• Where did all the wood come from?
• How did the wine get in and out?
• What is the last secret of the barrel that the builder took to the grave?
All these questions will be answered – and at the end, you will be one of the initiated regarding the famous Dürkheim Giant Barrel and toast to it – with a glass of sparkling wine or a non-alcoholic beverage.

Peter Beck, better known as the notoriously grumpy caretaker "Begge Peder," is back and causing mischief on German cabaret stages. With horn-rimmed glasses, work overalls, and creepy crooked teeth, the most Hessian of all caretakers shares tales of his everyday experiences in the broadest dialect – and leaves the last of his spectators rolling with laughter! The ideas for his performances come from the comedian Peter Beck's real life. However, when he stands on stage as Begge Peder, the Hessian really minces no words! He gossips and grumbles to his heart's content and finds fault with just about everything and everyone! Nevertheless, the audience has long since taken this quirky caretaker to heart... Especially fans of the Hessian dialect should not miss a performance by Begge Peder. Secure your tickets now and laugh along as Germany's grumpiest caretaker takes the stage!

Synopsis:
Marion Crane gets lost in the deserted motel of sensitive mama's boy Norman Bates ... and screams film history.
Alfred Hitchcock's most famous film is a watershed moment in film history. Premiering in US cinemas on June 16, 1960, PSYCHO fundamentally changed the audience's expectations regarding sex, violence, and horror. The Braunschweig International Film Festival and the State Orchestra Braunschweig invite you to the revival of PSYCHO in the 23rd year of their collaboration and once again teach us to fear.
The American composer Bernard Herrmann (1911–1975) already makes waves with his film music debut, Orson Welles' CITIZEN KANE (1941). From 1955 to 1966, Herrmann composes eight film scores for Hitchcock. He becomes immortal with the dissonant, high-pitched screeching violins during the shower murder scene. In his score, Hermann notes at this point: "fortissimo brutale." For the American Film Institute, the brutal, driving string music of PSYCHO is one of the "Top 5 Greatest Film Scores of All Time."

The opening film concert is presented in cooperation with the State Orchestra Braunschweig and the State Theatre Braunschweig and is supported by the Braunschweig Cultural Heritage Foundation.

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

This year open on two weekends! In front of the magnificent Orangerie, around 120 exhibitors await visitors with bright pagoda tents. And in the twilight of the approaching winter, one can sweeten the wait for the Advent season with a romantic stroll in a splendid setting. Wintertime is decoration time and the right moment to treat oneself. In this relaxed atmosphere, visitors can gain a variety of inspirations and ideas. Lanterns, stars, homemade candles, and of course beautiful Advent arrangements – the selection is fantastic! But not only homemade goods and winter floristry play a role. Unique Christmas cards, handicrafts, finely crafted nativity figures, and Christmas gnomes round off the offered range of pre-Christmas items.

“I have never read a greater drama on fewer pages. This story is masterfully constructed, built with unparalleled suspense.” This is what Elke Heidenreich says about the story of two friends, Max and Martin, who run a gallery together in San Francisco until Martin returns to his native Munich in 1932.

The Jew Max, who remains in America, worries about his sister due to the political developments in Germany, where she works as a young actress in Berlin. Actually being persecuted by the SA, the Jewish woman seeks refuge with Martin in Munich. Martin, who has now become a confessor and beneficiary of the new regime, refuses to help her, triggering a catastrophe.

As a result, his former friend Max makes a surprising decision that gives the plot a completely unexpected turn... The staging of this epistolary novel presents an emotional and gripping story that sets an equally brilliant and timeless mark against the emergence and dangers of totalitarian systems.

Doors open: 19:30 | Duration: 70 minutes without intermission
