International barrel organ festival

The International Hurdy-Gurdy Festival is back in the “Colorful City on the Rhine river” when the reels start turning and wooden pipes start trilling.

Around Ascension Day, the “Colorful City on the Rhine” revives old, cherished traditions with the International Barrel Organ Festival. Various barrel organ players from Germany, Austria, Norway and Switzerland put the historic old town in a nostalgic mood. Almost everything can be heard, from Moritaten to Berliner Zille and Kölsche Tön.

A special highlight is the charity concert “Barrel organs in classical concert”, because the special acoustics of the beautiful old St. Martin's Church harmonize perfectly with the classical sounds of the historic barrel organs. An event with a very special charm.

The event “Barrel organs in classical concert” takes place on May 30 at 5 pm in St. Martin's Church.
Entrance is free, but the barrel organ players ask for a donation for a good cause.

Stroll, enjoy, listen and linger in the “Colorful City on the Rhine”.
We look forward to your visit.
