Permanent exhibition on urban history

The urban history exhibition illustrates the political and economic path of Offenburg from the Revolution of 1848 to the economic miracle of the 1950s and 60s.

At the beginning of the Revolution of 1848, the urban history exhibition starts and takes the visitor through the times of upheaval and change in Offenburg and the region.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Offenburg is a tranquil town with just under 2,400 inhabitants. 170 years later, there are already 33,000 citizens. During this period, the city experiences industrialization, two revolutions, three wars, two inflations, emigration and immigration, dictatorship, and a democratic new beginning.

Four main themes are focused on:

• History of democracy

• Migration

• Mobility

• Economic history

The exhibition illustrates the political and economic path of Offenburg into modernity, from the Revolution of 1848 to the economic miracle of the 1950s and 60s. It combines treasures from the archives with modern media and playful elements such as an animation on emigration to North America, audio stations, and film sequences.

Tue-Sun 10am-5pm

Approximately 1000 years of city history, told in an exciting way through five stations, await visitors to the new permanent exhibition on the city's history.

A media station sheds light on the unsolved history of the city's founding. Excavation finds from the Early Middle Ages remind us of the first traces of settlement by the people of Offenburg. How did Offenburg families live, work, and reside 600 years ago? The focal point of the exhibition is a historically staged library room where visitors can admire, uniquely in the world, the globe segment map created by the cartographer Martin Waldseemüller. It is considered the "birth certificate" of America. The importance of faith, church, and monasteries in the Imperial City of Offenburg is illustrated by noteworthy objects related to religious folk art. The impact of the wars of the 17th century on the city and its inhabitants is revealed through contemporary objects from the museum collection. The exhibition concludes with the reconstruction after the city fire and the end of the Imperial City epoch, signaled by an intriguing espionage story.

Opening Hours:
Tue - Sun 10am-5pm

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.

 

 

The Vokalisatoren are a nationally known a cappella ensemble. The male double quartet, along with their conductor Katharina Roser, has developed a large repertoire of modern and classical choral music that thematically addresses the thrilling contrasts between men and women. From philosophically serious to cheerfully frivolous, Nimburg's smallest but most famous men's choir consistently presents entertaining harmony singing at a high level, combined with charming comedy. For 15 years, the ensemble has been successfully on the road in almost unchanged line-ups with annually changing programs.

But because one should unfortunately stop when it’s at its best, the Vokas will take the stage together for the last time this evening and say GOODBYE.

Doors open: 19:30 I No entry will be allowed after the event has started!

There may still be tickets available at the box office.

Admission 1 hour before the start

Consciously or unconsciously, Storm encountered us during the Christmas season when we desperately searched for a suitable poem, or we remember our school days and "The Rider on the White Horse". Like Heine, Eichendorff, and Mörike, he became part of the common heritage of the Germans. It is his poems that reflect immediate experience, it is his numerous novellas that include love, renunciation, disappointment, or a dramatic struggle with nature that are at the center of the evening. We visit him with his life story way up in the far north, in his birthplace Husum. We also encounter the political Theodor Storm who was close to the Schleswig-Holstein Freedom Struggles.
Barbara Kleyboldt and Rüdiger Trappmann recount his life and recite poems and prose from "Immensee" and "The Rider on the White Horse".

RIAN TOUR 20252026

What happened there? Just over two years ago, RIAN was an in-demand newcomer, drawing attention with his first songs in German. One of them – "Schwarzes Schaf" – went viral in 2023 and was a taste of things to come; RIAN, who simultaneously experienced a breakthrough as a successful comedy influencer, possesses a zeitgeist and unembarrassing mainstream compatibility.

With that, RIAN has also found his style: He combines German-speaking indie pop with smart comedy and always conveys social and political relevance for the good cause in his output. His songs are charming gems that stand in the tradition of KAFFKIEZ, Danger Dan, Antilopen Gang, Falco, Manu Chao, or Jonathan Richman – upfront, they are definitely funny and danceable, yet deep around the corners, (self-)critical, and always empathetic. The pop line from feet to heart to head has rarely felt so correct.

