The Criminal Dinner 'Bloodbath in the Town Council' - a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by an exciting criminal case at Hotel Rappen in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

'Bloodbath in the Town Council'

Imagine a small idyllic town in the Bavarian mountains. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and lush green meadows. The perfect place for relaxation, peace, and rejuvenation. Hinterdaxlfing is such a sleepy village where one can relax and let their soul dangle in contentment. Exactly until the day when the universally esteemed head of the community, the Mayor of Hinterdaxlfing, is found murdered.
A murder in Hinterdaxlfing? And even the local leader? Police Sergeant Anton Gumpendobler is faced with a puzzle. Armed with his suitcase typewriter and his lunchbox, he sets out to find the murderer. Could the culprit be from the ranks of the close-knit village community? Was it perhaps a newcomer, a stranger, or even a non-Bavarian? What does Eulalia Turmschreiber have to do with the story and how deeply is she involved in the machinations of the town council?

Embark on a murderous journey to Hinterdaxlfing and assist Gumpendobler Toni in uncovering the perpetrator. Get to know various town council members and dive into the investigation with Toni to solve the intricate case.

The multi-course menu is created and served by Hotel Rappen. The Crime Dinner will kick off at 7 pm, promising thrills for both the nerves and the palate. Doors open at 6:30 pm.

Doors open: 6:30 pm / Menu and theater performance are included in the price / Table and seating assignments will be made on-site

Karneval famously divides the spirits. One flees, the other travels specially for it.

Here in the north, one views the festivities rather soberly. Rightly so? Because the Rhineland has far more to offer musically than just Carnival.
But now, for the 4th time in a row, native Rhinelander Daniel Holtz leads the audience along the Rhine in Eimke. And this time he even has reinforcements: Patrizia Margagliotta, a cheerful Rhinelander with Italian influences.
One can't help but dream of a glass of wine on a warm summer night by the Rhine.
And when the wine starts to take effect, everyone sways together towards Carnival, with the Bläck Fööss, Marie Luise Nikuta, and the Höhner.

Look forward to a varied journey and get to know the traditional songs and Rhine culture in a new way.

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.

Ten Years of Meissen Porcelain Foundation
Exhibition at the Museum of the Meissen Porcelain Foundation, March 21, 2025 to February 22, 2026

Collecting fascinates. The Meissen Porcelain Foundation was founded at the end of 2014, and it began its work in 2015. It preserves the cultural heritage of Meissen porcelain. One of the foundation's tasks is the care of the historical collection of the Meissen porcelain manufactory.

Manufacturer founder Augustus the Strong referred to his passion for porcelain as “Maladie.” This literally means “disease,” but stands for his boundless longing for the precious white gold. This fascination is shared to this day by generations of collectors – and artists. Their porcelains showcase the invention, production, and collection of the white treasures. Porcelain craftsmen provide insight into their art. Happy collectors cherish their treasures. Artists play with the term porcelain and transform centuries-old tools into contemporary porcelain art.

The exhibition provides insight into the work of the foundation and showcases Meissen porcelains around the theme of collecting.

„Fly with me! Fly with me!“, calls Albi, the Alpine swift, who nests under the roof of the Linden Museum during the summer months. On your flight through the permanent exhibitions, you will encounter the transparent kangaroo, hear about an extinct bird, and can listen to the conversation with Seraa, the elephant. Whether in pictures or clothing, made from wood, ceramics, and stone – the animals and their representations tell of the coexistence of humans and animals. This relationship is not always straightforward. On one hand, many animals are admired, revered, and appreciated as companions or domestic and farm animals, while on the other hand, their habitats are also destroyed and they are hunted or displaced.

In the exhibition, illustrator Promina Shrestha brings the animals on the objects to life through her images. During the listening and stamping rally, you will discover together with Albi what the animals have to say, solve puzzles, and collect stamps.

