Travel back to your own past through music.
A journey through music history that quickly takes you back to your own past—that’s what the rock’n’popmuseum regularly offers music lovers aged 60 and older. The guided tours take place on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 2:30 p.m.
A few notes ring out, and there it is again—that goosebump-inducing moment, just like back then with that first kiss, that first heartbreak, or a spectacular concert. Probably everyone has memories like these, closely intertwined with certain songs and bands. But the 60-plus generation, in particular, has plenty of these memories to draw on. A special guided tour is now dedicated to their world of experiences. Elvis, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, rebels, hippies, rockers, punks, civil rights activists—they all make an appearance on this journey through the world of music at the rock’n’popmuseum. Through videos, interviews, personal artifacts, and photos—all made possible by state-of-the-art technology—they come impressively close to the visitors. The journey through music history thus becomes a journey into one’s own past and through one’s own memories. After the tour of the exhibition, participants are warmly invited to share their impressions over coffee and cake.
The cost of the tour is 19.00 euros and includes admission, the tour, and coffee and cake. The tour begins at 2:30 p.m.
Space is limited, so please purchase a ticket in advance—either online or directly at the rock’n’popmuseum.
Every first and third Wednesday of the month. Tickets for the guided tours are available at: https://rock-popmuseum.de/ticketshop/#!/e/bb674db7f2858fbe07832efae3557e01

A Glimpse of Home - Präötkes, Pils, and Polka

They’ll be performing “live” again on September 17 at 7:00 p.m. at the “Schoppe” on the Detert farm, Brinker Hook 16 in Epe; Tönne Speckmann and Kalle Höper, the stars of “Präötkes, Pils und Polka,” a full-length show featuring plenty of Low German stories from the vibrant everyday life of the little farming village of Spökenbiärg—that godforsaken backwater you can only reach with a lot of prayer and several transfers. In their usual style, the two present—with mischievous charm—another multifaceted program featuring new stories: earthy, hearty, and humorous, but above all, full of hidden meaning. As always, Tönne Speckmann will be accompanied by his congenial partner Kalle Höper on accordion and piano, performing well-known melodies.
The story revolves around visitors from Africa at Strohkötter’s farm or the turmoil caused by the sudden death of the magnificent bull “The Great Bellheim,” it covers everything from time-honored funeral rituals to the experiences of the “Guided Prayer” pilgrimage group in Lourdes, as well as Sunday family gatherings that get out of hand. But the real star of the evening is the venue—and it’s truly special: Carl Josef Detert has made his tavern available for this evening, creating a magnificent atmosphere that’s perfectly suited to the two of them. Admission is free; a donation box for a good cause should be filled by the end of the evening.

We’ve all been there: A cherished item—like your favorite sweater, an old music box, or a toaster—just breaks from one day to the next. Broken items
don’t always have to end up in the trash right away—in some cases, with a little expertise and some skill, they can be quickly repaired.
Since October 2018, volunteers at the Gronau Repair Café have been on hand every first Saturday of the month to perform minor repairs in exchange for a donation. You can watch them work up close
and learn how to fix the problem yourself next time.
ReparaturTreff sees its services as a stand against the “throwaway society” and aims to provide a social gathering place.

Miu
2026-10-17 20:00 | Turbine music club, Udo Lindenberg Square 1, Gronau, NRW, 48599, Deutschland
After Miu opens the concert for Alphaville at the Gronau Jazz Festival in May, she’ll be joining us at the Musikclub in October for her own club concert—intimate, up close, and full of atmosphere.
About ten years ago, the Hamburg native made a bold decision: a flight to New York, a performance at the legendary “The Bitter End”—and shortly thereafter, she quit her job in the advertising industry. It was the starting point of an impressive career.
Mius’s music is retro-inspired soul-pop, produced with a modern touch and carried by a warm, unmistakable voice. Her songs tell of self-doubt, new beginnings, and inner exploration—honest, reflective, and emotional. It is precisely this blend that has earned her a loyal fan base and widespread acclaim.
Her music is featured in many places: in ARD’s “Tatort” productions, on Netflix, and for brands like Montblanc. Miu was also the first artist to perform at the Elbphilharmonie—even before its official opening. She has shared the stage as an opening act for artists including Macy Gray, Gianna Nannini, Leon Bridges, and Stefanie Heinzmann. She successfully launched her last two albums into the charts via crowdfunding.
On this tour, Miu presents her latest album, “Ten Times Around the Sun”—a personal, powerful work that unfolds its full intensity in a club setting.
An evening for everyone who loves soul, pop, and indie and prefers to discover extraordinary female artists live rather than in hindsight.

