Large number of children, alongside an author, set a global achievement within Merck Stadium
In a remarkable display of international literary interest and multicultural engagement, author Stefan Gemmel set a world record for the most nationalities in an author reading audience during an event held at the Merck Stadium in Darmstadt, Germany.
On Thursday, 26th, over 2,000 children from 74 nations gathered to witness the record-breaking event, surpassing the minimum requirement of 50 nations needed for the certificate. The German Record Institute (RID), similar to the London-based Guinness World Records book, oversaw the record attempt.
The record-breaking event was for an interactive reading of author Stefan Gemmel's new book "The Mummy's Guardian". The children and teachers were asked to pay attention during the reading to ensure the record was set under the right conditions.
The event, organised by Darmstadt-based writers' association PEN-Zentrum Deutschland e.V. ("Poets, Essayists, Novelists") and Leserattenservice GmbH, was an inspiring milestone for cultural diversity and the binding power of the written word.
RID Secretary General Michael Landgraf stated, "This event shows that reading connects - across languages and cultures." The record demonstrates the international impact of literature and reading culture, as children from around the world came together to celebrate the written word.
The event took place in the Lillien Living Room at the Merck Stadium, and was held alongside other notable events in Darmstadt, such as the 75th Heinerfest and the presence of the Bundestag information mobile for three days.
While the exact number of nationalities represented at the event is not currently known, the record-breaking event is a testament to the global reach and power of literature.
