Festival OSTEN

OSTEN is a festival for art and mutual interest that will take place for the first time from 1 to 17 July 2022.  From the Kulturpalast, the festival explores Bitterfeld-Wolfen as an example of social and ecological change in eastern Germany. Theatre, performances, workshops, excursions, installations and other formats invite people to concern and exchange with the history and present of the town of Bitterfeld.

Founded in 2020, Kulturpark e. V. is committed to creating and forming networks between cultural structures in eastern Germany. Kulturpark was set up to provide new platforms on which to explore the social and political history of the East, and above all to give it a new image through the medium of art. The festival is organised by the artistic directors Christine Leyerle, Aljoscha Begrich and Ludwig Haugk, the OSTEN team, a network of cultural institutions and the people of Bitterfeld-Wolfen.
