Sporty Globetrotters
Since 2017, the event series "Sporty Globetrotters" has been taking place in cooperation with SG Dietzenbach. In entertaining multimedia presentations, well-known adventurers and extreme athletes present spectacular experiences and impressions from their travels around the world. Immerse yourself in fascinating stories and support the work of SG Dietzenbach 1945 with your visit.

As the first European, Dirk Rohrbach paddles North America's longest rivers from the source to the mouth. From the Rocky Mountains through the Great Plains and the Midwest to the deep South to the Gulf of Mexico. 6000 kilometers on the Missouri and Mississippi. In the Californian desert, Dirk builds a kayak out of wood for the journey, then climbs with snowshoes to the source of the Missouri in Montana and follows the first waterways for 100 miles on a mountain bike before continuing his journey in the boat. In doing so, the photographer and adventurer explores the small settlements and bustling metropolises on the banks of America's most important lifeline. He meets descendants of the indigenous people, musicians, captains, and 'River Rats', quaint characters who could never imagine a life without the river.
Majestic mountains and endless prairies, gigantic dams and giant freighters, cotton fields and Delta blues. Missouri and Mississippi tell many stories along the long journey through America's Heartland. Dirk Rohrbach tracks them down, powered by his own strength, decelerated and close to nature and people.
It will be his most epic journey so far. Alone for months on the fourth largest river system on earth. Brutal thunderstorms, grueling storms, smoldering heat. Progress becomes a challenge, a confrontation with natural forces and oneself. And an unforgettable adventure.

Doors open: 7:00 PM
