Eifel Literatur Festival - Herfried Münkler - Macht im Umbruch

Author reading

Herfried Münkler, born in 1951, was a long-standing professor of political science at Berlin’s Humboldt University. He is one of Germany's most successful political explainers and an indispensable, formative voice in today's debates. Many of his books are considered standard works, such as “Empires” (2005), “The Germans and Their Myths” (2008), “The Great War” (2013), or “The New Germans” (with Marina Münkler, 2016), all of which are bestsellers.

Most recently, the SPIEGEL bestseller “Power in Transition” was published (2025). It is a profound, groundbreaking analysis that shows how Germany's role can and must be rethought if Europe wishes to assert itself in the 21st century amidst the great powers. “Rarely has a non-fiction book perfectly captured, reflected, and analyzed a state of mind like 'Power in Transition,'” stated the daily newspaper “taz.”
