Playing, laughing, being loud, romping, doing nothing – and that in an exhibition house! From September 4, 2024, BAUBAU invites exactly that. In the play space for children designed by artist Kerstin Brätsch, more is allowed than forbidden. Colorful wallpapers, structures, objects, and a range of “Loose Parts” form spaces on the ground floor of the Gropius Bau that do not impose fixed guidelines but are determined by the activities of the children. They dictate the direction and form of what happens here. Thus, this place becomes a space of possibilities that can change day by day.

BAUBAU will launch in September 2024 in a prototype version and will continue to develop and grow over the coming years both inside and outside the Gropius Bau – in close exchange with the children and their wishes, as this is their place.

The Play
All children have the urge to play. This is how they learn to understand themselves and the world. Especially open, self-determined play is of great significance for emotional and social development. The educational concept for BAUBAU is therefore based on the principles of free play: Here, there is time, space, and permission for children to follow their own needs and interests. They are accompanied by playworkers – trained staff who create a safe and supportive environment where children can play freely.

 
The Art
BAUBAU playfully questions what a museum or an art institution should be. The comprehensive spatial design developed by Kerstin Brätsch is full of references and inspirations: elements from her previous works, such as marbling, paintings, or stucco marble work, reappear here in altered forms and materialities. The wallpapers, curtains, fabrics, seating furniture, and climbing structures are inhabited by dinosaurs, fantastical beings, termite mounds, and abstract elements. With their strange, funny, and perhaps a bit eerie shapes, they create an open framework for free play.

Kerstin Brätsch's practice is designed to allow and incorporate influences from outside. While she has previously collaborated with artists or artisans, she now does so in a completely different way with children: She invites the children to reshape and further develop the space according to their own ideas and visions, without the influence of the artist in unpredictable ways.

For Markus Söder and Hubert Aiwanger, it is clear: Newspapers, radio, and television stations reach many people in Bavaria, but they can only be caught directly and unfiltered on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. After Markus Söder's accounts were shut down due to undisclosed advertising for Nürnberger Rostbratwürste, it is clear: Bavaria needs its own Facebook, where the Bavarian homeland and its traditions are celebrated and air supremacy over the local pubs is reclaimed.
But where can an entrepreneur be found to finance this?

In the small town of Untergamskobenzeißgrubengernhaferlverdimmering, there is a mayor with excellent international connections:

Schorsch Scheberl.

Together with a Müesli oligarch from Allgäu, who now lives in Switzerland, he is founding his own social media platform called: Prost!

Bayern liebt DICH! Is a current Bavarian cabaret solo with messages and ambassadors surrounding the media circus by and with Wolfgang Krebs, who, as always, stands alone on stage, playing many different roles.
Coming soon to all Bavarian cabaret stages.

Original? Copy? Truth? Fake? If you no longer know what is going on here, let alone by whom, then you are in the middle of the new program by Daniel Helfrich: "Ich hab mir gerade noch gefehlt". He parodies himself in a strikingly authentic way and even visually creates the impression of being Daniel Helfrich. A witty pseudo-tribute show from the master of sophisticated nonsense. Sounds funny? It is! Daniel Helfrich probably had a clone for breakfast. A game of confusion with socio-critical songs about love, instincts, horsewomen, impatience, football experts, artificial intelligence, and "know-it-alls". Cheers, double the fun, and a high-level quirky homage to the multiple personality in all of us... A narcissistic program against narcissism, a musically captivating evening with double the laughter guarantee, where everyone will realize: "Ich hab mir gerade noch gefehlt".

One of the trademarks of KEIMZEIT: Norbert Leisegang's unmistakable voice. Since the beginning of the band's history, Norbert and his brother Hartmut Leisegang (bass) have been on the KEIMZEIT stage.

The shows of Alex im Westerland have firmly established themselves in our program in recent years and always offer escalation potential. Full house! Great atmosphere! And one song after another to sing along to!

Make sure to grab your tickets quickly for this event if you want to be there. They sell out like hot cakes!

There are many tribute bands to Die Ärzte, just like there are cover bands for "Die Toten Hosen." However, there are hardly any groups that exclusively play the best songs from both bands. "Alex im Westerland" belongs to this rare species: Their stage program consists 100 percent of the biggest hits from these two punk rock stalwarts from Germany. The Frankfurt band excels at bringing the atmosphere to a boil and places great importance on involving the audience: The public becomes a fixed part of the show. "Unrockbar" guaranteed no one remains! Despite all the party suitability, another focus of the four experienced musicians is also on a musically demanding and sonically authentic performance. This includes typical multi-part harmonies of Die Ärzte, typical guitar solos of Die Toten Hosen, or even an acoustic guitar solo. Whether in the club, at open-air festivals, at city festivals, or private parties: The band consistently succeeds in ensuring that both music lovers and party enthusiasts from young to not so young have a great time. Until "Alles unter Strom" is in full swing!

PARKING in Wörsdorf is becoming more of a problem! Please adhere to the signage and do not block driveways!
There are large parking lots in front of the supermarkets at the entrance to Idstein and Walsdorf, and then you can walk the rest of the way!
Not far away is the Pender parking lot P1 at Wermutsgraben, above the train stop; then, through the small underpass or staying on the road downhill, you will come directly to the Scheuer!
Many guests also come by train, which is of course the best idea!

Doors open at 7 PM

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.

A shop on-site offers materials related to Remarque's life and work for sale.