Jürgen B. Hausmann
2026-11-07 20:00 | Gronau community hall, 20 Spinnereistraße, Gronau, 48599
25 years – Dat is e Ding!
Jürgen B. Hausmann has been inspiring audiences for 25 years with his
wonderful cabaret “straight from the front door”.
“Dat is e Ding!” says Jürgen B. Hausmann happily and looks back on 25 years of cabaret with gratitude and proud amazement. However, the old-school entertainer never runs out of ideas for his gags and programs. On the contrary – his stage experience, his unbeatable powers of observation and his direct line to the audience guarantee a constant stream of new punchlines.
And so “Dat is e Ding!” once again promises hilarious anecdotes – wonderfully over-the-top and yet as if taken from real life. The cabaret artist has once again packed his observations, experiences and adventures into wonderful, funny scenes. His cabaret comes straight from the living rooms, clubhouses and hobby markets of our country, his characters come from the family, from next door or run into him by chance. And the reactions in the audience reveal that one or two of them probably recognize themselves …
This is precisely where Jürgen B. Hausmann’s great strength lies. Thanks to his excellent powers of observation and his flair for comedy, the cabaret artist transforms everyday situations into spot-on, amusing stories and people like you and me into genuine originals. Or ennobles them in his wonderful vocal numbers, in which he is supported by his long-standing musical partner Harald Claßen.
Tickets are available by calling 02562 99006 (Touristinfo-Gronau, Konrad-Adenauer-Str. 45, 48599 Gronau)
or via EVENTIM.de
This is the catch-up date from 9.12.2025 + 22.02.2026
The tickets for the original dates will of course remain valid.
Otherwise, they can be returned to the advance booking office where they were purchased.

Ronja Maltzahn - BUTTERFLY AND WOLF
2026-11-13 20:00 | Turbine music club, Udo Lindenberg Square 1, Gronau, NRW, 48599, Deutschland
Ronja Maltzahn—“She played the cello” when Udo Lindenberg awarded her the Panik Prize for German Newcomers. Ronja’s music is at home in the wide world. She bears the name of Astrid Lindgren’s robber’s daughter and lives entirely in accordance with that prophecy. “The world is so much bigger than you think.” Her wanderlust has always carried her far and wide, traveling across five continents with a backpack, a book of poetry, and a ukulele. In 2018, she met her partner, Fede, in Italy; since then, music has been their shared life. From Buenos Aires to Paris, Toronto to Seoul, the two have now traveled to over 30 countries with their music, performed on more than 600 stages, translated their songs into various languages, and produced four studio albums featuring over 60 musical guests from all corners of the world. Her art is about more than just music. It’s about connection. About an attitude of fascinated openness to the world.
On stage, Ronja moves with a dancer’s grace from the cello to the ukulele to the synthesizer, with her partner Fede by her side on bass, Moog, and drum machine. She recites poetry, tells stories, and behind her elfin presence, visual projections dance as a sea of colors and landscapes sweep by.
The new album “FLOW” (which spells “Wolf” backward) pairs 12 songs with a picture book illustrated by Ukrainian artist Tanya (Tetiana SheWolf). Ronja stumbled upon Tanya’s art online a few years ago—she was only 15 at the time—and Tanya drew an animated music video for one of Ronja’s songs. When the war broke out, Tanya had to leave her homeland and now lives with Ronja and Fede; she’s an integral part of the artistic family. In the new album, the two artistic sisters have combined their languages, blending colors and sounds into a 140-page picture book story that tells of courage, hope, and friendship, and explores the meaning of home. It has been translated into three languages (English, German, Ukrainian), and each chapter features a song.
As part of the new concert series, Tanya exhibits her paintings on large wooden canvases and takes the stage live; using brushes and paints, she creates a painting live on stage to the music.