In 2024, RIAN then achieved a genuine hit with "Verwandtschaftstreffen" from the EP of the same name: He was nominated three times for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award and reached number one in the Austrian Shazam Charts, the Austria Viral Charts, and the Ö3-Austro-Charts. The song was awarded Gold in Austria and is currently aiming for Platinum. With 15 million streams, RIAN has firmly cemented his place in the German-speaking music scene, "Verwandtschaftstreffen" is on heavy rotation on the biggest radio stations and has become the life soundtrack for fans.

On the tour for the EP, the hit, but even more so his reputation as an excellent live entertainer, filled venues: After a completely sold-out "Verwandtschaftstreffen Tour 2025" and a tour finale in Vienna with over 3,000 fans, it is clear that RIAN has reached the next level. In Austria, he is recognized in supermarkets, and a fan selfie with him or "a video for the third cousin" is no longer unusual.

The fan turnout in Germany is also immense, as is the appetite for RIAN shows – all DE dates were completely sold out, including upgrades and additional shows. Therefore, RIAN announces an extensive tour for autumn 2025 and spring 2026: The artist will be seen in 26 cities across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland – promising even bigger shows, even more live energy, and of course, plenty of new music.

Until the tour, RIAN is intensively working on new songs – and already hints that his debut album is expected in early 2026. His blend of pop, indie, and hip-hop, paired with his cabaret performances and profound lyrics, makes him one of the most exciting live acts of the year.

There were other women; how did she cope with that? Experience for the first time glimpses into the private world of Elvis and Priscilla on these historic evenings.

Priscilla will also talk about her life after Elvis. About her own film and television career, including the famous series "Dallas," in which she played one of the lead roles for five years. About her life with Lisa Marie – and the legacy of the King that she will defend for her entire life.

SCHEINHEILIG – the UNHEILIG tribute band
“UNHEILIG is history... and the story continues.”
Wilhelmshaven - Four young individuals, who have been professional musicians for years and admirers of the Graf, his music and his lyrics, have joined forces to make the magic of UNHEILIG live experienceable in the future. With great respect for the original and deep love for the work of the Graf, but also with the courage to put their own stamp on his music, they founded SCHEINHEILIG.
The audience can look forward to an evening full of great lyrics and unforgettable melodies on Saturday, March 22, 2025, starting at 8 PM. Along with that, there will be goosebumps, wonderful memories, a bit of nostalgia, and simply a fantastic time. Just as they were: UNHEILIG. Just as he was: the Graf.
This unique opportunity to experience the music of UNHEILIG in a new form should not be missed. The audience is invited to be there when SCHEINHEILIG continues the legacy of the Graf while also giving it a personal touch.

When you hear "Eyes of the Highway," you immediately feel like getting into your non-existent vintage Mustang convertible and driving through the Arizona desert (or through Brandenburg) into the sunset.
You can literally feel the breeze carrying you into the expanses of this world.

With "Eyes of the Highway," Alina Sebastian presents her debut album, which will be available from June 2nd on all common streaming and download platforms and in CD form. It includes 11 tracks.

"In 'Eyes of the Highway,' I put 2 years of passion and work. The release is particularly exciting for me because the album showcases a wide range of my songwriting and is the expression of my restlessness, which keeps challenging me but also makes me the person I am."
Powerful productions with honest vocals, versatile instrumentation, and the feeling of freedom, always with a hint of curiosity - that's what listeners can expect from the debut album of the songwriter, which thematically moves between wanderlust, heartache, and joy of life.

The 5-time winner of the German Rock & Pop Award, singer, songwriter, and producer developed her own unique style on the German music market through influences of pop and country music.
Gentle ballads on the piano, catchy melodies on the guitar, or powerful on the bass - alone or with her band at her back - not only the songwriting but also the shows are diverse and full of energy.
"The singer is able to express overflowing joy of life, but also tragic and painful moments with her individual timbre in her voice. Sometimes very reserved, sensitive, almost whispered, then shining brightly or powerfully penetrating." (Lokalplus NRW)

"And how did a young woman in Germany end up doing country music?"
"New Country" is the fusion of strong songwriting and complex guitar riffs with contemporary arrangements and productions from the field of pop music.
The genre gained popularity in Germany for the first time in the late 90s through Shania Twain, around 10 years later through early Taylor Swift, and has since further evolved. Instead of trying to fulfill ideals and stereotypes, the focus is on the credibility of the artists and current, contemporary themes.

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

Tickets are still available at all known advance booking locations and at the box office.
