Romantic city duel: Who celebrates Caspar David Friedrich's birthday better?

In a creative homage to the famous painter Caspar David Friedrich, a unique festival is celebrated today, on the occasion of his 250th birthday. A costume competition is organized in the two cities of Greifswald, where Friedrich was born, and Dresden, where he later lived. The aim is to determine the city with the largest number of people who dress in the romantic style.

The event begins at 4 p.m. and promises a wonderful gathering of artists, historians and romantic enthusiasts. At the Neumarkt in Dresden and on the market square in Greifswald, the participants are expected, which present themselves in historical costumes from the time of romance. The bet between the two cities is: The city with the highest number of participants can rightly call itself a "true Caspar-David-Friedrich-Stadt".

In addition to the competition, the celebration will be rich in cultural experiences. In Greifswald, visitors can look forward to a diverse cultural program. The well -known songwriter Philipp Dittberner will be on stage and present his melodies, which perfectly match the romantic mood of the occasion. The connection between Friedrich's creative heritage and modern music creates an atmosphere of coexistence and reflection.

In the meantime, a jazz band will entertain the guests in Dresden with musical sounds. In addition, there is a romantic dancing shop, which gives visitors the opportunity to immerse yourself in the dancing form of expression of the time. These events are not only a tribute to Friedrich, but also invite the participants to actively participate in the culture. Cake is also offered to enrich the special occasion with a sweet note.

These celebrations are more than just a simple competition - they also represent a desire for connection and cultural exchange between the cities. At a time when the looking examination of our history becomes increasingly important, it is remarkable how this event not only celebrates romance, but also integrates into the present. Friedrich, known for his impressive landscapes and its philosophical views of nature and people, remains a central part of German art history.

Finally, the festival shows how the cultural heritage can be kept alive. The assembly of people in the protection of art offers a platform for new encounters, the exchange of ideas and the appreciation of their own history. While the participants bring the streets to life in their costumes, the spirit of Caspar David Friedrich becomes noticeable - an artist who has inspired history and landscape with each other and inspired generations.
