On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the demolition of the city wall of Trier in 2025, an exhibition at the city museum deals with the city wall and the development of the city. Starting from the remnants of the wall that came to light during excavations in the cellar of the Simeonstift during the construction work for the extension, which clearly shows the intertwining of antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modernity, the exhibition connects to the time of the wall's demolition and the present.

Jingle Hells Bells!

When the last fat Christmas carp, along with the side dish, is digested, it's time to dance off that holiday weight!
As a health-conscious cultural institution, SCHANZ recommends extreme headbanging to the hard riffs of the one and only true AC/DC cover band. A therapy that has been working perfectly for us on the 2nd day of Christmas for years!

Even after more than a quarter of a century, AB/CD effortlessly transforms every concert into a party, whether in halls, live clubs, or at open-air festivals. In the late 90s, Dimi Deeds joined the band and embodies Angus Young so perfectly that he has become the focus of the performances for the fans.

Since 2003, the band led by Andy Kirchner has decided not to hold back, but to go all out and recruit two singers - Paul McGilley from London and Massimo Leone from Rome. With the concept Bon Scott meets Brian Johnson, fans from both camps are brought together – T.N.T, Highway to Hell, Hells Bells, Thunderstruck – let's rock!

The fox is in a deep existential crisis due to his harmlessness. Not even the smallest bird is afraid of him. He has even become a vegetarian, albeit involuntarily. The she-wolf helps him devise a plan: the fox steals eggs on the farm to satisfy his appetite for meat with the hatching chicks. But the plan goes awry - the small, sweet chicks mistake him for their mommy! And the fox falls for their affection. What to do now? Especially since the she-wolf finally wants her share of the little chicks.

GERMAN BRASS "It's Christmas Time" Tour 2024

On the program:
Works by J.S. Bach, Handel, Telemann, among others.

There is only one group like this: Ten top musicians form the extraordinary, highly professional brass ensemble GERMAN BRASS. With four trumpets, two horns, three trombones, and a tuba, they have significantly shaped the brass culture over the decades and have become Europe's most successful brass ensemble. Their special specialty is outstanding arrangements of classical music; the repertoire includes works by Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, or Tchaikovsky. But jazz, film music interpretation, or even pop are also part of GERMAN BRASS's program.

The ensemble was founded in 1974 - 50 years ago! Since then, they have continuously worked on their success story and have filled concert halls at home and abroad. Over the years, new appointments have been handled with ease, and an enormous musical treasure trove has been compiled. Thus, brass turned into gold!

The Merry Widow - Operetta by Franz Lehár - Johann-Strauss-Operetta-Wien

The Merry Widow is the most successful operetta by Franz Lehár. Famous titles like "Lippen schweigen," "Da geh‘ ich zu Maxim," and "Ja, das Studium der Weiber ist schwer" promise an entertaining evening. Singing soloists from Vienna, orchestra, choir, and ballet from the Johann-Strauss-Operetta-Wien present the exciting story with beautiful music in a classic production with magnificent costumes and a traditional stage design.

For family reasons, Count Danilo was not allowed to marry Hanna, a girl from the countryside. While he tries to forget his worries about this marriage prohibition with the grisettes, Hanna manages to marry the wealthy banker Glawari, who dies on their wedding night. As a rich widow, Hanna is very sought after by men. Danilo's love for Hanna reignites, but he is afraid to confess it to her - fearing that he would also be accused of only being interested in her money. But the situation becomes even more complicated. Hanna announces her engagement to Camille de Rosillon in order to protect Valencienne, who flirts with Camille and is almost caught by her husband. Only when this incident is resolved and Hanna pretends she cannot dispose of her inheritance, can Hanna and Danilo finally embrace.

Doors open: 19:00.

