At the "Cultural Picnic on the Peace Route" on Sunday, 18 June 2023, you can experience a special cultural format at the historic Haus Marck in Tecklenburg on the occasion of the 375th anniversary of the Peace of Westphalia! Haus Marck played a key role in the Peace of Westphalia as a place of negotiation. The house is located below the town of Tecklenburg in the immediate vicinity of the Teutoburg Forest along the Peace Route.
The programme:
At the large cultural outdoor picnic in front of a historical backdrop, you can experience a variety of regional artists live during your picnic. The cultural programme includes music, theatre and performances. The event takes place on a large meadow with adjacent moats and a view of the moated castle. The cultural picnic is rounded off with a guided tour of "Haus Marck - behind the scenes" (A) or "Haus Marck and the Peace of Westphalia" (B). You can also book one of the two guided tours (A/B) with your admission ticket to the event.
