Das Superding

The Comeback of a Legend

Between 1979 and 1996, Das Superding, in eleven editions, was the largest cultural festival in the town of Niebüll in northern Schleswig-Holstein — a meeting point for music, theatre, readings, and encounters far beyond the town's borders. Three decades later, Neue Färberei Kulturhaus Niebüll e.V. is reviving the format: on March 28, 2026, celebrations will once again take place in the school center and the town hall.

Niebüll: Cultural Hub of North Frisia

Niebüll, with around 10,000 inhabitants, is the largest town in the Nordfriesland district in the state of Schleswig-Holstein and a transport hub between the mainland, Sylt, and Denmark. Die Neue Färberei, a socio-cultural center in a former dyeing workshop, is the town's most important cultural venue, hosting numerous concerts, readings, and workshops throughout the year.

Four Stages, Ten Hours, 1000 Encounters

Das Superding 2026 spreads its program across two central locations and four stages: the school center (main stage, auditorium, sports hall) and the town hall (hall stage). Concerts, DJ sets, open stages, readings, African dance and music performances, walking acts like Die mit dem Hut or Policia do Samba, a retro corner with an exhibition of historical photos and music from the 70s to 90s, children's activities, and stands from Niebüll associations make the festival a cross-section of Niebüll's entire cultural life.

Cooperations and Content

Confirmed acts include the bands RePolice (covers of The Police), Kerstin Bogensee & Band, Mattis Brodersen from Föhr, Brian O'Driscoll with Band from Denmark, Lotta Schwarzbard from Flensburg, the NorderPopChor, and Ove Thomsen. With TANON – The African Network of Nordfriesland, a cultural bridge to the region's African diaspora will be presented on stage — dances, drum workshops, food offerings. Stadtmarketing Niebüll supports the event organizationally and financially.
