The Criminal Dinner 'Bloodbath in the City Council' - a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish setting surrounded by an exciting criminal case at the Welde Brauhaus in Schwetzingen.

'Bloodbath in the City Council'

Imagine a tranquil place in the beautiful Baden region. Surrounded by rivers, meadows, and hilly landscapes lies Muggenhofen. The small village, far away from any hustle and bustle of the big city, exciting nightlife, or hectic activity, invites you to find your home there in steadfast tranquility.

Everything has been running in the same consistency for decades, day after day, year after year, until the day when the universally esteemed head of the community, the mayor of Muggenhofen, is found murdered.
A murder in Muggenhofen? And then also the mayor? Police Chief Gustav Heberlein is facing a puzzle. With his suitcase typewriter and his lunch box, he sets out to find the murderer. Could the culprit be from the ranks of the close-knit village community? Was it a newcomer, outsider, or even a local resident? What does Eulalia Schreiblinger have to do with the story and how involved is she in the machinations of the city council?

The multi-course menu is created and served by the Welde Brauhaus. The crime dinner will open at 7 pm, guaranteeing thrills for the nerves and palate. Doors open at 6:30 pm.

Doors open: 6:30 pm / Menu and theater performance are included in the price / Table and seat assignments will be made on-site

What does a general director need, whose contract extension is in jeopardy and whose operation is crumbling and seething on all sides? Of course, a big success! A new play! Best written by an up-and-coming young author and directed by a successful young director - that's sure to win back the hearts of local cultural politics. In this theater farce, where everyone only thinks of themselves and the staff get lost in small wars, a desperate theater chief takes action:
He opens a portal through which demons escape and transform the theater into a Dionysian chaos...
"It is a bombastic fireworks display, a gigantic parody of the theater industry and how we talk about theater - about all that we currently reflect on in the theater," raved Deutschlandfunk after the premiere of the new play by Nis-Momme Stockmann in January 2024. To close the series of premieres of the play in the Grand Theatre, the theater itself takes a hit and the Aachen audience enjoys a comedy festival.

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

The Art and Natural History Chamber is considered the oldest German museum room. It was established by August Hermann Francke for educational purposes and is now once again set up according to the original museum concept of the 18th century in its historical location in the attic of the Historical Orphanage.

Eighteen richly decorated collection cabinets house approximately 3000 natural specimens, curiosities, and artifacts. They provide a unique impression of a Baroque cabinet of curiosities. Unlike modern museums, the chamber follows an encyclopedic collecting approach. A distinction is made between natural specimens and artifacts. The natural specimens are divided into rocks, plants, and animals, while the artifacts are categorized into visual arts, calligraphy, coins, everyday culture, and clothing. The goal was to create a mirror image of the world: a microcosm that made the macrocosm as the wonderful creation of God tangible.

In a series of events, art projects take place around the Art and Natural History Chamber. In the so-called "Contemporary Reflections on the Art and Natural History Chamber," foundations invite artists to engage in an artistic dialogue with the chamber.

Tue-Sun 10am-5pm

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

4 talers and 16 groschen are considered the founding capital of the Francke Foundations. How an unparalleled school city grew from this unexpected donation to a simple pastor in Glaucha can be discovered on the ground floor of the Historical Orphanage. A multimedia installation and numerous extraordinary objects will transport you into the fascinating founding and impact history of Francke's work. Because what began with a school for the poor and an orphanage, developed in a few decades into a true reform project that was based on education: Over 2,000 students learned in various schools, specially constructed economic buildings, a hospital, and a pharmacy guaranteed the care of over 3,000 people on the premises, unique cultural-historical collections in the library and chamber of wonders were established, and Francke's ideas were spread within and outside Europe. August Hermann Francke wanted nothing less than a "world change through personal change." Discover everything he set in motion through this.

10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Culinary delight and thrill: Guests at the Alte Brauerei in Karlsruhe are offered a lot: exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. The COMEDY Kriminal Dinner – this is a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by a crime play:

“Testament à la Carte“ - a testament opening with a bite!

Prof. William Chattney is dead. He was a famous scientist. However, before the will can be read, the life of the deceased must be reconstructed with the help of the guests. It's really not a problem, if it weren't for Detective Johnson. He is investigating, as Chattney's death is considered a violent crime.

Who killed Chattney and how? What was he researching? And what secret did he take to the grave? Notary Mr. Green and his loyal assistant Manfred have their hands full: They are reviewing the surveillance cameras of the estate, reading with the help of Herbert Wandschneider from the future, and Dr. Sten-Gelle combines cosmic energy with science, all to solve the puzzle. In the end, however, it is Extrem Norbert, who, supported by the audience, initiates the twist.

The actors spontaneously involve the audience repeatedly through their long-standing experience as improvisation artists in the crime story. Culinary delights and entertainment, unpredictable developments and amazing twists alternate.

The two performers use a variety of expression tools, playing several characters and having a keen sense for the audience. Their joy of playing is hardly containable and delights the audience. "The sparkling uncertainty and the moment of surprise – both in the audience and on stage – is what makes the excitement."

The seductive multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at the Alte Brauerei. The thrill for nerves and palate begins at 7 PM, doors open at 6:30 PM.

Doors open: 6:30 PM / Menu and theater play are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on-site.

Hillu's Herzdropfa are sure:
"What else does a person want, than to be a true Swabian"

This program is a parody about the land and people in the Swabian region!
Many writers write about us Albians: "Hard like its soil, the Albian is tough and reserved, yet not without wit."

Hillu's Herzdropfa are convinced that their Albian dialect is the language of their hearts!
Dialect is the language of everyday life and is nowadays mainly used in private and family spaces.
However, Hillu's Herzdropfa bring their dialect to the stage, thus keeping their so-called Albian dialect in use as the "language of their hearts"!

Dialect is not a language of the elderly, as Hillu's Herzdropfa have experienced!
Younger generations do not use the dialect as much for communication, yet they appreciate the value of their/our dialect.
Let yourself be introduced in our program "Our Holy Dialect" to the everyday life of the Albswabians and their dialect!

Hillu's Herzdropfa: We are proud that the dear Lord has created our Alb just for us!

Doors open: 7:00 PM