Whispers from Südstadt – The “Village Podcast” with Otto Lohle – Part 1
2026-11-17 19:00 | Georg’s gallery, 21 Merschstraße, Gronau-Epe, 48599
Whispers from Südstadt – the “Village Podcast” with Otto Lohle – Part 1
Experiences and Confessions of an Agatha Aboriginal: With references to world politics, German federal politics, but above all to local events, as well as brief glimpses into the music scene of the time, “Dorfgeflüster” takes visitors on a wild roller-coaster ride through the almost forgotten days of the 1950s and 1960s in Epe. Let’s be honest: Who didn’t know them—the central figures of village life, such as “Aunt Käthe” from the kindergarten at Josefshaus, the fearsome Principal Aschenbach, the raspy voice of “Grandma Nacke,” Alwine, the manager of the Grand Hotel Richters, the legendary Peter Hamm, and the fruit and vegetable barons Katzwinkel and “Löna.” Does that ring a bell?
In “Dorfgeflüster,” Otto Lohle deliberately focuses on direct interaction with the audience in a humorous way and a relaxed atmosphere, allowing guests to share their childhood and teenage experiences in an entertaining way.
Part 2 of the village podcast will take place on February 16, 2027.
Advance tickets: 15 euros

GRAB YOUR FUTURE!

Companies in the Borken district are opening their doors to help young people enter the workforce.

On Thursday, November 19, 2026, numerous companies offering apprenticeships in the Borken district will once again open their doors from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. — in a relaxed atmosphere and without a set program.

During the event, participating companies welcome interested high school students, young adults, parents, and other guests directly at their own locations. They provide information on-site about the company, its apprenticeship opportunities, and internships.

Those interested in apprenticeships can visit the companies freely and without pressure—and get a comprehensive picture of their potential apprenticeship position. Gaining a firsthand impression of the work environment, the team, and the tasks involved makes it easier to choose the right apprenticeship—and is often the first step toward a successful professional future.

Markus Krebs
2026-11-19 20:00 | Gronau community hall, 20 Spinnereistraße, Gronau, 48599
15 years of Markus Krebs – The best of 6 live programs.
If anyone knows how to fill large halls with pub humor, it’s him: Markus Krebs, the man behind the belly, who has risen from the regulars’ table to the nation’s big stages with a bar stool, a microphone and an unshakeable Ruhrpott charm. For 15 years, one gag has followed the next – honest, crude, direct and with a gag density that is second to none.
In his new anniversary program, the stool rocker serves up the best of six legendary live shows – a concentrated load of humour, spiced up with fresh jokes from pub life, taken straight from real life. Markus Krebs is a cult figure, his “Brennholzverleih” has long since become a brand, his punchlines have been shared millions of times and his shows are sold out up and down the country.
It feels like you’re sitting at the bar with him – with a beer in your hand and a permanent grin on your face. Honest. Authentic. Hilarious.
This is Markus Krebs: 15 years of live comedy, 6 programs, millions of fans – and no end in sight.
Get your tickets now – for an evening that is guaranteed to be legendary!
Markus Krebs – 15 years. One man. One microphone. No tempo. But one gag after another.

An evening like at the bar – authentic, coarse, legendary.

