Welcome to the Kulturbüro Gronau!

Our work in the cultural office is characterised by a great variety of programmes and a wide range of activities behind the scenes. Whether concerts, theatre performances or lectures, there is something for every taste. With great commitment, we organise special formats such as the Night Insights with spectacular light installations, cultural events at various venues or the regular Gronau Poetry Slam.

And yet the heart of the city beats especially for music – Gronau is and remains the city of music in the countryside.

Enabling children and young people to access and participate in cultural activities is an important part of our work, e.g. through cooperation with schools and daycare centers as well as an open offer at our youth centers.

And also the youth centers of our city and the rock’n’popmuseum offer a wide range of creative activities, just have a look.

The music town of Gronau is characterised above all by a lively club life. Numerous choirs, bands and music groups and not least the MIG 90 music initiative as an umbrella organization of local amateur bands make their voluntary contribution to a colourful cultural life and make Gronau what it is.
Here we introduce you to the individual cultural associations, choirs and bands.

Awards

Kommunales Gesamtkonzept

Overall concept for cultural education

The state government of North Rhine-Westphalia supports the development of cultural network structures at the municipal level and promotes cities, municipalities and municipal associations that work in a planned manner on the quality of their cultural education landscape through the award “Municipal Overall Concepts for Cultural Education”.

The aim is to open up opportunities for all children and young people to encounter art and culture and to develop an interest in the diversity of cultural life.

The municipal overall concepts are intended to present a systematic further development of cultural education as well as a coordinated and joint approach of politics and administration in culture and education in a comprehensible way.

Gronau took part in the competition for the first time in 2022 and was able to convince the jury of the submitted concept with the first serve. The Minister for Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Ms. Ina Brandes, did not miss the opportunity to personally present the award. The €15,000 in funding associated with the award will be used over the next two years to support cultural education projects in the city and help build a strong and active cultural network.
