She is the sunshine to his storm clouds. He is the wind beneath her wings. Tara's life is planned out: She studies veterinary medicine to one day take over the family practice. When she decides to go to Canada for an internship, it leads to a heated argument with her parents. Nevertheless, Tara sets off. Shortly after her arrival, she is supposed to accompany Jaimie, the grumpy ranger who can't stand her from the start, on a research trip. On their way through the Rocky Mountains, past hidden waterfalls and breathtaking lakes, they have to get along in close quarters. Slowly, Jaimie starts to thaw, and there's a powerful spark between them.

Alex Christensen has been one of Germany's most successful music producers and DJs since the 90s and was a leading initiator of the techno, dance, and eurodance movement at that time.

With hits like "Das Boot," "United," or the summer hit of 1990, "Ritmo de la noche," he achieved cult status on the dance floors.

World stars like "Paul Anka" or "Right Said Fred" trusted him musically, and with his spirit of innovation, he managed to catapult the hits of the 90s into the present day.

AIRFIELD ROCK 2024

Alex Beyrodt & Friends feat. Thomas Blug, BONFIRE, The Pink Floyd Project

From August 22, 2024, to August 24, 2024, the backdrop of the Wallerfangen/Düren airfield transforms into an open-air concert stage for the first time. Over three days, from August 22, 2024, to August 24, 2024, the airfield will be dedicated to rock and hard rock music.

The event kicks off on August 22, 2024, with Alex Beyrodt & Friends feat. Thomas Blug. Guests can expect honest and handmade rock music of the highest caliber with two of the best guitarists in the Southwest. Alex and Friends, a household name nationwide. Alex Beyrodt, composer, guitarist, and producer, has once again achieved a career highlight with his musical friends. Alex travels worldwide with his rock and metal bands, Primal Fear, Sinner, or Voodo Circle. Additionally, he is a key part of the successful series "Rock meets Classic," featuring orchestras and guest stars like Ian Gillan, Steve Lukather, Alice Cooper, Don Felder, Steve Winwood, just to name a few. With the project Alex and Friends, he gathers his musical and personal friends - and these friends are truly remarkable. Thomas Blug, does this name still need an introduction? A renowned German rock guitarist, the best European Stratocaster player, and an amp sound designer known worldwide.

On vocals, David Readman from England, the rock pipes known for his work with Pink Cream 69, who shook up the European charts in the '90s. On drums, Tommy Fischer, the friendly Hessian who played with Guildo Horn for 10 years, is a regular at Thomas Blug's Rockanarchy and is a member of the Woodstock legend Miller Anderson's band, who showed Santana at Woodstock in 1969 how to set up his amp. Last but not least, on bass and vocals, Rudi “Gulli” Spiller joins Alex and his band crew. As a co-founder and permanent member of Rockanarchy, he is widely recognized, at least in Germany. Names like Mick Rogers (MM Earthband), Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson), or Phil X (Bon Jovi) are just a few big names that have shared the stage with "Gulli" and his Rockanarchy.

The concert series "AIRFIELD ROCK 2024" continues on August 23, 2024, with the legendary German hard rock band "BONFIRE". Bonfire is considered one of the best hard rock bands in Germany, and in 2018, they performed at the legendary Wacken Open Air. Bonfire has released 14 albums to date, with sales totaling over 6.5 million worldwide. Originally from Ingolstadt, Germany, and founded in 1972 as Cacumen, the band renamed itself Bonfire in 1986. Hans Ziller and Bonfire have enjoyed over 40 years of success, celebrating significant achievements along the way. These include tours with Judas Priest and ZZ Top, a gold record for Fireworks in Germany, multiple album chart entries in various countries, appearances on ZDF TV Rockgarten in 2020 and 2021, and the classic "You Make Me Feel" reaching over 25 million views on YouTube. Bonfire has diligently worked on a significant project to be released in 2023 on AFM Records.

This project includes a book biography by Hans Ziller, a Bonfire documentary, and re-recordings of the first 3 Bonfire albums, DON'T TOUCH THE LIGHT, FIREWORKS, and POINT BLANK. Bonfire is globally recognized for their great songwriting, catchy melodies, and heavy metal-infused musicality.

Completing the "AIRFIELD ROCK 2024" series on August 24, 2044, is the currently most popular Pink Floyd tribute band from St. Wendel, "The Pink Floyd Project".

