Summer festival in the court garden: Obelisk is fighting for Potsdam's cultural heritage!

The Potsdam cabaret Obelisk celebrated its traditional summer festival in the Hofgarten last weekend, and it was a real festival of cultivation and conviviality. Chair of the association "Friends of the Potsdamer Kabarett Obelisk e.V.", Dorothea Rührmund , opened the event with an urgent appeal for the local cultural scene. In view of the tense financial situation, it is more important than ever to promote culture through memberships and donations, says Rührmund.

The summer festival not only offered a platform for obtaining necessary funds, but also an exciting cultural program. The co -stem members of the cabaret, Andreas Zieger, Helmut Fensch, Bella Liere and Lutz Andres, captivated the guests with samples from their pieces "The Merz also has nice days" and "Better sex after six to five to twelve". They also sang musical highlights that ranged from the Beatles to Andrea Berg. The performance of from Leipzig was particularly amusing. "Boomer-Comedy" made the audience laugh and on June 20, 2025 with his new program "With everything! Exception!" will appear again in the court garden.

The support association was founded in 1991 and has set itself the goal of supporting the important work of the cabaret in the Potsdam cultural landscape. He not only finances technical equipment, but also ensures that new productions of the in -house ensemble regularly come on stage. Members also benefit from advantages, such as early access to tickets and discounted admission prices for their accompaniment. Membership can be applied for at any time to preserve the cultural diversity of Potzdam.

support on broad front

The importance of cultural promotion is also recognized at the national level, as a study of the Federal Art and Cultural Promotion. This focuses on supporting institutions and projects of national relevance and thus strengthens the country's cultural identity. In this way, the preservation of important cultural monuments and buildings is actively promoted, and the Potsdam summer festival and its cultural initiatives also benefit from these efforts.

The Hofgarten, which has been serving as a summer event for the cabaret for almost 30 years, remains an important element of the Potsdam cultural scene. Events take place in the months from June to August when the weather is nice. The commitment of the association and the entire commitment of the artists ensure that the court garden will continue to be a place of encounter and artistic exchange in the future.