€ 4/3 including permanent exhibitions
Children up to 18 years free

Culinary delight and suspense: Guests at the Wirtshaus Silberwald in Neu-Ulm are in for a treat: The Criminal Dinner - a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by an exciting crime story:

'The Last Joint of Marie Juana - A Hippie Crime'

The year 1999 is coming to an end. The old hippies Sabine and Michi are still trapped in the flower power era. Slowly they long for a change - they are ready for the island. The invitation to the grand Millennium Party "HIGH END" on the tiny island of Hellegraskog is just right. This island, owned by the beach chair tycoon Tim le Ary, serves as the venue for a retreat for "opening up" on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Woodstock. The spirit of the 70s is conjured up and the participants, a colorful mix from the old '68 hippie to the 90s party girls, delve deep into the not yet forgotten world. Heartily and substantially, work is done with and in the grass.

But then the unbelievable happens - a murder in the midst of an atmosphere of love, peace, and happiness. A lifeless figure lies in the white sand. Who pushed Marie Juana off the cliff?

The tantalizing multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at the Wirtshaus Silberwald. The thrill for nerves and palate starts at 7 pm, admission is from 6:30 pm.

By Nino Haratischwili

Athens at a standstill. The old king Theseus once again announces his resignation, but so far nothing has happened. His wife Phaedra is also growing impatient, as she wants to finally shed the tight corset of the court. The designated heir, Demophon, is already waiting for his coronation. All that is missing is the planned marriage to Persea, which is supposed to seal the power transfer. But Persea is no submissive bride. Instead of resigning herself to her fate, she questions the rules – and ignites her forbidden love for Phaedra. A scandal that shakes the foundations of Athenian society. In a world dominated by rigid rules and the influence of the high priest, love can become a dangerous act of rebellion. What follows is a struggle between societal order and individual freedom.

Nino Haratischwili has written a passionate chamber play about power, desire, and self-determination. Inspired by the ancient Phaedra myth, the play tells of a world where political intrigues, personal longings, and old structures collide inexorably.

The band "Abalance" is considered one of the oldest ABBA revival bands ever.
Exciting shows and guest performances have taken them from the Baltic Sea to Lake Constance and to the Friedrichstadtpalast Berlin. Even abroad... Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, France..., there was interest in the exquisite selection of unforgettable ABBA songs with Abalance.
A highlight was the elaborate collaboration with a classical orchestra.

Now the band delights the audience in their region with a fascinating ABBA stage show - "live in concert".
Of course, it is the ladies who enchant the stage. The trained voices of the soloists Ines Mossbauer and Katrin Feickert are uniquely reminiscent of the original, creating a perfect illusion. The roots of ABBA lie in folklore. Delicately and with great attention to detail, Jürgen Mossbauer (key, voc), Marco Wendel (git, voc), and Gerrit Dettmer (dr, voc) present the musical foundation of the world hits. "Waterloo-MammaMia-SOS-Dancing Queen-Thank you for the Music"... The emotional tension in the hall is ensured by the popular unplugged moments during the show.

The singers, who are sisters in real life, host warmly and dramaturgically well thought-out a show that touches not only the skin but also reaches directly into the heart across generations.

Look forward to an exquisite mix of almost all the hits of the legendary Swedes.

Music icon David Bowie captivated billions of people on stage. His 26 albums, countless stage shows, and music videos are legendary and have not only had a lasting impact on the music scene. However, behind the world-famous David Bowie is the man named David Robert Jones. Photographer Christine de Grancy accompanied him on a day in 1994 at the Art Brut Center Gugging. This resulted in black-and-white photographs that offer an unusual perspective on the artist and present him in a new light. The photo exhibition premiered in April at the Santa Monica Arts Museum in L.A. where it was even extended until August. The black-and-white images show David Bowie at the Austrian Art Brut Center Gugging, the place known as the birthplace of extraordinary outsider art. Apart from the exhibition, the photos were never presented to the public.

Christine de Grancy (born in 1942 in Graz) is an Austrian photographer who gained international recognition for her sensitive, humanistic image series. Known for her respectful, quiet gaze on people and their life worlds, she moves between documentation and art. Whether portraits of actresses at the Burgtheater, long-term observations of Iranian nomads, or everyday moments in Afghanistan – her works tell stories of dignity, vulnerability, and the beauty of the genuine. During the setup in L.A., De Grancy passed away on March 20, 2025, in Vienna.
