Herbert Grönemeyer opens the Schlosslichtspiele in Karlsruhe: A festival of the lights!

The upcoming concert by Herbert Grönemeyer in front of the Karlsruhe Castle is not only a musical highlight, but also the prelude to this year's castle light games. This popular series of events attracts thousands of visitors year after year and offers a fascinating combination of music and impressive light installations. Grönemeyer's commitment to democracy and his close connection to the city make it an ideal choice for this start.

What influence do the castle light games have on Karlsruhe?

The locksmithing games that were launched in 2015 have developed into an important cultural event. They not only attract tourists, but also strengthen the sense of community of the city population. This year, the light games have the motto "Everybody Counts" and address the importance of the Basic Law. The light installations, including the musical performances, promote exchange and discussion about important social issues.

Transport and arrival: tips for visitors

For the two concerts by Grönemeyer next weekend, in which 20,000 fans are expected, the car is urgently advised to do without the car because of the construction site situation in the city center. Martin Wacker, head of Karlsruhe Marketing and Event GmbH, warns of possible traffic problems and instead recommends using park-and-ride places or public transport. From the stop at the market square it is only 150 meters to the castle, which makes access easier.

a unique experience with light and music

The concerts in front of the castle are not only musically, but also visually an experience: the castle facade is illuminated with a special light show that will only be available on these two evenings. This connection of music and light is also seen by the organizers as a high art form that captivates the audience and intensifies the visual representation of the music.

parking and admission regulations

For those who want to travel by car, the KME recommends parking in the southern city center and the birch parking lot at the Wildpark Stadium. Since the underground car park at Schlossplatz is currently not barrier -free, bottlenecks can quickly occur here. Admission to the concerts is possible from 6 p.m., and seven entrances with around 50 locks are available to steer the flows of visitors. Food and beverage stands offer a variety of options where cash can also be paid.

important cultural events and future programs

The program of the lock light games offers a total of 36 new and old shows this year, which with light art give a fascinating insight into the connection between nature and culture. The highlights include moving to the future on August 17th and the anti-War Day on September 1st. In addition, a new event, the wine lights, will take place on the first weekend in September, where regional wines can be enjoyed.

Overall, it can be seen that the concert and the subsequent locksmith games not only offer entertainment, but also represent a platform for important social issues and the growing together of the community.
