In 2015, it marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the genocide against the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. On the death marches to the Syrian desert, about two-thirds of the Armenian population there perished in 1915 / 1916 (according to various estimates, up to 1.5 million people). The German-Armenian Society aims to commemorate this genocide with the photo exhibition and appeal to the historical memory of all people.

The exhibition includes impressive photographs of the tragic events (including from the estate of Armin T. Wegner) and testimonies of the destruction of Armenian cultural heritage. It is complemented by eyewitness accounts of the events of that time, such as those from Dr. Johannes Lepsius, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Fridtjof Nansen, the ambassadors Hans von Wangenheim and Henry Morgenthau, Armenian deportees and forcibly assimilated individuals.

Tue-Fri: 10-13 and 14-17 hours Sat+Sun: 11-17 hours

The permanent exhibition on the life and work of Erich Maria Remarque offers a detailed look into the life, work, and thoughts of the famous writer through numerous photographs, documents, and manuscripts. The exhibition is bilingual, presented in German and English throughout.

Divided into seven sections covering his youth in Osnabrück (1898–1921), the years in Hanover and Berlin (1922–1928), the discussion around All Quiet on the Western Front (1928–1930), his exile in Europe (1931–1939) and the USA (1939–1948), his political works in the 1950s, and the 1960s leading up to his death on September 25, 1970 in Locarno, the exhibition attempts to highlight the ruptures, contradictions, and controversies in Remarque's life while emphasizing their productivity for his work. It illustrates Remarque's numerous psychological conflicts, aiming to resolve the apparent contradiction between the "bon vivant" and the "militant pacifist," and provides insight into his acquaintances, friendships, and marriages. Numerous originals such as the death mask or Remarque's original desk complement the presentation.

Another focus of the exhibition is the worldwide, often highly controversial reception of Remarque's works, which have been translated into at least 60 languages and continue to attract a global audience of millions.

An information terminal allows visitors to delve deeper into specific questions about Remarque's life and work. Another terminal provides access to over 2,000 photographs spanning all stages of Remarque's life, his residences, contacts, and the film adaptations of his works.

The exhibition is open for free visits on Tuesdays to Fridays from 10 am to 1 pm and from 3 pm to 5 pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm. Guided tours for school classes and other interest groups can also be arranged outside regular opening hours. Tours can be scheduled with Mr. Martin Siemsen (siemsen.m@osnabrueck.de) by phone at 0541/323-2109 or fax at 0541/323-4355.

Musical theater for ages 3 and up

Animals speak. They chatter, meow, buzz, scratch, scuffle, croak, roar – sometimes more, sometimes less understandably. Maybe they can also talk or even sing and therefore understand each other?

With fun, nonsense, and interesting facts, actor Peter Markhoff and stage musician Uwe Schade delve deeper into the languages of animals.
Can their language be understood through music? Do we find their language in familiar animal songs? We will explore this and discover simple yet astonishing things…

DIE GROSSE HEINZ-ERHARDT-SHOW
The musical about the unforgettable rascal on a grand tour of Germany

“Take yourself lightly – then you spare others the work!” (Heinz Erhardt)

He once said he had “the imp on his back,” the humorist, actor, composer, cabaret artist, and poet Erhardt. He was and still is the uncrowned king of German humor, the great master of jests and delightful wordplay. Unforgettable and unmatched!

The world premiere of the first Heinz Erhardt musical was celebrated in November 2017 in Hamburg. Among the guests were the daughters and granddaughter of the clumsy humorist with the horn-rimmed glasses, who expressed their compliments to the ensemble for the musical. Initially planned only as a guest performance, the Erhardt musical delighted so much that it has become a permanent feature in its home theater, the traditional Hamburg Engelsaal. Now the successful ensemble is touring Germany for the first time.

In the well-structured two-hour program (including a break), the performers Stefan Linker (Heinz Erhardt impersonator), Ralf Steltner, and Karin Westfal engage in a real exchange of banter and recite one Heinz Erhardt poem after another. They are accompanied by piano, saxophone, and drums. Captivating melodies to humorous texts, intertwined with the life story of the greatest German comedian, promise a good mix of spoken and sung texts. These are presented partly individually, partly in duet or trio. The most beautiful poems and ballads of the pun genius, many of which have been set to music for the first time, are skillfully combined and staged in one flow. Whether Knight Fips or King Erl, whether maggot or cow, even the sour lemons and the G-sketch are presented at their best.

The audience is treated to a fireworks display of wordplay, a musical full of comedic memories of the quirky exceptional humorist. Let yourself be transported into the world of Heinz Erhardt; you won’t be able to stop laughing. We promise!

