Culture night

Every year on October 2nd, Radolfzell is transformed into a huge stage for the independent art and culture scene during the Culture Night.

The extensive program offers a variety of different events, including exhibitions of paintings, photographs and sculptures, music, dance, as well as literature, film and theater performances. The program takes place at various locations – from large conference centers to retail stores and small studios – so that visitors can be inspired by artistic performances throughout the city and its districts. This year, the anniversary will be celebrated artistically.

Landlord’s party

The Hausherrenfest can look back on over 300 years of tradition: it has been celebrated every year on the third Sunday in July since 1725.

The festival has its origins in the veneration of the saints Theopont, Senesius and Zeno, whose relics have been kept in Radolfzell since the 9th and 11th centuries. As a result, the town developed into an important place of pilgrimage on Lake Constance at an early stage. Today, the Hausherrenfest is an integral part of the town’s life and strengthens the sense of home and community. Many people from Radolfzell return to their home town for this event. In addition to secular festivities, the solemn procession on Hausherrensonntag with the relics of the three patron saints remains the highlight. A special custom is the Moos water procession, which dates back to a vow made in 1796. At that time, the people of Moos asked for protection from a cattle plague in Radolfzell. Since 1926, they have made an annual pilgrimage across the lake in boats adorned with flowers on Landlord’s Monday. The pilgrims are ceremoniously welcomed in Radolfzell and escorted to the Minster of Our Lady.

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.

Culture night

Once a year, Radolfzell is transformed into a lively venue for art, culture and creativity: at the Culture Night, artists from the independent scene present a varied program throughout the town and its districts.

Whether fine arts, photography, sculpture, music, dance, literature, theater or film – the Culture Night brings together a wide variety of forms of expression and makes them accessible to all. From large venues to small studios and retail outlets, Radolfzell becomes an open cultural space that invites you to discover and linger.

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.

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.

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!

(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.
