Nature is the connecting element for the artist Jutta Klose and the artist Rainer Bauer. A dialogue between wooden objects, which Jutta Klose often finds in the forest, and Rainer Bauer's large-format depictions of nature, which often show reflections of plants and trees in bodies of water. Unreal and with a sensitive colour spectrum, the oil paintings amaze their viewers. Jutta Klose's objects bear witness to a transformation of naturally found materials, wood or stone, into works of art. A harmonious symbiosis of two people who have found the centre of their lives in art.

During the guided tour of the orchard, the most important summer pruning work on various fruit trees is demonstrated. For example, espalier fruit trees and vines are pruned in a practical and easy-to-understand way. It is also explained why this pruning work is important.

The year is 1801 and Petronalla Gempt, née Prümers, is the widow of the well-respected and highly esteemed court apothecary Conrad Gempt. Every day she goes on her errand through her home town of Burgsteinfurt. Today you accompany her and learn a lot about the diseases and remedies of her time. She also tells you about her home, the "Apotheke zum Elephanten", and how it got its name. Of course, she won't let you go without the special apothecary potion against all kinds of infectious diseases, malicious people and nosy neighbours!

Many herbs are presented during the guided tour in the district educational garden, where you can sniff and taste them. Valuable tips on growing and using herbs are given so that you can successfully grow them in your own garden.

The MuFa Big Band, conducted by Thomas Blanke, will be performing popular and well-known big band standards in the big top at the Regenbogenschule.

Vocals: Mara Blanke and Jonas Timmerhues

Classes 11 and 12 of the Hermann-Emanuel-Kolleg, Education & Social Affairs department, are exhibiting. Together with their teachers Lisa Berkemeier and Andrea Dedio, the pupils have been roaming the old town centre of Burgsteinfurt for several months and showing their very individual and young view of old walls. They transform their impressions into colour, form and language. In doing so, they are also drawing on the colour design of Johannes Itten, as well as Klee and Kandinsky. An exciting confrontation between different generations and an interesting dialogue resulting from this at the vernissage.

Accompany Burgunda, wife of Fredericus, on an entertaining and lively tour of Burgsteinfurt!

Find out why the practical wooden shoes were more than just footwear - and listen to exciting stories about old Burgsteinfurt, its people and its secrets. An experience full of charm, humour and history!
