Children's city Tiberanda: An adventure for 130 little explorers in Meiningen!

The anticipation in Meiningen increases, because from July 28th to August 2, 2025, the parking lot at the Meininger Volkshochschule is transformed into the colorful children's city "Tiberanda". Here, 130 children from the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district can try out exciting professions and immerse themselves in a world that belongs entirely to the little ones. Almost 200 applications for coveted participation had been received last year, and this year the organizers are also full of optimism for a colorful week full of adventure and creativity.

But what exactly does the participating children expect? In Tiberanda you have the opportunity to discover a total of 16 different professions. These include artists and actors who are very popular with the little ones. Handicrafts, such as the construction of the "Tiberanda racing car", will stimulate the creative potential of the children and every child can also choose a city council member. These city councilors, in turn, choose two mayors. This is how the one is encouraged early on!

a program full of possibilities

From Tuesday to Friday, city tours take place regularly at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., which give the boys and girls an overview of the various activities and professions. In addition, security measures are very important: the fire brigade and paramedics are always ready to ensure security and to provide first aid if necessary. On Saturday, August 2, there will finally be a public children's city festival, in which the participants can present their projects and results to the public. A great degree for a week full of learning effects and communal cooperation.

The children's city of Tiberanda is not only a highlight in Meiningen, but also joins the tradition of similar projects in Germany. There are numerous children's cities across Germany that offer children the opportunity to actively help shape and experience their surroundings themselves. According to GEO.de, other cities such as Berlin with Fezitty or Leipzig with the “City in the City” are part of this concept, which has inspired and promoted children for years.

Registrations for Tiberanda have been possible since the end of April. It is worth being quick - the places are in demand! Children between the ages of 7 and 13 can look forward to an unforgettable week that not only promises a lot of fun, but also offers a good knack for personal development and sense of community.

So if you want to combine your vacation with an exciting and educational experience three weeks after the big holidays, Tiberanda should certainly remember. You can also find more information on the pages of Insuedthueringen.de and rhoenkanal.de .
