Arnstadt celebrates magical night of the arts - rain cannot take us!

Prinzenhof, 99310 Arnstadt, Deutschland - Last Saturday, July 12, 2025, Arnstadt experienced the first “Nacht der Künste” - a festival of creative diversity that, despite adverse weather conditions, became a success. The event took place in the picturesque Prinzenhof and in the church garden of the Liebfrauenkirche, and offered a colorful program that ranged from musical performances to literature and hands -on activities. The city of Arnstadt and the city and district library organized this event, which went from 4:00 p.m. to midnight. As the Thuringian Allgemeine Together, which led to rescheduling at the last minute. But the visitors were not impressed and were in a good mood.

The stage in the Prinzenhof stopped, but a second stage was also prepared in the coin cellar to meet the requirements of the weather. The program was promising: Anja Dobers and Martin Chaves provided a wonderful mood with a soulful performance of a ZAZ song and their guitar music. The tone collective from Leipzig also impressed the guests with a mixture of pop, soul, blues and oldies.

The focus was particularly on literary offers. Antje Horn told the city library "Stories from the Hat" that captivated both children and adults. In addition to exciting readings by Thomas Niedlich, who read from his regional thriller "Ochsenblutrot", guests were also able to try out relaxing exercises with Petra Grinholc.

a successful start with a view to the future

The organizers were very satisfied with the course of the first night of the arts. Carsten Römhildt described the event as a successful test run. There are already inquiries from innkeepers for a larger event next year. This shows that the idea of establishing such a festival in Arnstadt has fallen on fertile soil.

In order to ensure the security of the event despite the bad weather conditions, a well -thought -out security concept was required. The German Weather Service supports organizers in better assessment and making well -founded decisions. This becomes particularly important when you consider that factors such as stability of the buildings and protection options play a major role for visitors. In this sense, everyone involved hopes that the “Night of the Arts” will be even bigger and better next year.
