“Learning to Learn” is a tour of Germany that provides parents with helpful ideas on how they can support their children’s learning effectively and stress-free.

All with a shared goal: better academic performance and greater self-confidence, whilst the family as a whole enjoys a more relaxed and harmonious learning environment.

To this end, as parents, you’ll receive practical and scientifically sound methods from Jürgen Möller, an experienced teacher and learning expert, to improve your children’s daily learning routine. Scientifically sound, entertaining and presented with a touch of humour.

After the celebrated premiere in autumn 2024 and numerous sold-out shows, the show will continue seamlessly in 2026. In his live show, Zeigler combines humour, archive gems, curiosities and personal anecdotes to create a very special evening of football - just as we know it from his TV show "Zeigler's Wonderful World of Football". "Always luck is skill" - the title says it all. Because after more than 270 live shows, we can all be sure: It's not just luck, there's also a lot of skill involved. No one else tells football stories and fan culture in this way - approachable, quirky, affectionate and always with attitude. Zeigler takes his audience on a journey through the highs, lows and bizarre aspects of the most beautiful game in the world.

"Perhaps you don't even have to be a football aficionado to find these two hours highly comical and highly entertaining," wrote the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper about the evening.

The live show is a tribute to football as we love it - with all its rough edges, outbursts and magical moments. And in the end, the realisation remains: "Football holds us together in an invisible way."

When the sound of words was still an adventure, when fairy tales swam in the waters of parental admonitions, when the world still held secrets and all it took was patience to uncover them?

For years, Marcus Jeroch has been whisking his audience away into the world of language with wild gestures and unbridled enthusiasm. Unconventional juggling adds spice to the experience; idea after idea takes shape and brings a smile. The word breaks free from its everyday routine; the eye marvels along with it. As ever, this new programme will contain more gems than one can count.

A delight for heart and mind; words create closeness, and poetry becomes ‘PoeDu’.

Chin Meyer talks about money. And everything to do with it – the economy, tax, sustainability, the climate, migration, equal opportunities, relationships – in short: quite a lot to cover. But entertaining, of course. Because when it comes to money, that’s when the fun really begins. And with the fun comes relief and joy. Only when the audience leaves his show with a grin on their faces and a sense of inner spaciousness, can he have his own fun with money.

The ultimate rock sensation – on tour across Germany   

Building on the resounding success of their 2025/26 European tour, ‘FOREVER QUEEN’ are once again embarking on a major tour of Germany. Queen Alive’s top-class ensemble celebrates the global hits of their musical idols Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Freddie Mercury († 1991) – known as Queen – in a gripping, impressive and, of course, live performance!

FOREVER QUEEN brings the explosive power of Queen’s most legendary hits back to the stage in a spectacular production! In the 1970s and 1980s, Queen revolutionised the world of rock music with their grandiose shows. Today, ‘Queen Alive’ carries on this spectacular legacy with unrivalled perfection. The hit show, produced by Reset Production, conveys

the electrifying atmosphere of one of the most innovative, creative and brilliant bands in music history – with breathtakingly faithful live performances.

The audience can look forward to a rock concert in a class of its own – featuring rousing anthems such as ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘We Are the Champions’, heart-wrenching ballads like ‘Who Wants To Live Forever’ and ‘Love of My Life’, right through to the masterful ‘Radio Ga Ga’ and the operetta-style ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.

One of the show’s many spine-tingling highlights is the moving duet

‘Barcelona’ featuring a soprano and the charismatic lead singer Giuseppe Ravazzolo. With a powerful, dynamic performance and exceptional voices, the two artists pay tribute to the legendary originals, Montserrat Caballé and Freddie Mercury.

Giuseppe Ravazzolo, the band leader of Queen Alive and one of Europe’s best-known Freddie Mercury impersonators, pays tribute to the unforgettable Mercury with an energetic performance and an extraordinary voice – an understated yet impressive homage. Tiziano Giampieri masterfully delivers the power chords and solos on the guitar. Fabrizio

Palermo delivers the powerful, signature Queen sound on bass. Simone Fortuna on drums is responsible for the pulsating rhythm.

Following the huge success of the past two years, the “Kindermusikfestival-Münsterland” will be back for its third edition in 2026. A small team led by the multi-award-winning music group ‘Karibuni – World Music for Children’ is inviting music lovers of all ages to a decentralised festival from 5 to 8 November 2026, under the motto ‘Karibuni invites you…’.

In around ten locations across the Münsterland region, Berlin-based children’s songwriter Suli Puschban, Frankfurt-based children’s songwriter Ferri and ‘Karibuni’ from Münster will provide musical highlights with a varied programme of world music for children.

The grand finale will take place on 8 November with a joint concert featuring all the participating musicians at the Stroetmanns Fabrik socio-cultural centre in Emsdetten.

The singer-songwriters Suli Puschban and Ferri, as well as the band ‘Karibuni – World Music for Children’, stand for handcrafted music, child-friendly songs, cultural diversity and musical innovation. For many years, they have been delighting children and families with their programmes on stages throughout Germany.

Through modern, contemporary and age-appropriate music, the festival aims to reach as many children and families in the Münsterland region as possible, regardless of their background or social circumstances.

With great verve, Bridge Markland races through Kleist’s *The Broken Jug* and distils the classic into an entertaining pop-music court show.

The legal dispute over a broken jug being heard in court conceals another offence: an influential man has harassed a young woman. Will Eve dare to accuse the perpetrator and thereby exonerate her fiancé Ruprecht? For he faces military service in distant lands, whilst Hans Albers sings evocatively: ‘Near Rocktown he has long since lain in his grave / and flowers grow out of his bones’. The web of lies and the abuse of power become increasingly transparent as the show progresses. Will justice prevail in the end?

In rapid succession, the master of transformation plays – with and without hand-operated puppets – the village judge Adam, the clerk Licht, the court councillor Walter, the plaintiff Marthe Rull, her daughter Eve Rull and her fiancé Ruprecht, as well as the witness Mrs Brigitte.
