Anno 1926 “Radolfzell celebrates 1100 years”
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.
(W)Places write history – connecting stories: writing and reading for everyone
The writing group “Miteinander schreiben” meets twice a month at TeggIn in Teggingerstraße 10 to write together. To mark the town’s anniversary, the group goes in search of traces of Radolfzell personalities at various locations and writes texts in, around and about Radolfzell. The writing group presents the texts in neighborhood meetings, outdoors and in cultural institutions. Thanks to the funding, a guided visit to the city museum and two specialist workshops can be realized: a theater pedagogical training course to train voice, expression and stage presence as well as a workshop under the guidance of an experienced author and 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.

Arriving in Radolfzell?
Today, people from over 110 countries of origin live in Radolfzell. While some feel very connected to the city, others still experience invisibility, a lack of opportunities to help shape the city or even exclusion.
Am I from Radolfzell or Radolfzell? Am I German?
Am I Turkish? Am I both? Am I neither?
Belonging and identification are not only a question of citizenship and political participation opportunities, but also part of a cultural identification process that requires mutual respect and recognition.
The multi-part research and encounter project explores the question of how people with a history of migration and their descendants identify with the city of Radolfzell today. In four consecutive modules – storytelling project, city walk, dialog round and creative workshop – participants from different backgrounds and age groups come together to develop personal perspectives and common views. By combining different methods, the aim is to create a dialog between the generations, make cultural and social participation more visible and ideally provide impetus for various institutions.
The project is looking for people with a history of migration in Radolfzell (1st to 3rd generation) and from different backgrounds, school pupils and young people, senior citizens and people without a history of migration – as listeners and contributors. Social and cultural institutions in particular can act as venues for the dialog round and the creative workshop. A joint closing event is planned for November 2026.
Anyone interested in sharing their migration story can send an email to handan.aksuenger-kizil@univie.ac.at.
Radolfzell on the move
“Radolfzell in motion” transforms the market square into a lively sports arena where various stations are set up in the open air. Each station offers a different sporting challenge and is supervised by local clubs, which can thus present themselves to a wide audience. The clubs will also provide on-site catering. The marketplace becomes a meeting place where visitors can linger, watch and, above all, get active themselves – whether in friendly competition or trying out new disciplines. The requirements are deliberately designed so that all age groups and people with disabilities can participate equally and experience the fun of movement and community together.
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. In line with the school’s concept, care will be taken to incorporate inclusive elements into the exhibition. Follow-up projects can then be implemented at the school.
City rally of the Radolfzell daycare centers
Together with the Seehund children’s store and the Seepferdchen crèche, the Catholic daycare centres in Radolfzell are organizing a town rally where children and parents can explore the town centre in a fun way. Families collect stamps at several stations in the city center with the help of running cards. Those who complete the minimum number of stations receive an ice cream voucher as a prize, which can be redeemed at the Hausherrenfest. All interested families can take part.
