NEUE WÄNDE

Starting your studies means finding your place at a university and usually also in a new city: NEW WALLS (NEUE WÄNDE in German) – in which you settle, which you redesign. Music, theatre, dance, and art are naturally part of this. And so much creativity needs to be seen and heard. This is why the idea was born in 2008 to give campus culture in Münster its own festival. The City of Münster’s Culture Department has supported this initiative from the outset and the Münster Theatre has willingly opened its stages for five festivals since 2010:

NEUE WÄNDE 2023 – Everyone’s Back!

Although preparations for the 2023 edition started late, it quickly became clear: Despite COVID-19, everyone is back! The festival was once again a great success with both old and new choirs, orchestras, bands, theater, and dance groups. The final applause after the “Tapetenwechsel” was not only for the artists on stage but also for Klaus Baumeister, Ortwin Lämke, and Walter Lindenbaum, who had shaped the festival since its early days and are now stepping down from “active service.” However, as mentors, they will continue to critically and creatively guide the festival.

NEUE WÄNDE 2020 – Plan B

The memory of 2020 is also marked by the COVID-19 pandemic for NEUE WÄNDE. When news of lockdowns, social distancing, and hygiene rules came, neither the organizers nor the students rested. With NEUE WÄNDE – Plan B, the move to the digital space was achieved in no time. It became clear that Münster’s academic culture is connected to all areas of science and technology – even with the IT experts.

This would have been the 2020 program.

NEUE WÄNDE 2017 – Awarded!

Several pieces of good news came in during the festival preparations: The NEUE WÄNDE poster – in the same design since 2010 – was selected as one of the top 100 posters in the German-speaking world. Even more important was the recognition by the Bürgerstiftung Münster, which awarded the Förderverein Hochschulkultur Münster with the Citizen Award in 2015.

NEUE WÄNDE 2013 – with the German Championship in Science Slam

NEUE WÄNDE was part of the application package with which the city of Münster successfully applied for the title “City of Science 2013,” an award by the Stifterverband for German Science. Since the hosting of the German Championship Science Slam 2013 final, with nearly 1,000 guests in attendance, Science Slam has become a regular part of the festival’s pre-program.

NEUE WÄNDE 2010 – A festival is born!

The festival series began in 2010 as Münster’s contribution to Ruhr 2010 – European Capital of Culture. NEUE WÄNDE was then included as an external project in the official Capital of Culture program as part of the “National Heroes” initiative. The festival concept, focused on innovation, has proven to be highly sustainable in the following years, as evidenced not only by the large number of participating students – many of whom are returning participants – but also by the consistently high audience interest.
