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.
Admission is free.

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.
DämmerShoppen – the Radolfzell city center becomes a catwalk!
The city is celebrating a big anniversary – and so is the action group! To celebrate this in style, the association has put together an extraordinary civic project sponsored by the city. On Friday, 08.05.2026, the city center will be transformed into a large catwalk for the retail trade at “DämmerShoppen” from 18.00 hrs.
Until late in the evening, the stores invite you to take a relaxed stroll and enjoy a variety of promotions and offers. Some retailers offer attractive discounts. At the Glückssträhne hairdressing salon, for example, glitter strands can be incorporated, Mode Sonja invites customers to a photo shoot, Peppe Gelato organizes an ice cream bingo and the tourist information office offers a tasting of Radolfzell’s anniversary schnapps, among other things. The market square becomes a lively meeting place: Radolfzell craftsmen and industrial companies present themselves there and provide exciting insights into their skills and work.
And, of course, the gastronomy sector will also be on hand with culinary delights. A special highlight: each participating restaurant has created its own anniversary drink for guests to sample. They can then choose their favorite from all of them. Who is likely to come out on top here?
In addition, light installations make the entire city center shine in a very special glow and turn a shopping trip into a real experience for all the senses.
The atmospheric supporting program is complemented by walking acts that perform in the middle of the action. These mobile performances as well as impressive light juggling at 9.00 pm at the Forsteibrunnen and at 9.45 pm in Schützenstraße provide unforgettable experiences. The illuminated fairy “Sabrina’s Dreamland” and the Casanietto Circus from the Engen Gymnastics Club will also be performing.
In order to arouse anticipation for the “DämmerShoppen”, an entertaining quiz about the Radolfzell retail trade invites visitors to discover the town center in a playful way in the run-up to the event.
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.

Mögging Castle Festival
SOLD OUT
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.