Actually, everything happened by accident: First, Dominik "Dodokay" Kuhn taught Darth Vader, Barack Obama, the German Bundestag, and many others Swabian on YouTube & Co., and then in 2014 he also landed on stage with his own stand-up comedy show. Since then, the Dodokay train has been racing worldwide through all of Swabia, stopping at as many stations as possible.
Ten years of Dodokay live on stage - it's clear that the new show "I bin's selber" is celebrating the anniversary! Of course, there will be brand new synchronizations on the brought screen again, but the tour is also an opportunity to look back on ten years on stage. In addition to highlights from this time, Dodokay's famously infamous stand-ups will also provide answers to new burning questions that no one has asked: Why do Swabians mostly say the opposite of what they think? What is the SV49 actually doing? Who voices all the characters in the videos? Is it actually Dodokay himself?
Those who know Dodokay's show must see this one too; those who don't know it, even more so. In any case, with Dodokay, three things are guaranteed: It will be funny, he will speak Swabian, and it's him himself.

After Tabaluga found reason in the first part, he embarks on another fantastic journey.

Long, long ago, dragons once lived and protected the world from the cold of ice with the warmth of their fire. But over time, the ice began to destroy all living things. Arktos, a terrible snowman, aspires to cover the world with ice. The old dragon, Tyrion, wants to prepare his young son, Tabaluga, for his predetermined task of protecting the world. But for that, Tabaluga must find the True Fire, as only that can put an end to Arktos' schemes. With the support of a magician, Tabaluga sets out to find the fire, facing many dangers, such as the Spiderwoman Tarantula, and discovering beautiful things along the way. Tabaluga learns that the world, with all its good and evil, is wonderful and worth saving. Arktos wants to prevent Tabaluga from fulfilling his destiny and creates a beautiful being out of pure ice, the girl Lilli. Lilli's only task is to distract Tabaluga from his search for the True Fire. As planned by Arktos, Tabaluga falls in love with Lilli, but this allows him to discover a great and beautiful power: Love.

"Tabaluga und Lilli" is a fantastic live family experience. With great dedication to the original, Tabaluga's adventures are transformed into a fairytale musical version for the whole family. Loving costumes and innovative stage designs bring the world of the little dragon to life. The well-known hits, including those by Peter Maffay, offer the best entertainment for boys and girls from the age of four, and for anyone who wants to awaken their inner child again.

An evil sorcerer has transformed the beautiful young princess Odette into a swan when she ventured too close to the shore of his lake.

For many, it has become synonymous with ballet. Furthermore, the music for Swan Lake is considered one of the most beautiful ballet scores of all time.

The story will be brought to the audience by the charismatic actress Melinda Thompson as a narrator, who captivates young and old with catchy little poems full of wit, charm, and love.

Welcome to the home of Jever Pilsener.

Jever Pilsener comes from Jever. And that is located in a very special part of Germany: in Friesland. The water, the air, the light, and not least the rough climate have shaped the Frisian landscape and Jever Pilsener. We invite you to explore the secrets of Jever - on an exciting brewery tour!

The brewery tour begins with a knowledgeable guided tour through the historic brewery museum and through our modern brew house from the brewing plant to the bottling, where up to 60,000 bottles are filled per hour.
The ongoing bottle filling is very likely on weekdays, but due to possible maintenance, cleaning, and setup work, this is not guaranteed in every case.
Especially on Friday afternoons and Saturdays, the bottling is relatively likely not to be in operation. We ask for your understanding in advance.

After the tour, we offer a tasting (30 minutes) of our Jever beers with a choice of two glasses of Jever Pilsener, Jever Fun, Jever Fun Lemon, Jever Fun Blood Orange, or Jever Light for everyone aged 16 and over. Non-alcoholic drinks are also available.
In addition, our brewery taproom serves a homemade snack and presents a souvenir.
For children and teenagers (up to 15 years), a soft drink and a small snack will be served.

Adults 16 and over 19.90 euros
Youth/Children 6 to 16 years 9.90 euros*
Children up to 5 years free*
(*only accompanied by an adult)

Duration of the event: 2 hours

--> Maximum group size: 20 people

We do not offer tours on Mondays, Sundays, or public holidays in Lower Saxony.
We also ask for your understanding that at the moment, for organizational reasons, we can only offer the dates shown online and no additional dates.

One last word:
Safety is very important to us. We ask that during the tour, you strictly follow the instructions of the brewery guides. Wearing sturdy footwear and carrying an umbrella in bad weather is recommended. As a precaution, we would like to point out that our brew house is not wheelchair accessible. There are longer walking paths and stairs to navigate. Therefore, the tour is unfortunately not suitable for people with walking disabilities and wheelchair users.
