The Lippe will once again turn a bloody red in 2025 when the popular crime festival "Bloody Lippe" takes place for the fifth time. During the festival, German-language crime writers will travel to locations along the Lippe to transform the region into crime scenes. Their weapons in their luggage are exciting crime novels focused on the region. Lünen will once again be the scene of the (murder) action.
The actress and author Isabella Archan is no stranger to the "Bloody Lippe" region. In Lünen, she is up to mischief under the motto "Crime and Wine" at the LÜKAZ and will be reading from her crime thriller "The Serpent of Sirmione". In 2025, Isabella Archan was awarded the most important German-language crime novel prize, the Glauser Prize of the Syndikat e.V., for the best short crime novel of 2025. As part of the reading, wine expert Bernd Molitor will bring five delicious wines and taste them. "Crime and Wine" - always a murderously enjoyable composition!