Tickets available at all advance booking offices starting from € 35

Press comments:
“A delightful homage to the comedian and his unique humor.” (Hamburger Morgenpost)

“A night full of poems, wordplays, and jests. The audience squeals with laughter.” (Hamburger Abendblatt)

“Heinz Erhardt’s texts sung and recited with great passion – a truly successful evening.” (NDR 90.3)

In room 701, the most diverse couples meet. A man wants to learn how to strip from a professional to win back his wife. An abandoned chambermaid prefers to toast the new year with a randomly appearing celebrity photographer, rather than jump from the seventh floor. An intoxicated boss plays a malicious game with a new employee. A bride is confronted with her groom's homosexual tendencies on their wedding night. In the anonymity of the room, the secrets and desires of its temporary occupants become all the more apparent.

Based on the children's book classic by Leo Lionni

The artisans tell perhaps the most famous story since there have been dreamers, using colors, sounds, words, light, and shadow. Instead of working hard day and night like the other mice to hoard food for the winter, Frederick gathers sunlight, colors, sounds, and words. These are his supplies for the gray days. As the long winter weighs more and more on the spirits of the mice, Frederick can surprise them in his own special way and thus warm their hearts.

„For some, twenty square meters may seem small. For me, it's impossible to fill this space. I have a table where I can write and a mattress. I do not have a wardrobe. Everything I own has been in my black bag for a decade. I have an apartment, but no home.

I am no longer a street kid. My story has moved on. With my departure to a new apartment came a breakthrough. Suddenly, no longer on the street, but a Spiegel bestseller author. Doors have opened for me, many into a completely new world.

I can't forget where I come from. I carry survival debt with me. I keep thinking that could be me, when I see the people who are still on the street. I thought I wouldn’t live to see 30. Look at what today is.“

In compelling, striking language, Dominik Bloh recounts how his life has changed since his bestseller "Unter Palmen aus Stahl". How difficult it is to find one’s feet again in “normal” life after years of homelessness. How it feels to live in two worlds – the new one as no longer homeless, with a shower and privacy... and the old street life, which is still there, in his head, but also in the harsh reality of many thousands of people who are homeless in Germany.
Dominik does not stop at his own story. He opens the audience's eyes to the parallel universe that exists right under their noses but is usually not acknowledged. And without complaint or denunciation, he makes clear what needs to happen to truly bring about change.

Bio:
Dominik Bloh, born in 1988, ended up on the streets of Hamburg at 16 when his mother threw him out. He continued going to school, graduated from high school, and no one noticed anything. After almost 11 years as a street kid, he now has a small apartment in Hamburg and has become a father. His book about his time on the street, "Unter Palmen aus Stahl", was a Spiegel bestseller.

Bloh initiated, among others, the project "GoBanyo", a shower bus for the homeless, and received the Federal Cross of Merit for his commitment. Today, he advises politicians and is involved in the national action plan against homelessness to achieve the German government’s goal of overcoming the housing crisis in Germany.

Comedy and Fitna

'ACHTE JETZT!' is Abdul Kader Chahin's first full-length solo show and it's packed with a punch: Here you'll find real talk from Duisburg Marxloh and the silliness of a thirty-year-old who still believes in dinosaurs. Chahin sets fire like no other: His community on Instagram celebrates him for his provocative comedy videos. Well, at least when he's not being reported by a bunch of Nazis again. One thing is clear: Chahin tells stories from the high-rise building. And what may sound funny to the audience suddenly becomes serious; that's probably Abdi's strength: You never know whether you'll be laughing out of joy or desperation because of the next sentence.
Friend and comedy colleague Malte Küppers is joining in. Coming from Duisburg as well, Küppers brings the best stories from his life as a social worker in the hotspot to the stage. So, for anyone wanting to learn about the state of this society, you don't have to attend a lecture, just grab a ticket for 'ACHTE JETZT!'. It's definitely much funnier.

"Abdul represents a mixture on stage like I've never seen before: 50% comedy, 50% real talk - 100% freak." Jean-Philippe Kindler

Theater play by Jochen Cavallo and Patrick Schefczik

In a small hotel, everyone is searching. The owners are looking for salvation from bankruptcy. A gangster is looking for long-hidden loot. A detective is searching for crimes. A therapist is seeking access to his patient. An influencer is looking for a breakthrough. A director and his film crew are in search of a comeback. Who will find what he is looking for, and who will be disappointed?

Butterwegge Solo could also be called a "musical chatter reading". Naturally, there is music, primarily from his own pen, but there are also occasional borrowed influences from others, preferably German-speaking artists.

The Ruhrpott original tells stories from tour buses, from the bar, from detox cells, about intoxication and punk rock, and plays selected songs from 5 albums so far. The latest work "Everyone is Losing It" reached number 21 on the German album charts.

A boozy, sometimes trivial, but also intelligently serious evening, filled with a generous portion of self-mockery, each time surprising, intimate, and very honest.

“I think Butterwegge is really good” - Campino -
“Butterwegge is one of the leading voices in the German punk rock scene” - BlattTurbo
