Summary/Abstract: This article examines tasks for creative writing in the German as a foreign language textbooks Berliner Platz 3 NEU and Berliner Platz 4 NEU (CEFR levels B1 and B2). The focus is on the didactic integration of creative writing into a communicative, action-oriented approach and on the systematic progression of task complexity. Using representative examples, the article demonstrates how preparatory phases, task design and project-based work support the development of writing competence while fostering learner autonomy and intercultural awareness. The analysis shows that creative writing in these textbooks is not treated as an isolated skill, but as the outcome of an integrated learning process combining reading, listening, speaking and writing, thereby preparing learners for authentic communicative situations in everyday and professional contexts.
