& JULIA - Das Musical

What would happen if Juliet was given a second chance at life and love after Romeo's death? This question is answered by the turbulent musical & JULIA in Hamburg, which heralds the beginning of a fast-paced and colorful comedy in which the 16th century meets pop culture. After Romeo's death, Juliet makes the decision to leave the drama in Verona behind and flee to Paris. Here she encounters new adventures, challenges and is given a second chance to take control of her destiny.

Among the 24 number 1 pop hits that are heard in their original English version in this musical comedy are, for example, Katy Perry's "Roar", Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop The Feeling" and "Perfect" by P!nk . Experience Julia's captivating story in a completely new dimension - an unforgettable spectacle that you shouldn't miss!

In 1999, the artists Udo Dettmann and René Havekost founded the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, which has used the former first and second class waiting room in the historic train station Hamburg-Harburg as an exhibition space ever since. Under its various curators the program soon evolved into a representation of developments in contemporary art across a wide range of media and a conveyance of topical issues of artistic production. Over time the Kunstverein developed into a place where not only up-and-coming artists could realize their first major exhibition, but also curators – often with their first directorial responsibility – used the institution as a field for experimentation.

In the past 25 years, 18 different curators have shaped the Kunstverein’s artistic program and many of them are still closely connected to the art world as curators, teachers, researchers or writers. To mark the anniversary, we would like to view the Kunstverein’s exhibition space as a three-dimensional guestbook in to order take a look at its varied and many-voiced past and reassess its status quo. All former artistic directors are invited to curate a guest contribution for the Kunstverein, to take another look at this exhibition space from their current perspective. The almost uncontrollable end result is conceptually closely interwoven with the Kunstverein’s agenda, which has always revolved around experimentation on both the artistic and curatorial side.

The program of the Kunstverein is made possible by the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, and the Liebelt-Stiftung, Hamburg.

Adventsmesse in der Koppel

On the four Advent weekends before Christmas, this year it can also be gazed on three floors of the Koppel 66 for Christmas gifts and useful things.

On every fair there is something new to discover! The selection of the exhibitors is always slightly modified. For the first time, the wooden designer Hanjo Bergeest was presented with high-quality toy car sets made of untreated wood which he developed together with educators. Hand-colored prints and playful accessories made of aluminum sheet will inspire the visitors or the charming colorful figures of the Russian artist Kira Kottliar. Also the especially large selection of handmade hats: This time, two new fashionists (Hats on Stage and Bernhard Westermann) have found a place on the show - in addition to the varied collections already offered by craftsmen of the house. This year, everyone who appreciates the exquisite hat-couture will surely find the right one and fashionably well "guarded" and happily leave the paddock 66.

The quality and originality of the exhibitors is high. Many of them have received prestigious prizes and are already bidding in the early summer for one of the approximately 70 possible places at the four adventures of the Adventsmesse. Visitors and exhibitors love the atmosphere in the listed building in the middle of St. Georg, built in the style of the new Sachlichkeit in the 1920s as a machine factory in the style of the Hamburg architect and city guide Fritz Schumacher.

The audience favorites among the exhibitor guests are not missing this time either. About Steve Tomashek, called "Mini-Steve". He expands the army of his tiny carved figures of wood each time around a few lovable animal shapes. Sylvia Wegner will once again be enthusiastic about her fans with her elegant leather bags, and Bernd Burmeister will make hobby cooks happy with handmade high carbon knives. Visitors who have already discovered that, in addition to a wide selection of imaginative jewelry, fashion, Accessories and textiles in the subparterre individual carpets and handmade soaps, this year perhaps will find out what exciting art is to be admired in the studio Sazarin. The studio was the first one that the artist Michael Sazarin had brought to the founding of the sponsoring club Koppel 66 - and that was already 35 years! This year, the artisans celebrated their anniversary with the friendly neighborhood.

If you do not find anything suitable, you can comfort yourself in the cozy Café Koppel with vegetarian - gluten-free and vegan - treats, of which there are always a few special features more than usual.

Adventszeit St. Markus

Also this year there will be a festive reunion with St. Mark's Advent in the district of Hoheluft in St. Mark's church square. The trendy, cozy Advent market impresses with its sustainable and regional concept and the many lovingly designed books. Here locals and friends of the neighborhood find goods produced in a fair way and many actions that make not only the adults, but also the children's eyes shine. A great concern of the Advent season is to support charity and to do good: faithful to the spirit of Christmas.

The children will get their money's worth at this wintry-festive market and can shorten the waiting time until Christmas Eve with many nice actions: on the program are a merry ride in the carousel and the popular wish list on December 6th, where the young guests will be can write down their dearest wishes together with Nicholas. Every Wednesday "Bernd performs with the guitar", which is already well known and, above all, very popular with the children of the district. Bernd has the most beautiful children's songs and animates the young visitors playfully to participate. Under the motto "children help children", the young visitors are also encouraged to donate one or the other of their own toys and to pack gift packages for all those children who may not find a package under Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. These gifts go to Hamburg women's shelters.

But even adults expect a musical program on many evenings - matching the trendy "after-work mulled wine", which is available every Thursday with live DJ. Further highlights are the performances of various choirs and singer-songwriters, who promise a contemplative time with their sounds. In a cozy atmosphere, it can be so hot sound with hot drinks, chat and chat.

The charity idea runs through the St. Mark's Christmas market like a red thread: On Charity Monday (9th December), half of all market stall sales go to a charitable organization. So the mulled wine tastes twice as good! The charity hut, which is also on the market, is provided free of charge to surrounding dealers and farm shops on a daily basis - instead of a stand rental, the participants are invited to donate a portion of their sales to the "Ankerland eV" - an initiative which aims to provide Heavily traumatized children and adolescents care. Kittens, schools and clubs also have this service at their disposal.

But that's not all: Under the motto "Pack Your Package", all visitors are invited during Advent to deliver gift packages for the homeless in the market at the Glühweinstand and in the church, which will be handed over to the needy by the organizer bjp at the traditional Hamburg Christmas dinner in the Hofbräuhaus ,

Of course, the physical well-being of a Christmas market must not be neglected: in the nostalgic wooden huts of the market, only regional and fair products are offered. For example, when choosing their drinks, visitors can choose between mulled wine from regional production, lagoon punch, homemade apple punch with the juice of the action "Money hangs on the trees" and cocoa made from real chocolate. The food offers the classics of wintry cuisine - both hearty and sweet leaves the visitors mouth watering.

Alle Jahre wieder - Weihnachten am Gänsemarkt

During Advent, a fairytale village stands on the Gänsemarkt around the Lessing monument. The houses sell handicrafts, high-quality natural cosmetics and organic products.
