Events in Havixbeck

"Once infected by windjammer fever, you are almost incurable."

With a twinkle in his eye, Hams-Werner Wagner describes the fascination of large sailing ships - and it is precisely this enthusiasm that can be felt in his impressive special exhibition.

Immerse yourself in the world of historic tall ships:
Detailed models show the majestic "windjammers", those impressive multi-masted sailing ships of the 19th century that once dominated the world's oceans. The exhibition is complemented by photographs and exciting insights into model making - from the initial planning to the intricate details of the rigging.

For all those who are enthusiastic about:

• maritime history
• impressive sailing ships
• precise craftsmanship

Let the windjammer fever infect you!

Admission to the museum & exhibition is free.

From Thu to Sun from 1 to 6 pm, the café in the museum with outdoor terrace invites you to linger.

As part of the Wandeln & Handeln days, Vamos e.V. is organising an action area at the Havixbeck Spring Festival with a wide range of information and hands-on activities relating to sustainability and globally just action. Visitors can get active at a mobile hands-on station, exchange ideas at the dialogue and peace table, discover places of commitment at activities such as "Stones of Action" or learn about fair clothes and fair flowers in a playful way by taking part in a hands-on bingo.

The programme will be complemented by contributions from various initiatives and projects: Hands-on activities on the textile supply chain, live upcycling and art made from used textiles, a sculpture on the subject of textile waste as well as information stands on sustainable agriculture, seeds and regional commitment. Creative installations such as the Slowflower flower sofa and offers such as local popcorn and sustainable catering invite visitors to linger.

The action area offers space to participate, experience and change.

The family meadow is a play, chill and interactive area for young and old. It is a central part of the action area of the Walking and Doing Days.

The following activities can be found here:

• "Stones of action" colouring activity
• (Social) games about human rights and fair trade
• Peace and dialogue table
• Popcorn sales by pupils from the Billerbeck-Havixbeck comprehensive school
• Deckchairs and tables

and much more.

Just come along and discover the meadow together...

The event takes place as part of the Baumberger Wandeln & Handeln days.

At the Havixbeck Spring Festival, there will be a stage with a diverse programme as part of the Wandeln & Handeln days.

In addition to musical accompaniment, visitors can expect discussion formats and opportunities to exchange ideas on the topics of fair clothing and fairly traded flowers.

A detailed programme overview will follow shortly.

Come to our dialogue table and simply exchange ideas.

Here you will have the opportunity to talk to various guests about local and global fair trade issues, the Sustainable Development Goals, development cooperation, regional agriculture and global justice.

The guests and times will be announced soon.

The event will take place as part of the Münsterländer Wandeln & Handeln days. Join us from 16-19 April 2026 in the Baumberge and discover how knowledge becomes action!

At various events, everyone has the opportunity to develop and implement their own ideas for sustainability, fair trade and global justice.

The gospel concert "Welcome to the Fire" promises musical fireworks. Under the musical direction of Gerrit Tepe, the "Black Sheep" present a 90-minute concert programme with expressive songs, rhythmic melodies and modern harmonies.

The evening is characterised by the well-known sound of the choir, which has been delighting audiences for years and creates a special atmosphere. Emotional ballads alternate with powerful, dynamic pieces, making the concert an intense listening experience.

An evening full of energy, passion and musical variety awaits the audience.

If Primark is the €1 kebab of fashion, what is Temu? Fast fashion characterises the everyday lives of many people, while at the same time the luxury industry is booming - both have drastic global consequences.

Baddabäm! uses short artistic, journalistic, scientific and satirical contributions to shed light on what fashion actually is from a cultural perspective, how it shapes our society, but also how it is characterised by the respective social circumstances. How is clothing produced where in the world, who benefits from dumping prices and what responsibility do politics and society bear? But of course you also get the hottest trends from Paris. Or was it Berlin? You'll find out things you definitely didn't know, and that's what we stand for with our name. Baddabäm! Rich in perspective, critical, very funny and radically constructive.

As always, the evening will be hosted by Pia Kraftfutter and Jonas Riemer, as well as DJ AT and political pop star Christine Giesli

Guest:

Camelia Hasan is the gender officer at NGWF, the largest textile union in Bangladesh. She works closely with workers in the textile factories.

Other guests from NGOs and companies.

BADDABÄM! is a constructive MixedArts Saturday evening show that operates at the interface of art, science, politics and journalism. Baddabäm! animates and empowers its audience to drive social and ecological change. It entertains, informs, enchants and addresses the complex issues of our time. In other words: content through the back door or: heavy fare, easy to digest!

Close to the stone

Baumberg sandstone has been quarried between the towns of Billerbeck, Havixbeck and Nottuln for around 1000 years.

Today, this sand-lime brick is still quarried in 2 quarries. In addition, there are many hollows - as the abandoned quarries are called - which bear witness to this old craft tradition of stone crushers and stone cutters. The quarries are mostly freely accessible and are often encountered by visitors on walks in the Baumberge. The situation is different with the active quarries, which are only accessible to a limited extent for safety reasons. Visitors to the Baumberg Sandstone Museum can also book guided tours of these quarries or take part in a public guided tour.

Cost: €5 per person; concessions for children aged 3 and over and young people €2

Times: Sunday 11 am to approx. 12 noon

Meeting point: 10.40 am at the Baumberg Sandstone Museum in Havixbeck

Registration: Registration is possible in person at the Baumberger Sandstein Museum in Havixbeck during opening hours, by telephone on 02507 1596 or by email to info@sandsteinmuseum.de.

Public guided tour of the Baumberg Sandstone Museum

A good opportunity to have the Baumberg Sandstone Museum explained to you personally - even if you don't have your own group. As part of the public tour, visitors can gain exciting insights into the history and significance of Baumberg sandstone, which characterises an entire region.

Participation in the guided tour costs €5 per person, admission to the museum is free. There is no need to register and the number of participants is unlimited.

Meeting point: 15:00 at the museum

Women of colour have shaped life in the Baumberge for many generations - sometimes visible, often in the background, heard and yet long unheard.
Historian and author Anke Maria Zandman presents her book "Unheard Stories". In it, she sensitively tells the stories of women from Nottuln and the Baumberge region - from 18th century nuns to female innkeepers, farmers and entrepreneurs of our present day.

The reading combines words, images and music: portraits of the women by Johanna Schindler are shown to accompany the reading, while Jessie Spanke provides the musical accompaniment to the evening.

An evening about origins, change and the power to shape one's own life.
