Three years ago, Elli and Robert got divorced and now live with new partners. However, they have not had the heart to tell their three adult children about it. Therefore, this year as well, they keep up appearances and celebrate Christmas Eve with the whole family, but without the new partners, at the parents' house – a farce that has now become a routine. But this time, the plan starts to fall apart because Robert's new partner shows up unannounced and gives an ultimatum: the situation should be clarified by dinnertime. And the children also have some secrets to reveal...

"Alle unter eine Tanne" is a (definitely not) normal family comedy – authentic, warm-hearted and amusing!

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the demolition of the city wall of Trier in 2025, an exhibition at the city museum deals with the city wall and the development of the city. Starting from the remnants of the wall that came to light during excavations in the cellar of the Simeonstift during the construction work for the extension, which clearly shows the intertwining of antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modernity, the exhibition connects to the time of the wall's demolition and the present.

A magical musical based on Hans Christian Andersen

The little mermaid Undine longs to be human and have a soul, for she loves Prince Leonardo. Through a potion from the witch Babajaga, she loses her fish tail and gains human form. In return, she must sell her voice to the witch. She has three days - such is the witch's condition - to win the prince's love. If she fails by sunset on the third day, the life of the little mermaid will turn to foam.
But don't worry: the water lord and his deep-sea singing teacher Professor Cod know what to do.
Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale this time: funny, poetic, and with a happy ending.

Audience and press agreed: Truly grand theater! While the audience demanded encores every night with standing ovations, the Hamburger Abendblatt stated: "Even a real gift for Christmas grumps" and "Escaping the Christmas stress cannot end more beautifully," as per Die Welt.

Theater is illusion – always. And Christmas is magical – sometimes. However, the grand Christmas show at the First Stage Theater brought magical illusion to the stage at the highest level. Sometimes enchanting and captivating, sometimes touching and teasing, but also cheeky and full of humor - around 50 students from the Stage School Hamburg virtuously played on the keyboard of emotions and showcased their dancing, acting, and musical skills in 26 Christmas acts.

Show length including intermission: 2 hrs., 15 mins.

Please understand that NO entry is possible after the start of the performance.

Rebekka Bakken has created music as enchanting as the winter landscape of Norway. She translates the archaic tranquility of deep blue fjords, the meditative solitude of snow-covered pine forests, and the dreamlike grandeur of the Northern Lights - into her own songs and selected cover songs from pop & folk music. Et voilá: Get ready for a fantastic winter Christmas evening full of deep & authentic emotions.

With her typical Rebekka Bakken sound, blending Norwegian picturesque Singer-Songwriter influences with Modern-European-Jazz, the popular artist presents a concert program that unfolds its power through reduction. Rebekka Bakken puts her multi-octave voice in the foreground for an intimate concert. Accompanied by refined yet understated arrangements, she brilliantly accompanies herself on the piano. Last but not least, she will prove her qualities as an extremely charming entertainer - with wonderfully humorous and self-deprecating anecdotes from her life as a budding musician and loving woman. Ladies & Gentleman: Rebekka Bakken!

Welcome to the realm of knowledge in the Baroque era: Stepping onto creaking floorboards into the quiet grandeur of our historical library hall, one is immediately enveloped by the collective knowledge of the Early Modern period. Like stage sets in a Baroque theater, the original bookshelves jut into the space, housing around 50,000 books from all fields of knowledge. Behind unassuming book spines lie remarkable treasures, such as the first German Bible printed in America.

At the end of the 17th century, the orphanage's library was established as one of the first public libraries in Germany. Primarily through donations, book exchanges, and their own publications, the library grew so rapidly that within a few years, it was comparable to significant German university libraries. In 1728, it received its own building, which is considered the oldest surviving secular library structure in Germany. Not only in recent times has the library been visited by guests and researchers from around the world: Albrecht von Haller, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe all admired its bibliophilic treasures. We present a selection of them for you in rotating cabinet exhibitions in the former reading room of the library.

10 am - 5 pm

The Art and Natural History Chamber is considered the oldest German museum room. It was established by August Hermann Francke for educational purposes and is now once again set up according to the original museum concept of the 18th century in its historical location in the attic of the Historical Orphanage.

Eighteen richly decorated collection cabinets house approximately 3000 natural specimens, curiosities, and artifacts. They provide a unique impression of a Baroque cabinet of curiosities. Unlike modern museums, the chamber follows an encyclopedic collecting approach. A distinction is made between natural specimens and artifacts. The natural specimens are divided into rocks, plants, and animals, while the artifacts are categorized into visual arts, calligraphy, coins, everyday culture, and clothing. The goal was to create a mirror image of the world: a microcosm that made the macrocosm as the wonderful creation of God tangible.

In a series of events, art projects take place around the Art and Natural History Chamber. In the so-called "Contemporary Reflections on the Art and Natural History Chamber," foundations invite artists to engage in an artistic dialogue with the chamber.

Palace-like, the orphanage rises on Franckeplatz. Then as now, it is the centerpiece of the Francke Foundations. Erected in 1698 as the first building of the school city, it represents a new facet of European Baroque, combining confident representation without extravagant ornamentation and setting the tone for orphanage architecture.

Today, the orphanage is our museum and cultural center. Right from the start, two permanent exhibitions guide you through the history of the foundation and the global impact of Pietism. On the first floor, the former prayer and singing hall surprises with its bright architecture. Today, it enjoys an excellent reputation as a concert hall due to its fantastic acoustics. In the adjacent conference rooms, a photo exhibition showcases the impressive renovation work since the foundations were reestablished in 1991. The second floor is reserved for our changing special exhibitions, which provide insight into important themes of the foundation's history from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Passing through the art and natural history collections in the attic, you reach the balcony via a narrow wooden staircase. Here, a wide view opens up over the impressive ensemble with school buildings from three centuries. There is also a splendid panorama of the Old Town of Halle from here. In the basement, children can explore their own paths in the Krokoseum.

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

What power does the word have? For Halleschen Pietismus, the word was of central importance. On the ground floor of the Historical Orphanage, we show you how August Hermann Francke's reform movement could spread around the world.

Francke developed central reformative goals of Martin Luther's with Halleschen Pietismus. His approach was as clear as it was revolutionary: Every person should find God through their own Bible reading. However, for this to happen, everyone - boys and girls alike - had to learn to read, everyone should be able to afford their own Bible and it should be printed in their own native language. Therefore, Francke established schools for all social classes, printed millions of German-language People's Bibles, and created an international network through which the Bible was translated into many other languages. His educational initiative allowed a broad population to engage with the word. In the 18th-century evangelical parsonages, the authors of the Romantic and Enlightenment periods were highly regarded. A culture of self-reflection spread in Pietism, which was reflected in diaries and personal testimonies, giving us remarkable insights into the spiritual life of people of that time. Symbolically, the power of the word is also evident in the meticulously restored pulpit from the Church of St. Ulrich in Halle, where Francke preached from 1715 and which you can admire in the exhibition.
