Wolfgang Borchert Theatre in Münster

Picnics meet this summer’s DIY trend! Enjoy a relaxed summer’s evening whilst designing your very own personalised picnic glass. Together with Münsterland e.V. and studio flausen, we’re combining the joys of picnicking, creativity and the unique Münsterland way of life. Designing your own summer jars is all the rage right now. This makes it all the more wonderful to spend this creative break enjoying an atmospheric picnic at a very special spot right in the heart of Münster.

What can you expect? We’ll kick off in a relaxed atmosphere with a sparkling, non-alcoholic aperitif from the Münsterland-based Sasse distillery. Then it’s time to get creative. After a brief introduction to motifs, colour application and other design tips, you’ll grab your brushes and paints and design your very own picnic glass. Picnic time: Whilst your glass is drying, you’ll enjoy the picnic you’ve brought along, have a chat with others and spend a relaxing evening in a cosy atmosphere. Take home & fire: After the event, take your glass home and simply fire the paint in your own oven – this will make your design dishwasher-safe and ready for more summer evenings! The key details at a glance: Bring-your-own picnic: Pack your picnic basket and bring your favourite snacks along to the event. You’ll find some inspiration here: www.muensterland.com/tourismus/themen/erlebnis-region-muensterland/picknick/picknick-rezepte/ *Transport tip: To ensure your freshly painted glass gets home safely, please bring a transport box with you. Grab your picnic basket and let’s spend a creative summer evening together. We look forward to seeing you! *In the event of bad weather, we can move to a covered area of the courtyard. Picknick³ Picknick captures the quality of life and spirit of the Münsterland region, symbolising the locals’ love of nature and sense of community. The suffix ‘to the power of three’ expresses our aim to make this way of life visible and to establish it, even in unusual places or through art and culture. Find out more about Picknick³ at: www.muensterland.com/muensterland-e.v/marke-muensterland/picknick/ We would like to extend our warmest thanks to the Diocese of Münster for kindly providing the cosy courtyard at the Überwasserkirche as the venue, and to the Sasse Distillery for sponsoring the refreshing non-alcoholic aperitif.

NEW TO THE MÜNSTERLAND?

• Have you recently moved (back) to the Münsterland region?
• Are you currently in full-time employment?
• Have you got your first few weeks in your new job behind you?
• Haven’t got to know enough people yet?

Then come and meet other newcomers to the Münsterland region in a relaxed atmosphere at a mobile phone photography workshop in Münster harbour. Discover your new home through the lens, explore new perspectives and make connections with like-minded people who, like you, have moved to the region for work but haven’t quite settled in yet in their personal lives.

After a brief introduction to mobile photography, we’ll head to Münster harbour. Here, modern architecture meets converted warehouses – the perfect photo opportunity! After our photo tour, we’ll pop into the B-Side. Here, we’ll show you how to edit your photos afterwards. There’ll also be plenty of time to get to know each other. Drinks and finger food will, of course, be provided.

On 6 September, the Adam Riese Show will become a playground for true professionals. Comedy, sport and music come together on stage: Maxi Gstettenbauer, the comedian well-known from radio and television, will entertain the audience with his dark humour, whilst Simon Scherder, the unshakeable centre-back for SC Preußen Münster, will rock the pitch. Benedikt Eichhorn will provide musical highlights on the piano. Singer Nikola Materne will join the show band to round off the feel-good show with her vocals. To ensure all the stars feel right at home, show assistant Jens Heinrich Claassen will once again be on hand to provide perfect support.

Comedian Maxi Gstettenbauer has been one of the most influential voices on the young stand-up scene in the German-speaking world for years. When he combines sharp social commentary, nerd culture and personal anecdotes, he strikes a chord with an increasingly digitalised society. He proved that behind the humorous lumberjack lies a man of depth in 2022 with his courageous bestseller *My Depression Is Your Depression*. This was followed last year by his book *11.5 Rules for Your Most Successful Life: Self-Help from a Bloke Who’s Clue-less Too*.

Simon Scherder is the first active footballer from SC Preußen Münster to appear as a guest on Adam Riese’s show. When cries of “Simon Scherder, football god!” echo around the Preußenstadion, everyone knows: things are about to get solid in defence and a bit emotional in the stands.

Whilst others are still trying to work out where the punchline lies, Benedikt Eichhorn has long since set it to music. His best-known ‘playing field’ is his collaboration with Thomas Pigor. Since 1995, the motto on stages from the North Sea to the Alps has been: ‘Pigor sings, Benedikt Eichhorn has to accompany him.’ What sounds like a division of labour is, in reality, a perfectly synchronised duet full of wordplay, musical finesse and rhythmic surprises.

The artists’ collective RUE OBSCURE has once again packed its bags and is inviting people to join its latest guided tour. This time, the tour takes participants through the urban landscape, focusing on aspects of housing caught between crisis and vision. Fantastic tales and current debates invite the audience to engage in dialogue with one another during a walk through the Hansaviertel, to formulate their own perspectives, to question them and to philosophise about the future of housing – whilst strolling and speculating.

Part of the walk takes place over uneven terrain, so sturdy footwear is recommended.

Meeting point: Bennohaus, Bennostraße 5, 48155 Münster

What will happen when 17 million orange-coloured climate refugees roll into Germany in their caravans in the left-hand lane as a result of rising sea levels? Will the Germans then be prepared to take in the much-loved Dutch?

"Die orangene Gefahr - Die Holländer kommen" is the first German-language programme by Dutch cabaret artist Patrick Nederkoorn. It is an amusing and acerbic examination of the idiosyncrasies of our two nations and the topic of migration in the context of climate change. The programme was nominated for the Prix Pantheon and won the Obernburger Mühlstein, the Komiker Jackpot, the Silberner Reinheimer Satirelöwe and the second prize of the Tuttlinger Krähe.

"Nederkoorn is indeed a strong comedian, an excellent singer and a born entertainer. It is clear that Nederkoorn has mastered his first solo brilliantly" (Bonner Generalanzeiger)
