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.

COMEDY
JAN PREUSS - DER (V)ERZIEHER
NO BUILDING BAN

Now there’s a no building ban!

The daycare centers and schools are at their staffing limit, parents come with strange demands, children are going more and more crazy, are overwhelmed, yet they are also supposed to make every decision by themselves. Is there even anything left to laugh about?

Oh yes! The most famous (V)ERZIEHER in Germany demonstrates this again nationwide in his third show "No Building Ban".

Jan Preuß expresses what other educators often don’t even dare to think. He shows why children, contrary to every theory, actually understand irony, how to effectively counter parents, and just how absurd some rules in everyday pedagogy really are.

At the same time, he also poses serious questions: How many educators will there really be in 20 years? Where are we full of hope, aiming to create good people while battling our own hypocrisy? But don’t worry, even here the (V)ERZIEHER finds appropriate, funny answers. With humor, this job can indeed be endured much better.

The permanent exhibition on the life and work of Erich Maria Remarque offers a detailed look into the life, work, and thoughts of the famous writer through numerous photographs, documents, and manuscripts. The exhibition is bilingual, presented in German and English throughout.

Divided into seven sections covering his youth in Osnabrück (1898–1921), the years in Hanover and Berlin (1922–1928), the discussion around All Quiet on the Western Front (1928–1930), his exile in Europe (1931–1939) and the USA (1939–1948), his political works in the 1950s, and the 1960s leading up to his death on September 25, 1970 in Locarno, the exhibition attempts to highlight the ruptures, contradictions, and controversies in Remarque's life while emphasizing their productivity for his work. It illustrates Remarque's numerous psychological conflicts, aiming to resolve the apparent contradiction between the "bon vivant" and the "militant pacifist," and provides insight into his acquaintances, friendships, and marriages. Numerous originals such as the death mask or Remarque's original desk complement the presentation.

Another focus of the exhibition is the worldwide, often highly controversial reception of Remarque's works, which have been translated into at least 60 languages and continue to attract a global audience of millions.

An information terminal allows visitors to delve deeper into specific questions about Remarque's life and work. Another terminal provides access to over 2,000 photographs spanning all stages of Remarque's life, his residences, contacts, and the film adaptations of his works.

The exhibition is open for free visits on Tuesdays to Fridays from 10 am to 1 pm and from 3 pm to 5 pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm. Guided tours for school classes and other interest groups can also be arranged outside regular opening hours. Tours can be scheduled with Mr. Martin Siemsen (siemsen.m@osnabrueck.de) by phone at 0541/323-2109 or fax at 0541/323-4355.

A shop on-site offers materials related to Remarque's life and work for sale.

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.

In the already fifth tour program of ventriloquist Sebastian Reich, it gets exciting: It will be musical, magical, emotional, romantic, interactive, and above all, funny! While Amanda likes to improvise, Sebastian leaves nothing to chance, at least that’s his plan. If it weren't for Amanda, who is particularly looking forward to reuniting with old acquaintances, such as the Franconian mole Schorsch. He and other guests will provide a captivating mix and a journey into the crazy world of spontaneity this time.
No show will be the same as another, that is what Amanda will ensure! Because she has mainly one thing in mind: Moments that simply arise out of nowhere, from which then crazy stories develop.
New ideas meet classics from 20 years of stage life. Spontaneous improvisations mix with interactive moments. An unpredictability that makes the special charm of the show!
“With the new tour 'Purer Zufall' we are sure to present the most varied show we have ever been on tour with. It is particularly important to me that we address all age groups again. We look forward to a colorful audience, from singles to families, from children to retirees, to friends & colleagues who just want to spend a fun evening together,” says Sebastian Reich.
A fireworks display of comedy and humor with a mix of quirky stories, interactive performances, and the magic of chance. That the laughing muscles are put to the test is anything but coincidence!

„Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss“
The live tour of bestselling author and gardening expert Katrin Iskam
She is notorious, she is unique, and she is definitely crazy. She doesn’t just have ONE green thumb, but two. “Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss” is not only her motto but also the title of her current gardening comedy live tour.
We are talking about Katrin Iskam, a trained and active nurse, but above all, the hottest discovery in the local gardening scene. Because who digs, shovels, and excavates in rubber boots and a nightgown? Exactly, only “Katrinchen,” as she is lovingly called by her fans. And there are now quite a few. More than 220,000 on her Instagram page @katrinsgarten, which won the 1st place at the German Garden Book Prize. The self-taught gardener is a four-time SPIEGEL bestseller author and entertainer. Born and raised in the Altmark, she now lives in Himbergen in the Lüneburg Heath. Can a place of residence sound more like a garden? Probably not.
And that’s exactly where it is: Her garden. Her retreat. The origin of all her creative katrinsgarten constructions.
And the breeding ground for countless incredible stories. There, single-handedly, under the motto: a woman does it herself, she has already cut down 25 fir trees with a hand saw. And when the organic fertilizer accidentally lands on the Christmas tree, only “Chief Gardener” Tyson, Katrin's dachshund, is thrilled. Together they form an unbeatable team when it comes to planning, caring for, and nurturing. Then there’s Waldemar, the husband, who tends to locate the fat hen more in the chicken coop. And when Katrin advises on “getting rid of” something, it is always with the best intentions. In “Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss,” Katrin Iskam serves a wealth of practical tips and just as many funny anecdotes. “Happy Garden” in a completely different way. And if someone happens to get lost in Himbergen and stands in front of her door, “Katrinchen” also has a practical and preventive piece of advice for that: Burglary is pointless at my place, the money is in the garden.
All this and much more can be found in “Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss,” the live program by and with Katrin Iskam.

"Death Between the Lines"

Writer Herbert Söderlin was once among the most renowned authors in the country, highly praised by critics, loved by readers. But then there was a long silence from him.

The Kriminaldinner ‘Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Rievkooche (Potato Pancakes)‘ – this is a delicious multi-course menu set in a stylish ambiance surrounded by an exciting criminal case, taking place at the Rheinhotel Schulz in Unkel.

The famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and his diligent assistant, Dr. Watson, have found themselves in the Rhenish lowlands, admittedly not entirely voluntarily. However, Sherlock Holmes could not refuse the invitation of an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are, dining at just the right time in the adjoining room of the restaurant, where you will enjoy a delicious menu this evening.

While fleeing from his dining companion, the endlessly "chattering" Cologne baroness, the two investigators narrowly miss the presumed murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

True, his health condition was not the best. But to suddenly topple forward with “de Nas” into his beloved “Rievkooche” is certainly not the fine English way to die, even in the Rhineland. For Sherlock Holmes, however, the previously painfully boring evening is saved.

But perhaps you also have the solution ready, as you also have a say tonight.

The multi-course menu will be served by the gastro team at Rheinhotel Schulz, which will guarantee thrills for both nerves and taste buds. Admission is at 4:30 PM – the event begins at 5:00 PM.

Admission: 4:30 PM / Multi-course menu and theater performance are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on-site.
