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.

Despite 5 decades of stage presence, Robert Kreis sweeps through Germany without showing signs of fatigue to keep the flag of good entertainment flying high.

He revives highly comic memories of the Weimar era in his stage program and paints us a colorful, vibrant picture of the "Golden 20s" with the help of his unique musical gems.

He always has a fine nose for special texts, with which he builds bridges from yesterday to today using his unique facial expressions and pianistic skills. In doing so, he has remained unparalleled in his genre, and his theater visitors willingly let themselves be “encircled” by him!

Thus, he becomes the “circle” distributor of carefree cheerfulness, and his circle of friends continues to grow.

Let yourself be inspired by one of the last great entertainers of our time and enjoy hours full of esprit and humor!

Robert Kreis – often copied, yet never reached!

It’s time: We are starting the next season and have come up with a new project that we find extremely exciting. As already announced, we want to take a classic and dress it in a new, contemporary garment. The direction is this time shared by Janette Mickan and Benjamin Berger.

Janette Mickan is no stranger at BT; she has already visited BT with her theater collective "LUNATIKS" and the project "Blühende Randschaften." Now she returns and will work together with Benjamin Berger on Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein."
Benjamin Berger writes about his interest in the material the following:
I am fascinated by "Frankenstein" for this insane mix of megalomania, longing, and irresponsibility. A human creates life - and fails to bear the consequences. So much of today is embedded in that: genetics, AI, biotechnology - we can do more and more, but are we really allowed to do everything?
At the same time, I am touched by the theme of being different: The creature is cast out not because of its nature, but because of its appearance. This is still relevant today - discrimination, exclusion, ascription. And then it’s also about parenthood for me: What does it mean to bring something or someone into the world and take responsibility for it? Frankenstein tells of the search for identity, belonging, and humanity - and that is exactly why I want to work on it.

Everyone who wants to participate is already warmly invited to sign up - regardless of age, origin, mother tongue, and theater experience. Anyone who likes can contact chief dramaturge Carola Söllner and will receive all the information as soon as it is available.

From the official start of rehearsals, these will generally take place on Mondays from 6:45 PM to 9:45 PM. Additionally, there will be rehearsal weekends and an intensive final rehearsal phase just before the premiere.

Anyone who wants to participate - regardless of age, origin, or prior knowledge - can sign up here: buergerbuehne@brandenburgertheater.de

Entrance to the house is one hour before the performance, in the hall about 20 minutes before the performance.

Over 57 million people worldwide have already visited the exhibition. Starting January 30, 2026, plastinator Dr. Gunther von Hagens and curator Dr. Angelina Whalley will showcase their current exhibition about the human body in the cycle of creation and decay in Chemnitz: KÖRPERWELTEN & Der Zyklus des Lebens.
A variety of unique preparations, including many whole-body plastinates, guide us through the human body and clearly explain the individual organ functions as well as common diseases. The focus is on the human body and its changes over time, from conception to old age. KÖRPERWELTEN vividly demonstrates what each of us can do to maintain our health and high quality of life for as long as possible. There are only a few events that can change our perspective on ourselves so profoundly!
All specimens displayed in the exhibition are real. They come from individuals who, during their lifetime, stipulated that their bodies should be made available for the training of doctors and interested laypeople after their death.

Last admission: 5:00 PM

Doors open at 7 pm

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.

About the play
Jean-Luc and Nathalie are in love, renovating their apartment, and want to get married. Christophe and Patricia are invited to dinner by the couple and have had a fierce argument on their way there.

Patricia is new to the group, upset with Christophe, and decides to say no more – which leads the two hosts to believe she is a foreigner who cannot speak their language. This is amusing, Patricia thinks, and suddenly speaks in a made-up language, even inventing a fictional homeland somewhere in troubled Eastern Europe.

Christophe wants to sink into the ground in shame. On the other hand, Nathalie and Jean-Luc’s guest’s perfect act triggers a wave of sympathy and willingness to help: Aren't people in Patricia's homeland terribly poor? Can't this refugee be given an old blanket? Or something else long put aside that no longer functions?

“Venedig im Schnee” is a biting mix of relationship comedy and social satire – and has been one of the most performed plays in Europe since its premiere in 2003.
