Ornamenta is a cultural program in Pforzheim and the Nordschwarzwald region that takes place from July 5 to September 29, 2024. On new routes with art and design, visitors experience exhibitions, public artworks as permanent installations, and events at more than 20 locations in the Nordschwarzwald.

For three months, the municipalities in the region are expanded through five thematic neighborhoods. These new communities with the names Inhalatorium, Solartal, Bad Databrunn, Schmutzige Ecke, and Zum Eros address topics that concern the people of the region and Europe alike. From sunshine and clean air to social taboos and technology, each thematic community serves as a place of interaction: local associations showcase unexpected partnerships with international cultural practitioners, traditional institutions meet progressive artists, regional industries are enriched by ideas from young designers.

Discover the Wadden Sea | The perfect mudflat walk for everyone: adults, families, children & teenagers

On our hour-and-a-half to two-hour mudflat walks to or in the mudflats of Otterndorf, experienced mudflat guides will show you the hidden treasures of the impressive animal and plant world, because some things can only be seen at second glance...

For example, lugworms are small civil engineers and build the unmistakable small heaps on the mudflats. And fundamentally, all the small marine creatures hide from the birds, who are presented with a rich feast on the seabed during low tide. In summer, oystercatchers can be observed particularly well during their search for food, while in winter it's more the sanderlings.

Equipped with a fork, bucket, and sieve, your mudflat guide will take you into this impressive natural landscape to show you this natural habitat and discover it together with you.

Along the way, you will not only learn (almost) everything about the North Sea and the Wadden Sea, but you will also receive a lot of information about the Otterndorf pumping station, the world shipping route Elbe, why the dike is so important, and much more.

In cooler weather, remember to wear sturdy shoes or rubber boots and weatherproof clothing. For sensitive feet, we generally recommend wearing mudflat walking / water shoes. You can buy so-called "Beachies", for example, at our tourist information office. It is also advisable to bring something to drink.

Tickets for the mudflat walk are only available in advance.

FAMILY NOTE:
Both guided mudflat walk offers are suitable for families, and our mudflat guides always interact with the participating children. The guided family mudflat walk, our other mudflat walking offer, is simply more geared towards the needs of families with young children (4 - 8 years). There, children can do more (age-appropriate) things themselves, the distance in the mudflat is shorter, and the information to be conveyed is less and more playful. But even with the "regular" mudflat walk, no child will get bored, because the natural habitat of the mudflat is simply exciting.

ACCESSIBILITY NOTE:
We also want to enable people with mobility impairments to experience the Wadden Sea up close. Our non-motorized mudflat vehicle can be pushed over the muddy bottom thanks to its large wheels and can even overcome small obstacles. The mudflat vehicle cannot be moved under its own power, it requires a helping hand to push the mudflat vehicle.

I have always been interested in a writing existence. Jean Lassalle is the pseudonym of a German author who is based in Düsseldorf and Nice. At the end of the 70s, I lived in Brest for a short time. I was in a relationship with my French girlfriend. In early 1983, I came to Nice for the first time - because of the art and the unique light. Since then, I have returned again and again. The place of yearning has long since become a new home. I used to write two crime novels in German, all set near Düsseldorf. Since March 2021, the first case of Ex-Commissaire Bernard Bonnot has been published. I am a member of Syndikat e. V.

Natalie Wallrath lives in Düsseldorf. She studied music at the Conservatorium in Maastricht. As a guitarist and composer, she is active in various jazz and pop combos. In her music, she creates melodies that give rise to rhythmically-harmonious surprising turns.

Cheerful family play about the adventures of the little ghost who switches the night with the day

k1 Page Foyer - Free entry

Football is played almost all over the world, even if not always professionally, it appeals to almost everyone and brings the world closer together in this way. Football offers fans and players great emotions, passionate debates, fun, sense of community, and pushes the limits of physical activity. There are amateur teams worldwide, as well as children who indulge in this sport with the simplest of means. This favorite sport of many can also be critically examined. Superstars with role model functions earn astronomical salaries; talents imported from all over the world are ultimately discarded; in countries where per capita income barely allows for survival, expensive sports facilities and arenas are built for competitions ... The students of the Walter-Mohr Secondary School are creatively engaging with these topics.

The exhibition is open to the public from 09.05. to 31.07. and can be visited during box office opening hours (Tue-Fri from 11.00 - 15.00) as well as before events and by appointment.

Matthias Weckmann 350th death anniversary

Entrance at 17:00

Already from 2004 to 2013, Rosenau, together with Theater Rampe, Theaterhaus, Literaturhaus, and Laboratorium, annually organized the "Viennese Week" festival. The idea was to focus on Vienna/Austria for a week and specifically invite cabaret artists, writers, authors, and theater productions from there to Stuttgart. The series "Wiener Blut" now picks up on this idea again. Throughout the year, various Austrian cabaret artists will present their programs at Rosenau: Social, political, and interpersonal topics are entertainingly brought to the stage in a cabaret style! And everything is a bit more biting, sinister, ironic, quirky, and often more poetic than from German territory.
The subscription consists of the following 6 events:
- 09.02.24 Benedikt Mitmannsgruber with "The strange case of Benedikt Mitmannsgruber"
- 04.04.24 Blonder Engel with "Songs that are funny and sometimes a bit sad, but that's okay"
- 19.04.24 Christine Teichmann with "Left right human rights"
- 11.09.24 Magda Leeb with "Pigging out"
- 04.10.24 Blözinger with "New Program"
- 23.10.24 Hosea Ratschiller with "HOSEA"

An evening with Heinz Erhardt compiled by Uwe Hoppe

Heinz Erhardt - cheerful and contemplative, drunk and singing.
His life in songs, poems, drinks, and stories.

"Another poem" was one of his trademarks, alongside the awkward, foolish, and prim that he could embody like no other. We are of course talking about Heinz Erhardt, who not only held his fame during his lifetime but beyond his death. One year after his 40th death anniversary, his poems and songs return to the stage - compiled by Uwe Hoppe.

While he was working reluctantly in his grandparents' music store, Heinz Erhardt was considered a secret tip for private parties in Riga - where he was born and raised. But fame would only come after he married the love of his life, Gilda Zanetti, and they survived the Second World War together with their four children. Through the radio, Erhardt made his way to the big screen and thus became immortal.

His humor is timeless and still delights people of all ages today. This is probably due to his creative wordplay and cleverly twisted expressions.

No wonder he ranks second in the top ten most enduring comedians.

Direction and Stage Design: Uwe Hoppe

Cast: Charis Hager, Lou Bertalan, Ambrogio Vinella
