Mögging Castle Festival

On the last weekend in June, the castle courtyard of the moated castle in Mögging will be the setting for the castle festival, revisiting the legendary open-air performances of the post-war period, the glittering highlight of which was the 1960 production for the 1,200th anniversary celebrations. This tradition was revived with the “Indian Princess” for Möggingen’s 1,250th anniversary celebrations in 2010 and the “Living Chess Spectacle” in 2017 on Möggingen’s village square. Among other things, this year’s play sheds light on the quartering of French officers in the castle, the involvement of individual residents of Mögging in the National Socialist movement, interpersonal conflicts during the occupation and the persistence of right-wing extremist ideas to the present day. However, the title of this year’s play “Albinle the Castle Ghost” suggests that it won’t just be about serious things. In addition to the theater performance, there will be musical entertainment afterwards: the “Alläfänzigä” from Immendingen on June 26 and the band “Sound Kitchen” on June 27. The program is complemented by a children’s afternoon on Saturday, food and drink stands (“Möggingen kocht”) and a castle illumination at the end of each performance.

Tango flash mob: Radolfzell’s Tango Argentino scene presents itself

The project tango flashmob takes place on May 16 at around 11 a.m. on the market square in Radolfzell. Two Argentinian tango musicians, a bandoneonist and a guitarist, start playing tango music as if it were a street concert. People come closer to listen to the tango duo. Suddenly, a couple starts dancing. They dance for a minute and then separate to invite two more people to dance with them. These two couples dance for another minute and then separate again to invite four more people, and so on until the place is full of dancing couples. It’s like a snowball that gets bigger and bigger. Afterwards, the talented dancers invite the inexperienced to a short tango course led by Argentinian teacher Rafael Mendaro.

Lake Constance beats

Bodensee-Beats is a new concept for the youth event Rock am Segel.

The event offers a stage for regional bands and DJs, among others, and is specifically designed for young people from Radolfzell. Rock am Segel, now known as Bodensee-Beats, has been firmly anchored in Radolfzell’s festival culture for over 27 years.

This will also make the event a highlight for young people during the city’s anniversary. The young people will also create an attractive link to the city’s anniversary through their own event.

To the beat of the city: stories in music and sand

As part of the town’s anniversary celebrations, the Musikverein Böhringen, under the direction of Dr. Marco Geigges, invites you to an unforgettable concert evening with its program “In time with the town: stories in music and sand”, in which sound and image flow into one another. Works will be performed that reflect cityscapes and urban stories. The musicians bring the history of the Rickelshausen brickworks to life with the gripping composition “Bricks in Fire”, while a wind band work created especially for Radolfzell and its districts builds sonic bridges between the past and present. At the same time, a sand painter transforms selected works into delicate sand paintings, which are created in real time and visually underline the narrative power of the music. This special format opens up completely new approaches to the identity of the city for the audience by making regional stories tangible for several senses.

Percussion meets accordion

There is a special musical highlight for the anniversary year:

The Radolfzell Accordion Orchestra and the percussion ensemble of the Radolfzell Music School join forces to present a newly composed work on October 17 and 18 in the small hall of the Milchwerk.

The focus is on history, culture and development:

” Two successful ensembles from the Radolfzell music world perform together.

” Musicians and audiences experience music beyond their own horizons.

” Creativity, encounters and cultural exchange unfold in a unique concert.

A concert full of sound diversity, rhythm and cultural bridges!

World premiere of the work MODI RADOLFI CELLAE

A specially composed symphonic suite was created for the town’s 2026 anniversary, bringing the vibrant life of Radolfzell in the Middle Ages to life in five movements. Both secular and ecclesiastical scenes around the cathedral – from the hustle and bustle of the market to the ceremonies of the landlords – are traced in sound.
At its premiere, the 15-minute composition will be visually accompanied by a film specially produced for the individual movements by Radolfzell filmmaker Günter Köhler, which impressively underscores the historical motifs. The premiere will take place as part of the marketplace concert of the Radolfzell town band in front of the cathedral.

From grain to bread – a brief history of bread

The Mögginger Backhüsle Association and the Mögginger Community Garden are joining forces to bring the history of bread – far beyond the last 1,200 years – to life during the month of June. They trace the path from the grain to the finished bread, but also the history of bread over the past centuries. With practical activities, the two associations want to arouse interest in bread baking and show that bread is more than just a staple food.

Radolfzell in detail-scavenger hunt with the cell phone

The smartphone photo tour invites amateur photographers to explore Radolfzell down to the smallest detail. Each participant receives an album with a list of detailed motifs, which are sought out in the city during the 2.5-hour tour and each documented with a selfie. The number of participants is limited to 30 to ensure a personal atmosphere and good support. At the end, each person receives a memory game “Radolfzell from 0 to 100” and two scoops of ice cream as a refreshing souvenir.

Lecture by Prof. Dr. Derschka

Around 1,200 years ago, Bishop Radolt of Verona had a church built on Reichenau land, which is rightly regarded as the starting point of Radolfzell’s town history. This raises questions: What motivated a bishop from northern Italy to act in this way outside his diocese? Moreover, there is no founding document that could vouch for this process. We read about it in a literary text of uncertain credibility. Are there nevertheless indications that allow us to outline the foundation in terms of facts and time? The lecture shows what can be reliably reported about Radolt and his work on Lake Constance.
