Events in Hörstel

Across Germany, numerous historic sites open their doors on Open Monuments Day and delight visitors with exclusive programme highlights. To mark the closing event of the historical exhibition ‘WALD. The Age of Wood in Gravenhorst’, historian and curator Dr Uta C. Schmidt will, as is tradition, deliver a talk providing a closer look at individual aspects of the exhibition.

openART is centred around the KunstKommunikation project grant, which, since 2006, has been awarded annually to up to four participatory, site-specific art projects that invite people to get involved and contribute their ideas.

The first event on the programme is the grand opening of the ‘AUSBLICK!’ exhibition, which brings together the designs from this year’s ideas workshop. In this context, the selected project ideas for the 27th KunstKommunikation project grant will be announced to the public for the first time.

Afterwards, former participants in the grant programme will share their experiences from 20 years of ‘KunstKommunikation’. Guests include long-standing juror Wolfgang Suttner, as well as former grant recipients Nicola Dicke and Frank Bölter.

With art performances by the current scholarship holders, openART promises to be a unique experience, fostering exchange and inspiration against a special, historic backdrop.

Admission is free.

The walk takes us past the three war cemeteries: ‘Brumleytal’, ‘Riesenbecker Berg’ and ‘Dörenther Klippen’. After dark, under a full moon, we’ll walk through the mysterious, mystical Teutoburg Forest, taking in the silence and feeling a sense of awe. At each of the war cemeteries, I will read short extracts from diary entries written by people who witnessed the fierce fighting at Easter 1945.

Sturdy footwear, weatherproof clothing and a torch or headlamp are required. The tour will go ahead even in the rain; it is approximately 10 km long and of moderate difficulty.

Meeting point: 7 pm at Oase (Tecklenburger Straße 161, 48477 Hörstel) 

Bookings on: 0176 12168611

No participation fee

Classical music lovers can once again look forward to an exceptional evening of concert music in September.

Once again this year, the evening will be hosted by Stefan Keim, cabaret artist, author and well-known cultural journalist for WDR. As at the New Year’s Concert, Stefan Keim will once again guide the Gravenhorst audience through the programme with charm and expertise.
