The proverbial “Golden Autumn” this year keeps luring me outside. I no longer leave the house without my phone. There are too many beautiful motifs in the finest autumn colors, illustrated by a warm and low-hanging autumn sun, playing before my eyes. It is fascinating how the colorful leaves still hanging on the trees change the cityscape, the parks, and
On the nationwide Open Monument Day, our first stop was a Marinee performance. We headed to the “Kleine Haus” (Small House). The play “Jeeps” by the author Nora Abdel-Maksoud was set to be presented. Right on time at 11 AM, it began. The hall, about three-quarters full, was filled with anticipation. Four chairs were placed in front of the stage:
It’s getting dark earlier again. I had just seemed to get used to the long evenings, and now they’re over again. However, this means that this year’s light trail can be planned earlier. On a very mild (still-) summer day, it begins at 7:30 pm in the Bürgerpark. Twilight has just set in. It is already dim enough to admire
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the opening of Jürgen Mennecke’s exhibition “Drawings,” and I am still deeply impressed by the captivating impressions this exhibition left on me.

“Is this art or can it go?“ Somehow everyone has heard this (joking) question before. How and when exactly this statement originated is not known. But most often the unintentional destruction of two artworks by the artist Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) is cited as its origin. However, it was news to me until last Saturday that this expression is also associated
The time of the “Open Gates” in Braunschweig and the surrounding area has begun again. This Sunday we’re going to Völkenrode to visit the Krause family. A 600 square meter garden with perennial beds, climbing roses and raised beds has been announced. However, a little green guy named Grass Frog steals the show. The frog kings are obviously feeling the
Created in times of Corona, “The Art Of” is entering its fourth round. The format was initiated by the Braunschweig Public Insurance to support regional art and cultural workers in 2021. This Sunday, the fourth season can be admired in the Event Space on Friedrich-Wilhelm-Straße. A great project that unfortunately has a drawback. I only found out about the exhibition
The Free Stage Braunschweig, under the direction of Andreas Hartmann, rehearsed the play “The Martyrdom of Piotr O’Hey.” Inspired by the Polish writer and playwright Slawomir Mrozek, the amateur actors performed the play on January 14, 2024, at Brunsviga. Despite the satire’s origin, the Polish playwright’s commentary remains as relevant as ever. Perhaps it is even more timely today than
It rarely happens, but when it does: snow in the pre-Christmas season. Right on time for the beginning of the Christmas month of December, the white beauty falls from the sky. With a powdery layer on the streets, the Christmas spirit sets in. The Advent season couldn’t start any better. And when on the first of December, it’s said, “Magni
