Welcome to the realm of knowledge in the Baroque era: Stepping onto creaking floorboards into the quiet grandeur of our historical library hall, one is immediately enveloped by the collective knowledge of the Early Modern period. Like stage sets in a Baroque theater, the original bookshelves jut into the space, housing around 50,000 books from all fields of knowledge. Behind unassuming book spines lie remarkable treasures, such as the first German Bible printed in America.

At the end of the 17th century, the orphanage's library was established as one of the first public libraries in Germany. Primarily through donations, book exchanges, and their own publications, the library grew so rapidly that within a few years, it was comparable to significant German university libraries. In 1728, it received its own building, which is considered the oldest surviving secular library structure in Germany. Not only in recent times has the library been visited by guests and researchers from around the world: Albrecht von Haller, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe all admired its bibliophilic treasures. We present a selection of them for you in rotating cabinet exhibitions in the former reading room of the library.

10 am - 5 pm

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

What power does the word have? For Halleschen Pietismus, the word was of central importance. On the ground floor of the Historical Orphanage, we show you how August Hermann Francke's reform movement could spread around the world.

Francke developed central reformative goals of Martin Luther's with Halleschen Pietismus. His approach was as clear as it was revolutionary: Every person should find God through their own Bible reading. However, for this to happen, everyone - boys and girls alike - had to learn to read, everyone should be able to afford their own Bible and it should be printed in their own native language. Therefore, Francke established schools for all social classes, printed millions of German-language People's Bibles, and created an international network through which the Bible was translated into many other languages. His educational initiative allowed a broad population to engage with the word. In the 18th-century evangelical parsonages, the authors of the Romantic and Enlightenment periods were highly regarded. A culture of self-reflection spread in Pietism, which was reflected in diaries and personal testimonies, giving us remarkable insights into the spiritual life of people of that time. Symbolically, the power of the word is also evident in the meticulously restored pulpit from the Church of St. Ulrich in Halle, where Francke preached from 1715 and which you can admire in the exhibition.

10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Sister Marie Julia decides to try a new recipe for fish soup, but this has overwhelming consequences for the convent sisters: When the Mother Superior and four of her fellow sisters return from bingo, they find all the remaining 52 sisters of the order with their faces in their soup bowls – dead! Since there are insufficient funds for the burial of their deceased sisters, a quick solution is needed: a spontaneous benefit show, where every nun shines at her best!

Look forward to a show like no other: wonderful musical numbers, slapstick, dance, and a healthy dose of charm – and discover what really lies beneath the habit. With live music, it’s time for: "The Show must go Nonn!"

A heartwarming satire, suitable for all those who crave an unconventional, entertaining musical experience – even without church knowledge: Laughter guaranteed!

Foyer opens at 6:00 PM, hall entry 30 minutes before the start of the performance.

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.

She is the new insider tip when it comes to humor from the Ländle. She is known from the Fasnacht shows on BR Schaben Weissblau and from the Fasnacht from the Konzil on SWR. Experience an entertaining evening where you can laugh heartily. In her new program: “ES ISCH WIES ISCH”, it’s all about down-to-earth humor, aging, the modern zeitgeist, and everyday madness. For example, she explores the question of whether men who can grill can really cook. And she wonders what one should do when no one learns a skilled trade anymore? Who do you call when the faucet is leaking? The water bachelor, or even the water engineer? What is one supposed to become without a high school diploma? Craftsman or politician? She sets things straight. Long live common sense. Straight from life and viewed from the outside. Marianne Schätzle has been awarded the Metzinger Kabarettpreis and the Schnellertshamer Heugabel. She hits the nerve of the audience. The cabaret artist Marianne Schätzle became famous for her legendary Merkel parody, which has also been featured on various television stations. Cabaret at a high level and beneath it.

Firmly rooted in the tradition of Orthodox church music and the Gregorian chant of the Middle Ages, the ensemble (Magic Gregorian Voices) bridges spiritual songs from the Renaissance and Baroque up to classics of pop music such as Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence," and Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Amazing Grace."

