Günter Rückert has been living and working in Dortmund for many years as a freelance artist in the fields of painting, graphics and as an author and director for independent theatres. His cartoons have been published in various magazines since 1986. He captures moments of everyday madness in numerous solo exhibitions. He is first and foremost a satirist, but also a subtle observer of the visible world and its darker sides, but always with humour and a twinkle in his eye. "If we give up laughing, we have given up on ourselves. Humour is the productive force and must not be missing in art and everyday life". And so you will find many motifs to smile about that will remain in your memory.

Intimate ballads, expressive soundscapes and powerful songs unite in warm acoustic sounds: poetic, approachable, handmade.

He has already won several awards for his songs at various competitions.

Reidar Jensen was recently awarded the Steinfurt District Culture Prize 2025. An honour that underlines the importance of his work.

With his pleasantly relaxed stage presence and authentic charm, the singer/songwriter creates an atmosphere that immediately touches the audience.

Reidar Jensen stands for a special blend of poetic folk, acoustic elegance and a warm, unmistakable voice that tells stories full of depth and humanity. These are thematic songs about understanding, tolerance and love, modelled on the lives of fellow human beings. Many have a religious background; they are about vigilance against injustice and violence, a strong belief in peace and love for one's neighbour.

His songs tell of encounters, life journeys and the quiet moments that often say more than grand gestures.

In addition to his music albums, he presents his lyrics in his book "TAKE A LOOK AROUND YOU".

Admission is free, but visitors are cordially invited to express their appreciation for the concert with a voluntary donation.

The forest woman is often described in fairy tales as a good-natured, clever being. She lives with, in and from the forest. She helps people who are hungry or in need. Whoever goes into the forest (and meets her) comes out a different person.

You too can make this experience on this special nature tour with the forest woman Hulda in the Bagno Forest - get to know the forest giants and other inhabitants of the forest. Hulda explains how people used to look after themselves in the forest. She leads us to magical places and tells short, largely unknown fairy tales and legends from the region, about various creatures of the forest and their coexistence. At the end, there are small delicacies from trees and bushes.

Hint: Please wear clothes suitable for the weather, covering your body, sturdy shoes. Tick protection is recommended.

Rope Flow is an innovative movement training programme from the USA. A special rope is swung around the body in various figures, creating flowing, rhythmic movements. It improves mobility and promotes coordination, body awareness and brain fitness. The steady movements have a meditative effect and help to reduce stress. And the best thing is that it doesn't feel like training, but more like "playing and dancing" with the rope. The sport is suitable for all fitness levels and can be practised in the park or living room.

This course takes place outside - in the event of inclement weather, we will postpone the course and inform you in good time.

Participation is free of charge - donations are welcome.

To get an impression of the sport, you can visit the trainer's Instagram profile: @swing_and_flow"

We exchange views on current topics in an open and lively dialogue.

Registration is not required.

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.

The guided tour of the district educational garden provides exciting insights and lots of information for a species-rich garden design. Living areas such as ponds, dry stone walls and herbaceous beds can also be easily realised in the home garden. During the two-hour tour, many practical tips are provided in an easy-to-understand way based on the garden design in the district educational garden.