50 years ago, Pink Floyd released "The Dark Side Of The Moon," one of the most successful albums of all time. The Pink Floyd Project's show is inspired by this album, bringing the songs from "The Dark Side Of The Moon" closer to their audience in a unique live performance. The Pink Floyd Project from St. Wendel in Saarland has been captivating its audience with authenticity and power for over 16 years, unmatched by many others in the tribute scene. Thanks to the band members' musical prowess and a clear, impactful sound, The Pink Floyd Project delivers emotional effects similar to the original's celebrated style, from the ethereal, atmospheric songs of "Shine on you crazy Diamond" to "Hey You." An exceptional open-air experience awaits the visitors.

Geo Tour
Discovering Geological History

There's nothing more exciting than a treasure hunt. Our treasure trove is over 250 million years old and full to the brim - the Rüdersdorf limestone quarry. After a brief scientific introduction at the 'Otto Torell House,' our knowledgeable guides will take you on a geological tour of the active quarry in Rüdersdorf.

At the collection point, it's time to roll up your sleeves and keep your eyes open. We can't promise you'll find a dinosaur here, but fossils are literally as abundant as sand by the sea. By the way, that's exactly what brought the animals we find here to this place.

250 million years ago, this area was underwater, part of the Triassic Sea, and its former inhabitants are now found in the rocks. Our geological tour is a little adventure with plenty of discoveries. Our guides will be there to assist you throughout the tour.

Transportation to and from the collection point is by off-road vehicle, over rough terrain.

Since the quarry is active, special safety regulations apply. Helmets, goggles, high visibility vests, and hammers are provided. Sturdy ankle-high shoes are recommended. The open quarry area is exposed to weather conditions, so there may be dust development during prolonged dry spells and slippery/muddy conditions during extended rainy periods. The terrain is sloping, and the tour requires good physical fitness. By participating in the geological tour, you agree to the safety regulations. These can be viewed on-site or downloaded here.

Duration of the tour approximately 2 hours
Minimum age is 6 years old.
Please arrive at the Museumspark ticket office, Heinitzstraße 9 in 15562 Rüdersdorf near Berlin, approximately 10 minutes before the tour starts.
Minimum of 5 participants required.

Already from 2004 to 2013, Rosenau, together with Theater Rampe, Theaterhaus, Literaturhaus, and Laboratorium, annually organized the "Viennese Week" festival. The idea was to focus on Vienna/Austria for a week and specifically invite cabaret artists, writers, authors, and theater productions from there to Stuttgart. The series "Wiener Blut" now picks up on this idea again. Throughout the year, various Austrian cabaret artists will present their programs at Rosenau: Social, political, and interpersonal topics are entertainingly brought to the stage in a cabaret style! And everything is a bit more biting, sinister, ironic, quirky, and often more poetic than from German territory.
The subscription consists of the following 6 events:
- 09.02.24 Benedikt Mitmannsgruber with "The strange case of Benedikt Mitmannsgruber"
- 04.04.24 Blonder Engel with "Songs that are funny and sometimes a bit sad, but that's okay"
- 19.04.24 Christine Teichmann with "Left right human rights"
- 11.09.24 Magda Leeb with "Pigging out"
- 04.10.24 Blözinger with "New Program"
- 23.10.24 Hosea Ratschiller with "HOSEA"

Guided tour through the old town, the historical rooms of the city palace, and the cathedral
In addition to the Baroque quarter, the old town is the second major historic district in Fulda. Medieval half-timbered houses, the city walls with well-preserved defensive towers, guild churches, old market squares, and street names indicating their function in the Middle Ages characterize the cityscape here.
The highlight of the Baroque quarter is the residence palace in the city center. Between 1706 and 1714, the palace was significantly expanded in the Baroque style by Johann Dientzenhofer, the master builder of the Baroque cathedral, as the residence of the prince-abbots and later prince-bishops.
The cathedral is not only the most famous landmark of Fulda, but above all, it is the most important Baroque church in Hesse. Since the elevation of the Abbey of Fulda to a principality, the church has been a cathedral and therefore the bishop's church.
Let yourself be enchanted by the history and splendor of our city and join us on this 2-hour tour!
Note:
If a church service or event takes place during the tour, we will only admire the cathedral from the outside. But even that is impressive enough!

Oliver and Michael have enjoyed a true friendship for years. They play tennis, enjoy a glass of wine, and exchange thoughts. The two are close, as friends typically are. However, when they wake up one morning naked and handcuffed to each other in Oliver's guest bed, their friendship is put to the test. They never wanted to get that close! And why can neither Oliver nor Michael explain how it happened? Emily, Oliver's better half who returns from a trip too early, would also like an explanation for the compromising situation in which she finds the two men – as well as Michael's wife Nicole, who also joins the trio.

Doors open at 7:20 PM.