23rd Gronau Poetry Slam
2026-11-27 20:15 - 22:30 | Cinetech Gronau, Mühlenmathe 37, Gronau, 48599
The Power of Words
23rd Gronau Poetry Slam on November 27, 2026, at Cinetech Gronau
The Cinetech in Gronau will once again become a mecca for wordsmiths at the 23rd Gronau Poetry Slam.
The concept behind this consistently captivating stage show is as simple as it is effective. Five brave writers compete against one another with texts they’ve written entirely on their own, using their whole bodies in their performances. Whether it’s a short story or a poem, read from a script or performed from memory, shouted or whispered—anything that comes from the writer’s own pen and fits within a tight six-minute time slot may be presented. As varied as the performances are, they all have one thing in common: the participants’ verbal acrobatics are impressive and make the audience laugh, reflect, or even move them to tears. The audience is actively involved; through scoring and the intensity of their applause, they decide who advances to the next round and ultimately emerges as the winner of the poetry contest. Top-notch entertainment is guaranteed in any case.
As always, Marian Heuser—the 2017 NRW runner-up and founder of the “World of WORDcraft” poetry slam series—will be guiding us through the evening with his usual charm.
The event begins at 8:15 p.m., doors open at 7:30 p.m. It is organized by the Gronau Cultural Office in cooperation with the Gronau Family Education Center.
Tickets (advance sales starting at €18.30 / at the door €23.00) are available, for example, at the Gronau Tourist Information Office, at other Eventim ticket outlets, or online at www.eventim.de.

The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others - A Celebration of Film Music
2027-01-17 20:00 | Gronau community hall, 20 Spinnereistraße, Gronau, 48599
The symphonic world of Hans Zimmer, featuring music from James Bond, The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, Top Gun, Dune, and more!
Berlin / Los Angeles – “The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others” is an unforgettable concert and audiovisual experience for all ages, movie enthusiasts, music lovers, and families. The music will be performed by the Hollywood Film Orchestra in a spectacular show featuring light installations, laser projections, and selected film clips. Star soloists from the original Broadway production will perform excerpts from “The Lion King,” Zimmer’s most popular blockbuster.
No other composer has influenced the film world as much over the past two decades as Oscar, Golden Globe, and Emmy Award winner Hans Zimmer, with his breathtaking compositions for films such as “James Bond,” “The Lion King,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Gladiator,” “The Dark Knight,” “Man of Steel,” “Inception,” and “Interstellar.”
Acclaimed German composer Hans Zimmer, who has written the scores for more than 200 films, won his second Oscar for “Dune” (2022), after receiving his first Academy Award for “The Lion King” (1994).
Hans Zimmer has described Ennio Morricone as his idol and role model; excerpts from Morricone’s repertoire, including “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in the West,” will be featured. Zimmer followed Morricone’s example of composing the film score before—rather than after—filming and left his mark on the entire work. For example, he reworked the opening of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator,” prompting the world-famous director to move into Hans Zimmer’s studio.

Vanja Sky
2027-02-13 20:00 | Turbine music club, Udo Lindenberg Square 1, Gronau, NRW, 48599, Deutschland
Vanja Sky is Croatia’s answer to Sheryl Crow and Norah Jones – and has long been a fixture on the international blues and rock scene. Her career reads like a modern rock fairytale: Just five years after picking up the guitar, she recorded her debut album at the legendary Bessie Blues Studios in Tennessee – together with greats from the international blues scene and under the direction of Grammy-winning producer Jim Gaines.
Vanja finally achieved their breakthrough with their second album “Woman Named Trouble”. In 2020, ROCKS MAGAZINE named the album one of the best releases of the year – alongside albums by AC/DC, Deep Purple, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. Since then, Vanja Sky is no longer an insider tip, but one of the most exciting artists between blues, rock and classic retro sound.
Her musical roots lie deep in the blues, inspired by legends such as Rory Gallagher, Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. At the same time, Vanja has the energy and attitude of rock: raw, honest and full of passion. With her distinctive voice and vintage sound, reminiscent of Joan Jett, she combines tradition and modernity in a unique way.
In 2023, she released her third album “reborn”, a powerful statement of new beginnings and artistic development. Vanja is supported by top-class guests such as Gerry McAvoy (Rory Gallagher) and Ric Lee (Ten Years After). The title says it all: Vanja Sky is more mature, more rocking – without losing her blues soul.
Vanja Sky unfolds her full strength live. Whether at international festivals, in the ROCKPALAST or as support for legends such as Suzi Quatro, UFO and Canned Heat – her stage presence is intense, captivating and authentic.

