September. This reading series also includes the readings from the "VLV - Vips lesen vor" series, featuring celebrities from the region.
With such a reading of "VLV," the reading season also begins this year. The kickoff takes place on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, with the Saarland Minister of Education Christine Streichert-Clivot. She will read from the book "Marzahn, mon amour" by Katja Oskamp and, as is customary in the "VLV" series, will reflect on what connects her to the book. The first regular reading of the reading season will then follow on Tuesday, September 27, 2022. Then Hannelore Bähr, an actress at the Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern, will read texts from Arno Geiger's bestseller "The Old King in his Exile."

From 2006 to 2009, she was an employee of the SPD Saar and studied adult education through distance learning from 2008 to 2011.
After her time as a scientific advisor, she became head of the minister's office in the Ministry of Education and Culture, followed by head of the department for "Fundamental and cross-sectional issues in education policy." After the state elections in Saarland, she was appointed State Secretary in the Ministry of Education in 2017.
