Historical backdrop with special radiance

The Little Church is not just an event location but a place with character: The oldest church in Karlsruhe was built between 1773 and 1776 and continues to shape the cityscape today with its own, unique atmosphere. This very setting makes the generational festival so appealing, as it brings together city history, encounters, and the present.

Participate instead of just watching

The program consciously focuses on participation. Tours with Claudia Rauch and Claus Temps, the bicycle theater with Uwe Mayer, and the participatory offer Salsation with Ilka ensure movement and lively moments. Additionally, there will be a participatory photo studio with Gülay Keskin, henna tattoos, a mini-museum, a creative table, a participatory canvas, a crafting table, a popcorn machine, and the historical project 'History in Pictures'.