Whispers from Südstadt – the “Village Podcast” with Otto Lohle – Part 2
2027-02-16 19:00 | Georg’s gallery, 21 Merschstraße, Gronau-Epe, 48599
Whispers from Südstadt – the “Village Podcast” with Otto Lohle – Part 2
Experiences and Confessions of an Agatha Aboriginal: With references to world politics, German federal politics, but above all to local events, as well as brief glimpses into the music scene of the time, “Dorfgeflüster” takes visitors on a wild roller-coaster ride through the almost forgotten days of the 1960s and 1970s in Epe. Let’s be honest: Who didn’t know them—the central figures of village life like “Aunt Käthe” from the kindergarten at Josefshaus, the fearsome Principal Aschenbach, the raspy voice of “Grandma Nacke,” Alwine, the manager of the Grand Hotel Richters, the legendary Peter Hamm, and the fruit and vegetable barons Katzwinkel and “Löna.” Does that ring a bell?
In “Dorfgeflüster,” Otto Lohle deliberately focuses on direct interaction with the audience in a humorous way and a relaxed atmosphere, allowing guests to share their childhood and teenage experiences in an entertaining way.
Advance tickets: 15 euros

Since October 2024, she has been continuing her studies at the Robert Schumann University of Music in Düsseldorf. Yuhao Guo studied piano at the Cologne University of Music and Dance.
Advance tickets: 15 euros; at the box office: 20 euros

BERND STELTER “Sun in my heart, nonsense in my head!”
2027-04-08 20:00 | Gronau community hall, 20 Spinnereistraße, Gronau, 48599
BERND STELTER on tour in 2027 with a new show:
“Sunshine in my heart, nonsense in my head!”
For decades, BERND STELTER has been one of the defining figures in the German entertainment scene. For over 35 years, he has been delighting his audiences as a cabaret artist, musician, author, and television host—with an unmistakable blend of humor, music, and subtle, thoughtful undertones.
His artistic roots lie in the Rhineland Carnival, where his career began in the late 1980s. He later gained nationwide recognition through radio and television programs, including as a long-time cast member of the cult show “7 Tage, 7 Köpfe.” BERND STELTER has also enjoyed great success as an author: In addition to humorous nonfiction books, he has published several novels—including his popular camping mysteries—which have made it onto the SPIEGEL bestseller list.
For many years, the stage has been at the center of his artistic work. He successfully tours throughout Germany with his solo shows—always striving not only to make his audience laugh but also to make them think. Music plays a special role in this: As a singer and multi-instrumentalist, BERND STELTER weaves stories and songs into deeply personal moments.
In his new show, “Sonne im Herzen, Blödsinn im Kopp!” (Sun in the Heart, Nonsense in the Head!), he puts this very musical side front and center. For BERND STELTER, songs are little miracles: in just a few minutes, they can tell stories, capture moods, and convey emotions—sometimes humorous, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes upbeat, sometimes melancholic.
He writes his songs the way other people keep a diary. They tell of what moves him: Was there sunshine in his heart? Or was there just a bit of nonsense in his head? Maybe both.
The song recital “Sun in the Heart, Nonsense in the Head!” brings it all together—a life in music, sometimes loud, sometimes soft, sometimes full of joie de vivre, and then thoughtful again. And in the end, it leaves you with exactly what a good evening should: After two hours full of laughter, dreams, singing along, and smiles, the audience goes home with a warm feeling.
