Two colours, eleven events and lots of new things – this is this year’s program of the BZ holiday campaign in Freiburg with beautiful insights and outlooks. Also included: a visit to a piano workshop.
It’s summer, it’s starting again: The BZ holiday campaign starts on Thursday in Freiburg. This year we have set ourselves a very clear theme: black and white. We only say: sheep! We say: Teeth! And we say: Bat detectors! Anyone who is now curious can find out here which events are attracting this year’s holiday campaign. As always, we would first like to thank everyone who takes part in these events, without their commitment the holiday fun would simply not be possible and would not be free of charge either. And please note: Online registration is required for all events. We will announce each of the eleven campaigns again about a week in advance with the exact address. Have fun!
Monastery, black and white: Tuesday, August 2, 4.30 p.m., Rathausgasse/corner of Rotteckring
We invite you to a guided tour with the director of the City Museum, Peter Kalchthaler. It is about the story of two Friborg monasteries, one black and one white. This includes a visit to a nun’s crypt. In the crypt and in the so-called wine cellar there is a lapidarium – unknown to many Freiburg residents – a collection of stones with 34 original tombstones that come from the old cemetery. Who knows that the local landmark of the Old Cemetery is “only” a replica?
Registrations are now possible: mehr.bz/ferienaktion-schwarzeskloster
At Atelier Immerschwarz: Thursday, August 4, 4 p.m., Salzstrasse 47
Her creations are total works of art: you can wear them, admire them, exhibit them as art. The designer Anna Nickel relies on black and tailors clothes to dream and marvel at from a wide variety of fabrics. When she visits her store in downtown Freiburg, she explains her concept. It means: fashion and art.

How to sign up
All eleven offers require registration for space reasons – and this is again online. This makes the organization much easier for us and guarantees reliable planning of the holiday campaign. In order to enable as many readers as possible to participate, there is again an upper limit: Participation is limited to three offers per capita. To ensure that these are not all fully booked at once, registration is only released about a week in advance. We will announce this again in good time in your BZ. Registrations for the first two events are now possible. The link to this can be found at the end of the description (see above).
White teeth: Tuesday, August 9, 3 p.m., lecture hall at the dental clinic
White teeth are an ideal of beauty. The trend comes from the USA, where the “perfect” smile has long been part of a well-groomed appearance. Karl-Thomas Wrbas, Senior Physician at the Dental Clinic, explains when and which bleaching methods are appropriate. Phillipp Poxleitner from Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, which takes care of the medical care of the mouth, teeth and throat, explains that it’s not just about beauty, but also about medical necessities. The subsequent tour of the phantom hall and the surgical area of the Freiburg Dental Clinic is exclusive to the participants.
Registration from August 4th
Schwarzwald Sportiv: Tuesday, August 16, 5:30 p.m., probably from Ehrenkirchen
Germany’s biggest cycling festival, the Deutschlandtour, is coming through the Black Forest on August 27th. We cycle part of the way in advance. The mayor of Horben, Benjamin Brcker, and Thomas Coch, managing director of Mnstertal-Touristik and the driving force behind the organization of the Deutschland Tour in the region, will accompany the cyclists. Attention: The tour is extremely sporty. Normal bicycles, but also e-bikes are not suitable because of the steep incline.
Registration will be announced
Flying artists of the night: Thursday, August 18, 8:15 p.m., VAG Rohrgraben stop
bat! They are available almost worldwide and of course here too. Beate Hippchen and Jacob Vie from the German Nature Conservation Union present the lifestyles of various bat species and give tips on what you can do to actively protect these bats. During an evening walk at the Dietenbachsee, the little hunters of the skies are tracked down with the help of bat detectors; these can make the location sounds of bats audible and visible. Please note: The event will not take place in the event of rain and/or storms.
Registration from August 13th
Black and White Art: Tuesday, August 23, 3 p.m., Museum of Contemporary Art
The white, larger-than-life figure of the “Rising Youth” with its overlong, thin, almost emaciated limbs stands in front of a black background and looks very modern, although it is more than a century old. The director of the Museum für Neue Kunst, Christine Litz, introduces the figure and its implications for the time and the artist Wilhelm Lehmbruck. All participants who are dressed in black and white for this campaign will be invited to a non-alcoholic drink in the museum.
Registration from August 19th
Martial arts in Wei: Thursday, August 25, 6 p.m., Karoline Kaspar School
Judo is not only a Japanese martial art, but also a personal development philosophy. Judo literally means “gentle way”. The Freiburg Judo Club introduces the sport to those taking part in the holiday campaign and enables them to do their first practical exercises. Please wear comfortable clothing.
Registration from August 22nd
Black Sheep: Tuesday, August 30, 4 p.m., Weinberg, Schlierbergstrasse 169
Sheep in the vineyard are not yet well known, but the project has real potential. Jakob Hrl, who accompanies the research project of the Viticulture Institute, explains to the participants how a flock of sheep lives in the vineyard and how sheep grazing affects white and red grapes. A real sheep wine product is then tried: the “sheep wine – Bacat Ros”.
Registration from August 25th
Chess and Deutschmann: Thursday, September 1, 4 p.m., Ganter beer garden
The strategic board game fascinates many people: chess. Anyone who has always wanted to compete against the Freiburg cabaret artist and excellent player Matthias Deutschmann now has the opportunity to do so. When the weather is good in the beer garden, when the weather is bad in the Wodanhalle, he competes simultaneously against his opponents.
Registration from August 27th
Black and white film: Monday, September 5, 6 p.m., municipal cinema
With “La Strada” the director Federico Fellini had his first worldwide success and became an international star. The film tells the simultaneously fairytale and real story of the itinerant traveling showman Zampano (Anthony Quinn) and the naïve and sensitive Gelsomina (Giulietta Masina). The Artistic Director of the Municipal Cinema, Neriman Bayram, and the projectionist will give an introduction.
Registration from September 1st
Sounding keys: Tuesday, September 6, 4 p.m., Pianohaus Lepthien
A guided tour through the piano building workshop of the Pianohaus Lepthien is something of a rarity. We are allowed to go into the Holy of Holies for 60 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the interests of the participants. This is followed, exclusively for the holiday campaign, by a short piano concerto lasting 10 to 20 minutes.
Registration from September 2nd
