Frankenhäuser Kultursommer

Culture under the open sky

Every July, the Frankenhäuser Kultursommer turns the historic town center into a festival stage. Concerts, theater, exhibitions, and interactive formats are spread across several days and squares. The festival is aimed at all age groups and draws from the special cultural DNA of the city.

The legacy of Werner Tübke

Bad Frankenhausen is closely associated with Werner Tübke's Bauernkriegspanorama (Peasants' War Panorama), exhibited on the Schlachtberg in a specially built circular building – one of the most significant monumental works of GDR art history. This cultural radiance also shapes the Kultursommer: it provides a stage for contemporary cultural work that complements this historical depth.

Bad Frankenhausen – Spa and Salt Town in the Kyffhäuser District

Bad Frankenhausen is a spa and salt town on the southern edge of the Kyffhäuser Mountains and belongs to the Kyffhäuserkreis in northern Thuringia. In addition to the Panorama Museum, the leaning tower of the Oberkirche, the historic brine springs, and the Kyffhäuser Monument just outside the city gates are known throughout the region.