The castle with a lot to offer: "HerrschaftsZeiten! Erlebnis Cadolzburg" from June 24, 2017 at the Cadolzburg - the new highlight of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region

A powerful castle - the setting of the illustrious history of a ruling family that has achieved great success: this was and is the Cadolzburg. The rulers were the Hohenzollern family, who ruled over Franken and later Brandenburg, also gaining electoral dignity in the 15th century. Later on, they even became Prussian kings and German emperors.

The Cadolzburg derives its radiance not only from its role as the starting point of a significant career in the Holy Roman Empire - the impressive structure itself reflects this golden era of the Hohenzollerns. The new museum "HerrschaftsZeiten! Erlebnis Cadolzburg" of the Bavarian Administration of State Castles will make this time - the late Middle Ages - exciting and informative for visitors through innovative communication concepts. While walking through the castle, visitors can learn not only about the architectural history, wars and peace, daily life, and governing tasks of the princely castle residents. There is much to discover here through interactive and sensory means:

Visitors can experience the castle through their sense of smell, there are tactile stations, sounds and dialogues, vivid models, and invitations to try things out. Exciting or challenging games, medieval Hohenzollerns in their own words, and the jester Contz who guides visitors through the castle bring the Middle Ages to life. Visitors can also expect to see several original medieval artifacts such as swords, maces, or a magnificent treasure chest. Other objects were specially crafted for the museum based on extensive research in historical techniques, such as the gilded armor of the famous General Albrecht Achilles, or textiles dyed according to original recipes. The Bavarian Administration of State Castles also made significant contributions to experimental historical research, like creating a breastplate from boiled leather, in line with the ambition of creating one of Germany's most important castle museums.

The cultural communication of the Bavarian Administration of State Castles also offers a diverse program of accompanying events, making this exciting history even more intriguing - for the young nobleman as well as the castle enthusiast.

Not only the Middle Ages but also the Cadolzburg itself now comes back to life. After the extensive damage of World War II, original medieval rooms and successful architectural creations of the 21st century can now be experienced. The modern buildings completed in 2017 bridge the medieval era with our present time.

You can expect very special experiences here - it truly is THE CASTLE WITH A LOT TO OFFER.

 

 

In the past, 60 was the end – today it’s just the beginning!

While the dinosaurs have long gone extinct and the Pompeiians are dust, Roberto Capitoni stands alive on stage and proves: The best years come after the good ones. Because let's be honest: If Tom Cruise, Campino, and Jim Carrey are over 60 – why not Roberto?

With a titanium hip, remaining hair, and a substantial dose of self-irony, he tackles the big question: What is the new youthfulness? Botox or humor? Smoothie or schnitzel? In a world full of spam emails about miracle cures, retirement advice, and fitness promises, Capitoni swings between fits of laughter and life crises. And then there’s Uncle Luigi – a walking disaster that transforms every "Best Age" into a "Last Hour."

Yet Roberto remains unshakable: He fights with dignity against the pharmacy review, philosophizes about the durability of marriages, and realizes – the true anti-aging means laughing.

60 is the new 40 – Stand-up comedy with depth, charm, and plenty of wrinkles to chuckle at.

Or as Roberto would say: “Growing old is not for cowards – but it’s a huge fun for the audience!”

Patience is truly not her strength, and so Daphne de Luxe presents a new program on stage with "GEDULDSPROBEN," which could hardly be more authentic and amusing. "Of mothers-in-law and other plagues" quickly reveals who is the focal point of this comedy program: the mother-in-law. Recently moved into the house, she literally brings with her some "charming" situations and gets the "Barbie in XL format" figuratively up the wall. But she is not the only one plaguing Daphne de Luxe in her existence, and so the mistress of self-deprecation ruminates in "Geduldsproben" about the sense and nonsense of funny habits and the quirks of aging, philosophizes about humans in general, and amusingly comments on situations that seriously test her patience. Because they are simply everywhere: at the doctor's visit, in the supermarket, at government offices, or in the virtual world. You know that! When Daphne de Luxe tackles the challenges of her everyday life in a humorous way, it is hardly surprising that the biblical plagues, in comparison, seem almost trivial. The humorist impresses in her fifth comedy program with her very special blend of stylish appearance, entertaining humor, winking self-irony, cabaret-like depth, unconditional authenticity, and touching singing. New songs and anecdotes, a lot of humor and self-irony ensure mercilessly good entertainment and let the audience forget their everyday lives for at least two hours or laugh heartily about the trials of patience in life.

Doors open: 7:00 PM

The new program by Simon Stäblein is an absolute shamelessness. Just like this text! Because the longer you read this text, the more you realize that it doesn’t actually provide you with any real information. It's just a text stating that something is here - Because something has to be here! And even this trivial text was not written by an AI, but by a bored Simon Stäblein. But maybe Simon is actually not a human, but an absolute shamelessness?! And if you’re already getting worked up about this, you’d better not even look at the program.

For everyone else – let’s f*cking go!

The Romantic era was a particularly brilliant period for portrait miniatures, reaching its peak and at the same time signaling the end of this special painting technique. Countless artists created portraits with great empathy and astonishing technical perfection. More people than ever collected small portraits of their loved ones to carry with them or to gather at home as a pictorial family album. 142 masterpieces from the renowned Tansey collection illuminate the heyday of an art that had to make way for photography during the 19th century.

Accompanying the exhibition is a catalog that, in addition to the annotated reproduction of all works, is distinguished by essays by various experts on aspects of miniature painting during this time. Hirmer Verlag, bilingual German/English, 432 pages, 208 color illustrations.
