Aschenputtelspiel – Polle Castle Open-Air Stage
Fairy Tale Play by the Polle Amateur Theatre Group on the Open-Air Stage of the Oberburg
About Aschenputtelspiel Polle
Four Decades of Amateur Theatre
Since 1986, the Polle Amateur Theatre Group e.V. has been a significant contributor to the cultural life of the town. Generations of participants have staged fairy tales, legends, and folk stories on the open-air stage of the Oberburg Polle over the years. The Aschenputtelspiel has become a particularly prominent piece – it forms the centerpiece of the seasonal performances.
Fairy Tale Play in a Historic Setting
The Oberburg Polle sits enthroned above the Weser River, forming one of the most impressive castle ruins in the Weserbergland. The open-air stage in this setting lends the fairy tale play a special aura. Cinderella and the Prince, the wicked stepmother and stepsisters, doves, and magical transformations find their space here, allowing the fairy tale to unfold its full effect.
Family Event with Free Admission
Free admission – this is an important part of the amateur theatre group's ethos. Families from the Weserbergland and beyond can attend the play without financial barriers. Donations collected after the performances help to fund the work of the amateur theatre group.
