Sunday concerts on the Burgwiese Wildeshausen — Opening on June 14, 2026, with Musikkorps Wittekind and Speelkoppel Düngstrup
The Burgwiese concerts are the Sunday format of the Wildeshauser SommerKultur 2026. Several open-air concerts will take place on the historic Burgwiese on the edge of Wildeshausen's city center — the season opens on Sunday, June 14, 2026, with the Musikkorps Wittekind Wildeshausen starting at 11 a.m. and the Speelkoppel Düngstrup in the afternoon.
Free admission. The organizer is Stadtmarketing Wildeshausen, which coordinates the entire SommerKultur series between June and September. The Burgwiese concerts are particularly aimed at families and older visitors who want to spend a relaxed Sunday in nature on the edge of the old town.
The Burgwiese is located on the Wildeshausen Burgberg and, together with it, forms one of the most beautiful natural areas in the city center. The gently sloping meadow and the adjacent slope offer a natural open-air arena where the concert stage combines with a picnic atmosphere. Stadtmarketing has been using this location for years for Sunday concert formats that offer a regular spot for relaxed hours during the summer.
The season opening on Sunday, June 14, 2026, will be presented by Musikkorps Wittekind Wildeshausen starting at 11 a.m. with a "Frühschoppen" (morning pint) concert. In the afternoon, Speelkoppel Düngstrup will perform with Low German music and regional repertoire. The combination of brass music in the morning and North German folk program in the afternoon appeals to a broad audience.
The Musikkorps Wittekind is one of the most traditional brass music associations in the district of Oldenburg. With its classical brass music repertoire and North German folk tunes, it has shaped the musical life of the city for decades and is a regular guest on the Burgwiese.
In addition to June 14, further Burgwiese concerts are planned for July and August 2026. The exact dates and programs will be published in the overall brochure of the Wildeshauser SommerKultur 2026.
The Burgwiese concerts are one element of the extensive summer program coordinated by Stadtmarketing Wildeshausen. Other components include: SommerSound am Markt (Thursdays in July), Kulturfest SpielART (June 20), Thomanerchor (June 29), Wild Rock Open Air (August 22).
The 2026 season of the Burgwiese concerts begins on Sunday, June 14, 2026, with the Musikkorps Wittekind Wildeshausen (from 11 a.m.) and the Speelkoppel Düngstrup (afternoon). Both concerts take place on the Burgwiese — free admission.
Further concerts will follow on Sundays in July and August. The exact dates will be published in the spring of 2026 in the official brochure of the Wildeshauser SommerKultur 2026.
The "Frühschoppen" (morning pint) format, starting at 11 a.m., has been a well-established fixture on the Burgwiese for years. The organizers focus on a relaxed atmosphere: picnic blankets, snacks from a food stand on site, families with children, and older concertgoers mingle. The program usually ends around 4 or 5 p.m. after the afternoon concert.
The Musikkorps Wittekind Wildeshausen opens with its brass music repertoire. In the afternoon, the Speelkoppel Düngstrup brings North German folk music and Low German pieces to the stage — a form of regional musical tradition that has a loyal following in the region.
The exact 2026 program will be published by the organizer in spring/summer. The structure follows the proven cornerstones of previous years:
The Burgwiese concerts focus on brass music, folk, North German folk music, and occasionally jazz or acoustic pop. The program framework is family-friendly and aimed at all generations.
Free admission. Food stand on site.
