Colorful end of the year: Experience nature in Kraichgau!
What characterizes this morning on October 25, 2025? Cologne residents can look forward to a colorful and lively time as nature prepares for the end of the year. Things are still blooming and sprouting in the city, but the splendor of the colors of the autumn leaves already gives an idea that the cozy pre-winter days are just around the corner. People here quickly realize that the best memories are often made during this colorful time of year. My voice reports that many will take the opportunity to take walks in the surrounding area and enjoy the warming autumn sun.
Another highlight in the region is the upcoming lecture by Konrad Schomerus. The native pastor has thought a lot about education and history throughout his career and will share his experiences from the 1970s. In keeping with the Reformation, Schomerus will also provide an insight into his book “The Kraichgau in the Morning Light of the Reformation”.
Cultural contributions and engagement
Schomerus, who is now retired, has maintained close contacts not only in Germany but also with communities in southern India. The proceeds from the sale of his books, such as the popular “Calendar Stories”, go to the “Flying Spaghetti Monster” Foundation, which is committed to various social projects. Events and church services in which Schomerus was involved have often left a lasting impression.
The combination of cultural commitment, education and the maintenance of intercultural relationships shows that there is still a lot to celebrate in Cologne. Whether it's a cozy get-together or attending events like Schomerus' upcoming lecture - the city has a good knack for offering its citizens numerous opportunities to promote intercultural exchange.
In the coming weeks, the city will certainly be dressed in even more autumnal colors as people get ready to enjoy their favorite natural spots and perhaps even attend a reading or two from Schomerus. It remains exciting to see what else the people of Cologne have in store for this fall!
