Nordkirchen Castle

The Neue Wiener Concert Schrammeln play Schrammel music in its most original form, but in the garb of today. Countless old "Weana Tanz" and marches provide the quartet with inspiration for new things.

The musicians play old as well as many new compositions of their own and constantly refine their sound. It is the sound of Vienna, created in Viennese Heurigen pubs, appreciated by the most famous musicians, which they now perform in concert halls all over the world. Their tours have already taken the Neue Wiener Concert Schrammeln to around 25 countries, but they always come back to the Heurigen in Vienna.

The quartet was founded in 1994/95 with the aim of bringing more attention to Viennese folk music in the instrumental field with fresh expression and new musical forms. Since 2011, the line-up has included: Peter Uhler (violin), Johannes Dickbauer/Niki Tunkowitsch (violin), Walther Soyka / Helmut Stippich (chromatic button harmonica) and Peter Havlicek (contrabass guitar).

Do you know why the racecourse is called Rennplatz? Or where the most exclusive horse stable in Nordkirchen is located? Are you surprised that there was a wild horse track in Nordkirchen?

On the approx. two to three-hour walk you will also find out why there was "skullduggery and catcalling" in Nordkirchen on one day.

Along the way, you will learn interesting facts about two protected forest areas and enjoy the park landscape and nature, which has a lot to do with the love of horses of the last lords of Nordkirchen.

The Kulturkreis Nordkirchen presents the Zucchini Sistaz:

Summer, sun, swing music - with their new programme "Day by the Sea", the Zucchini Sistaz promise us an entertaining concert journey to the coast.

With siren-like sentence singing, the three sunny spirits row far out into the tides of light music. Elegantly and refreshingly, the exceptional ladies of German jazz schlager dive for one or the other musical pearl, fish in the green of music history and lift up sunken shellac treasures.

As always, they bring along a guitar, double bass, trumpet and laces to accompany their contemporary sound in the style of the 20s and 60s.

And of course they will also chat, as befits a proper ladies' band: entertainingly, charmingly and with due circumlocution!

The event will take place in the forum of the Johann Conrad Schlaun School, Am Gorbach 4.

Are you already looking forward to the Advent season? To the smell of gingerbread and cinnamon, a warm drink to warm your hands, lights and candlelight illuminating the early twilight? Then visit our "Wunderwerke" in Nordkirchen.

For months now, the employees have been working towards the Wunderwerke to give the visitors* a great Christmas experience. As every year, there is a wide range of Advent decorations and creative works to discover, which have been prepared with great attention to detail. Our employees will also be showing what they make by hand and with the use of machines, and are looking forward to talking to you and answering your questions.

Selected hands-on activities for young and old promise a creative and exciting programme for everyone.

The bazaar will take place at the Caritas Workshop Nordkirchen, Mühlenstr. 60.
