Scenic song recital
But the history of Radolfzell has so much to offer that you get slightly stressed during the brainstorming session: what should you focus on? You could play out scenes from the Heilig-Geist-Spital to the Mettnau cure. Or would you rather sing the praises of Viktor von Scheffel? What about the vineyards, the pub culture or the Ratoldus fountain? And Schiesser? Schiesser must definitely go in!
That’s why this time the ZellAkkorde are telling lots of little stories about the town. The focus is on rather unknown women whose fate is linked to Radolfzell. However, male personalities such as Victor von Scheffel and Jacques Schiesser also have their say and sing. Embedded in various Radolfzell locations and institutions. An exciting anniversary evening!
Directed by Anny de Silva & Waltraud Rasch. Musical direction / accordion: Gerhard A. Schiewe from Berlin.

Break open my heart’
An interreligious reflection on setting out, being on the move and arriving in two stages Founded by Bishop Radolt of Verona in 826, the “Radolf Cell” is still a place of prayer in today’s “Cathedral of Our Lady”. It testifies to the courage to follow an inner impulse to move on and to trust that, wherever we are, the relationship with the divine, with our inner essence, will remain. In this respect, it is also an encouragement to fail, to follow the heart and the spirit. And it is always a step into the unknown, a step into the unknown – which is only meant to become home.
” 1st station: “Setting off” 17.07.26, 18.30 hrs
An interfaith prayer ceremony with representatives from different religions in the cathedral, followed by an interfaith exchange in the Friedrich-Werber-Haus – with musical interludes.
” 2nd station: “Being on the road & arriving” 24.07.26, 6 pm
An interreligious exchange in the Protestant church/ parish hall – with musical interludes.
Reading of the historical Lake Constance novel “Flüsterzeit” – Petra Palumbo
“Flüsterzeit – zwischen Herkunft und Sehnsucht” tells the moving story of the Manogg family over several generations. Rooted in the picturesque landscape between Lake Constance, Hegau and the Swabian Alb, the descendants wrestle with the shadows of the past and the challenges of an uncertain future. From the turmoil of the German Empire to the collapse of the Weimar Republic, personal destinies are interwoven with the great upheavals of the time. Between the southern German provinces and pulsating metropolises, the life of a family unfolds as they set out without denying their origins. A captivating novel about home, departure, loss and new beginnings and an impressive testimony to the times.
“Flüsterzeit – zwischen Herkunft und Sehnsucht” is the first historical novel by Petra Palumbo, who was previously known as a crime writer under the name Luzi van Gisteren. Petra Palumbo was born in 1973 in Singen am Hohentwiel and studied business administration before working for an international corporation in Munich for more than twenty years. She now lives with her family in Radolfzell on Lake Constance, where her father’s roots lie. Writing has been her passion since early childhood: the author wrote her first book at the age of 13. She has been teaching creative writing to young people and adults for many years, including at adult education centers and as part of literary education projects. She works professionally in marketing.

Special exhibition Stadtmuseum: Ratoldescella – Radolfzell
Radolfzell celebrates – and looks back on more than 1200 years of eventful history. To mark the town’s anniversary, the Radolfzell Town Museum will be showing the special exhibition “Ratoldescella – Radolfzell” from May 17, 2026.
The exhibition begins with the founding of the town of Radolfzell in 826 by Bishop Radolt of Verona. With the “Ratoldescella”, a first ecclesiastical settlement, he laid the foundation stone for today’s town. The presentation traces his life as a religious and political player in early medieval Europe – from Reichenau via Aachen and Rome to Verona. Historical views and reconstructions bring the old cityscape back to life. An interactive display of Heber’s map from 1708 shows many exciting details of the Radolfzell area during the Baroque period. At the same time, the exhibition also sheds light on the vanished Radolfzell, from the Hölle brewery to the “Café Achteck”, and commemorates people from Radolfzell who sought their fortune abroad. Their stories show how home lives on in memory.
The exhibition can be seen in the Radolfzell City Museum from May 17th. It invites all visitors to embark on a multifaceted journey through the past of the town on Lake Constance.
The city museum is open Thursdays – Sundays from 11.00 am – 5.00 pm.