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

Tue to Sat 10 AM - 5 PM / Sun and holidays 10 AM - 6 PM / Closed on Dec 24, 25, and 31

Whether hat, bag or jewelry, completely extravagant, fashionable or classically simple: The desire to adorn oneself has been present since time immemorial. Accessories seem to have no limits. They are subject to constantly changing fashion trends, and many items are worn differently today than in the past or not at all. However, for people in the past centuries, there were indispensable items that complemented clothing and were part of everyday attire.
The exhibition „alltagsschick & sonntagsfein“ in the Bergfried „Dicker Wilhelm“ therefore focuses on various accessories from old to new. It mainly presents objects from the museum's collection. These primarily date from the 19th and early 20th centuries and also reflect the daily life of the people in the region. Many of the pieces are donations from Freyburg and the surrounding area. This is complemented by selected loans.

For certain occasions, corresponding accessories were worn, and rules determined the type of personal decoration. However, they all share the intention of emphasizing both the individuality and the social belonging of their wearers. Whether for the dance ball, theater, or the Sunday stroll, such as to Neuenburg and its charming surroundings.
As early as the 19th century, Neuenburg Castle was a travel destination for interested visitors from near and far. This is evidenced by the oldest surviving guestbook from 1840, which was available in the Bergfried. However, the oldest entry in the guestbook dates back to October 5, 1828: none other than the father of gymnastics, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778–1852), described his view from the „Dicker Wilhelm“ 197 years ago. But what accessories did he wear when he dared to make the ascent? At the very least, he must have been dressed either alltagschick or sonntagsfein.

After 20 years of marriage, everyone asks themselves the question “Is that it now? How much longer will this last? What happened to my dreams, when my spouse has nothing left to say to me - except ‘take your pills.’ The secret to a happy marriage is apparently a secret. That’s why it’s called ‘hei-raten’ and not ‘hei-wissen.’
Would complete openness be a concept for more happiness in marriage? But who can honestly ask their partner after 20 years: “Are you as bored as I am?” A wise man prefers to say nothing to his wife.

So what to do when couples therapists have no appointments available? Buy a ticket for Stephan Bauer! Marriage counseling helps, yoga helps, but happily shouting “shit” at a comedy night is cheaper. After 30 years in the marriage steel bath, he knows: Everyone wants to pin their partner against the wall at some point. The important thing is that you take them down again afterwards. So let’s just look at the misery with humor. “Yes, my partner has lost it, but just look how beautifully it rolls.”

Stephan Bauer's new program looks into the relational abysses of modern humans, but it also shows how we can rebuild broken bridges. Two hours of marriage fun, so that we all feel better. One microphone, one bar stool, punchlines hitting one after another, laughter without a breath pause.

And the nice thing is: the ticket is included in the therapy session!

Ralf Schmitz has had enough: “Oh my goodness! Do we really have to scrutinize every single hair before we split it?”

Ralf has a mission! He will prove that we would all have more fun in life if we didn’t take everything so seriously and so precisely. And Ralf takes this mission very seriously and very precisely!
He is on the hunt for the Schmitzfindigkeiten of everyday madness that makes us all endearingly quirky and pleasantly crazy. And he finds plenty of it!

Like a naturalist, he zooms into the panopticon of embarrassingly human fussiness. He examines himself and all of us closely, looking at hands, mouths, and quirks. And if necessary, all the way into our bedroom. Not yours, but maybe your neighbors'! And you surely don’t want to miss that!
He meticulously dissects the results of his ridiculous field studies with razor-sharp gags and full physical commitment in his new stage program Schmitzfindigkeiten!

And where valid data is missing, it only gets funnier! Because, of course, like in every program of this exceptional artist, there is impro-comedy at the highest level! But never beyond the pain threshold! It will only hurt from laughter when a firework of unexpected punchlines, quirky sketches, and questionable dance and music acts comes flying at you.

And the best part is, Ralf brings us salvation. For after this evening, the meaning of life is clear. There is none. We can only be glad that we don't have to hunt anymore when we can't even decide among 12,000 varieties of yogurt in the supermarket.

Selflessly, as he is, he has also tested a craft set promoted on social media, with which one can make plaster casts of their best part. A great Valentine's Day gift. You just need a lot of plaster. Because, of course, it won't work on the first try.

And when Ralf effortlessly slips into the roles of celebrities, recounts a very private relationship story solely through quirky television clips, and then morphs into a flirt coach, it's clear: we are all crazy!

And the king of the crazy invites you to an audience and a very special evening full of Schmitzfindigkeiten!

Doors open: 7 PM
