Magical South Thuringia: Stories and Songs at Bertholdsburg Castle

When the walls of Bertholdsburg in Schleusingen rise into the evening, a journey into long-past times begins. At MAGICAL SOUTH THURINGIA, regional tales, legends, and myths combine with old songs and melodies to create an atmospheric stage experience in a historical setting.

Art of Storytelling between History and Memory

Michaela Pfütsch leads the audience through the legendary tradition of South Thuringia. Her storytelling opens an imaginary space where oral tradition, regional history, and mysterious motifs intertwine. The dramaturgy of the evening thrives on the immediate closeness between voice, space, and audience.

Old Melodies, New Soundscapes

Kristina Werner accompanies the event with singing and guitar. Old songs and melodies set musical accents, deepen the theatrical atmosphere, and give the stories an almost bard-like resonance. The acoustics of the historic castle rooms form a resonant backdrop for a sensory cultural experience.

The Castle as Part of the Staging

Bertholdsburg is more than a venue: the historic residence castle itself becomes the set. As a landmark of Schleusingen and an important secular building in South Thuringia, it connects history, architecture, and cultural mediation. Within the ancient walls, the legends of the county acquire a special spatial depth.

An Evening for Lovers of Regional Culture

The event is aimed at all those interested in folk culture, literature, music, and the history of South Thuringia. The combination of storytelling theater and live music creates a concentrated, decelerated atmosphere and makes regional traditions immediately tangible.

Conclusion

MAGICAL SOUTH THURINGIA promises an atmospheric evening full of stories, voices, and old sounds. Those who wish to experience the cultural identity of the region up close will find an impressive setting at Bertholdsburg Castle. Tickets will be available from August 25, 2026, at the museum box office; any remaining tickets can be obtained at the evening box office.
