A theater journey with puppets, magic, and juggling

This Easter, we are not looking for eggs, but a pirate treasure! When the traveling magician Hannes tells about his encounters with colorful parrots, slimy snakes, and grumpy pirates, the little (and mostly the big) guests can hardly contain their amazement: During the storytelling, inexplicable things happen, juggling balls transform into towering waves, and sabers fly through the air. The adventure journey begins...

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.

BACHS JOHANNESPASSION - a milestone in music history

For over six decades, the Bachchor Erlangen has regularly presented Bach's great passions on Good Friday. On Good Friday 2025, April 18, at 8 PM, the JOHANNESPASSION will be performed at the Altstädter Kirche at Martin-Luther-Platz, one of the acoustically outstanding church venues in the region.

With Andrea Zeilinger (soprano), Marie Henriette Reinhold (alto), the highly acclaimed Uwe Stickert (tenor), Richard Helm (bass, Christ), and Leonhard Geiger (bass, arias), an internationally sought-after quintet of soloists will perform; the Münchner Bachsolisten, consisting of members from significant Munich orchestras, will play, and the Bachchor Erlangen will sing, conducted by Wieland Hofmann.

Nuremberg has a new vocal ensemble! For the first time to experience are the predominantly professional musicians of the "Capella Sebaldina" with their conductor, Sebaldus cantor Alexander Rebetge, at the peak of the Passion season. THE WAY OF THE LAMB: Masterpieces of deeply moving choral and new a-capella music underline, comment on, and illustrate the passion story of Jesus. The word-music mix touches and sharpens the focus on the essential.

„The times were very bad and evil,” wrote a chronicler about life in Fürth in the year 1634. For centuries, the people of Fürth suffered from adverse circumstances such as epidemics and warlike events. On our walk through the ages, you will hear about causes of death and death crowns at the former cemetery of St. Michael. Along the way, you will learn about the “horribly terrible devilish life in Fürth” (1561). Stories will be told about treatments by the bader, about leprosy, plague, and hunger typhus. The duties of a fall or wasen master will also be a topic.

Whether famous or not, they deserve to have their stories told: the women of Fürth! How they fought for recognition in "their" time and the arduous paths many had to take will be revealed to you in this tour. Although women achieved significant things in history, their contributions often go unmentioned. Fürth has always been shaped by capable women. Stories of the lives of female workers, of unprecedented businesswomen, or of the struggle of Germany's first female doctor, Emilie Lehmus, await you in this fascinating tour through the city center of Fürth.

On this walk in the green, you will learn what grows on both sides of the river. Not only do plants thrive there, but above all, there are many stories to tell along the river. There is the history of the riverside city from spa to research park, the stories surrounding the Röllinger Bridge or the city park. And of course, we will also reveal everything there is to tell about the Pegnitz and its legacies from Nuremberg...

The starting point of the vintage bus tour is at the train station square with the renovated train station and the Centaur fountain. It continues to the grand boulevards towards the Radio Museum, then passing by the City Theatre, the Town Hall, and around the Billinganlage. Additional stops are the western city center and the Berolzheimerianum. In the vintage bus from 1972, you will learn a lot of interesting facts about the history of Fürth from our trained city guides.

On every step of the way, you will feel the history of the Cloverleaf City during this walk through the charming old town. Above all, the many hidden, carefully renovated courtyards like Stadlershof, Laubenhof, Kannengießerhof, or Industriehof are worth more than a glance. They show the transformation from the village-shaped Fürth with small craft businesses to industrially shaped courtyards. Here, life and work were closely intertwined. Today, many courtyards have been lovingly transformed into spaces of relaxation and creativity. Let yourself be surprised on the way to hidden oases in the old town.

Nicht Fürths Geschichte steht bei diesem Gang durch die Altstadt im Vordergrund, sondern amüsante Geschichtchen, ob wahr oder nicht so ganz wahr, sei dahin gestellt. Da geht es einmal um die ungleichen Schwestern Nürnberg und Fürth, deren Reibereien, Streitigkeiten und Schlachten schon bei der Gründung begannen. Noch heute bekriegen sich die beiden Städte, allerdings nur verbal, als Fans der beiden Fußballmannschaften. Zum anderen ist die Altstadt voller Geschichten über Fürther Originale wie Doris Kraus, besser bekannt als das „Pfeiffndurla“.

A terrible, black-haired monster, a creature, incredibly dangerous – with eight eyes and deadly bad breath! Bad breath? But it smells totally good here, like freshly baked cake! Otto is baking it for his birthday, and he wants to share it with the other meadow inhabitants. But they don't want to celebrate with Otto, because Otto is a spider, and spiders are disgusting and dangerous – or so the others think. In fact, they don't really know any spiders at all. Just Otto. A little bit. And he is actually really nice and doesn't smell at all. So what about the cake now?
“Otto, die kleine Spinne” based on the book by Guido van Genechten allows young theatergoers from 3 years old to experience how a story unfolds on the theater stage. A little big plea for tolerance and togetherness – and of course for theater!
