Percussion meets accordion

There is a special musical highlight for the anniversary year:

The Radolfzell Accordion Orchestra (conducted by Rudi Hartmann) and the percussion ensemble of the ”
” Music School in Radolfzell (conducted by Martin Deufel) will

perform a collaborative piece, *
*, in the Small Hall of the Milchwerk Radolfzell.

In this world premiere, these very different ensembles gradually come together musically over the course of *
*, a four-movement work.
The sounds of these instruments are historically rooted in very different styles and eras,
and they are not always the same.

A wide range of musical influences will come together to form “
.” Both groups of musicians have long been open to the music of the
world and a wide variety of genres.

Thus, the soundscape you’ll hear will extend far beyond the clichés of tango, jazz, marches, and so on
. Classical polyphony is and always will be a means of expression; layered sounds
—as found in film scores—along with techniques of classical modernism and the grooves of popular music
span a wide range.

If you still can’t picture what this music is like, you’re right—
: it didn’t exist until now!

So the motto is: Come, listen, be amazed, and enjoy! It certainly won’t be a lecture—
—but rather an enjoyable evening of music that will feel like it goes by “too quickly.”

Who was Radolt?

The exhibition “Who was Radolt?” deals with the questions of why and since when the school has borne its name. Together with the pupils, the historical background of Bishop Radolt, his work in Radolfzell and the naming of Ratoldus School are explored. The aim is to create a small exhibition about the life and work of Ratoldus and his significance for Radolfzell today. To this end, the pupils will get to know historical work and learn more about the town’s history. The knowledge gained will be presented in a portable permanent exhibition in the school building and shared with the wider school community with the help of information texts on the school website. The exhibition can be seen for the first time on Thursday, 18.06.2026, from 16.00 to 18.00 in the Ratoldus School building. The exhibition is inclusive and barrier-free.

(W)Places write history – connecting stories: writing and reading for everyone

For over three years, eight women who couldn’t be more different have been writing together regularly: the “Miteinander schreiben” group. The women meet twice a month at the TeggIn meeting point at Teggingerstraße 10 to get creative together. For their readings as part of the town’s anniversary celebrations, the writing group went in search of personalities who are important to Radolfzell. Her texts show how many ways you can approach Radolfzell and the people who live and lived here through literature.

The eight women will present the results of their work at three readings, each with new texts: Friday, June 12, 2 – 2:45 p.m. in Böhringen at Sägemühle 1 (outdoors) and Saturday, Oct. 17, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. in the city library, Marktplatz 8. The reading in the multi-generation house will be accompanied by Christiane Hermann and Christina Bretzke on the accordion.

The project is a civic project sponsored by the city to mark the city’s anniversary. Thanks to the funding, the “Miteinander schreiben” group was able to hold various workshops under professional guidance: a theater pedagogy training course to train voice, expression and stage presence as well as workshops under the guidance of an experienced writing coach. The aim of the group is to experience the joy of writing together, to promote intergenerational dialog and to appeal to people of all ages and from different cultural backgrounds and to inspire them to write. Anyone interested is cordially invited to come to the group meetings. Info: Mehrgenerationenhaus der Diakonie, Tel. 7732 952786.

In an exhibition, the Förderverein Museum und Stadtgeschichte Radolfzell e. V. presents 40 impressive impressions of the anniversary celebrations that took place in Radolfzell exactly 100 years ago. The historical glass plate photographs from the Moriell family’s picture archive provide a fascinating insight into the festivities and atmosphere of the town at that time. Thanks to targeted funding, the original glass plates have been restored and reproduced. The prints, which were then printed in large format, will be made available to the public in a free exhibition in the town library.
