Rolling skate fun in the new pop-up culture shop: the Kögel opening!

in Esslingen am Neckar a lot happens! After the Kögel fashion house was closed at the beginning of 2024, the premises now shine as a colorful pop-up culture shop. This creative place, which can be found in Zehentgasse 1 behind the Old Town Hall, will be used for a wide range of cultural offers until June 29, 2025. With urban cultural institutions, the city has set up a varied program that was very well received this May. Christine Heyder, the head of the cultural office, reports on enjoyable feedback and well -attended events.

The opening of the cultural shop came together with the beginning of new offers. Guests can look forward to activities such as wheelchairs, workshops for the production of plant colors and various exhibitions. A highlight is the planned exhibition "We are part of culture", in which queer personalities are presented from antiquity to the 20th century. This is implemented with the support of the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth.

diverse events and encounters

The next events in the kögel are already in the starting blocks. On June 10, a workshop for the production of watercolor paints from dye plants will take place, which should not be missed. Without registration, everyone can become creative and learn new things. A very special event is the rainbow reception on June 20, which begins at 6:30 p.m. A drag workshop from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. is offered here. These events are a great opportunity to celebrate the variety of urban culture.

• Events in the Kögel:
• Workshop for creating watercolor paints: June 10, 5 p.m., free.
• First meeting of "Come with!": June 11, 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., free entry to selected cultural institutions.
• Publication of Julika Rudelius' exhibition catalog: June 13, 4 p.m., with DJ set.
• Reading of the drag queen Queen Henni: June 14, 2 p.m., free.
• roller skate railway on the ground floor: June 25th and 29th, registration required.

As for cultural participation and the sense of community, it can be seen that such offers increase the quality of life in the city center. The activation of city rooms, as it is discussed by the city manufactory, is crucial to promote people's identification with their places of residence. This is not just about events, but about real encounters and experiences that enrich city life.

The initiative to revitalize the space creates an emotional connection to humans and lets it linger longer. An important aspect that decisively contributes to the revival of the city center. Who knows, maybe a regular tradition will develop from these events!

Further information and registration options for the events in the cultural shop can be found directly on the city website, where the shop windows of Fischbrunnenstrasse and Zehentgasse also present the cultural offers. It remains exciting in Esslingen!
